| My husband and I found the guide excellent and able to provide information that was interesting and informative. Was well mannered and communicative to all on the tour. Lively pace but easy to manage. |

| We were so excited about this tour that we showed up 30 minutes early. But the guide never showed and although they had our phone numbers, no one ever called. There had to have been more than 25 of us waiting. To make matters worse, the contact phone number they gave had a recording, but no mention was made of the cancelling of the tour. Needless to say, I requested a refund. A couple of days later, I got an email that said the money would be refunded in 10 days. It hasn't been 10 days yet so I'm not sure if it will be a no show as well. Beside the total waste of our time, the worst thing about this incident was that we never got any kind of explanation or apology--no professionalism, not even common courtesy. |

| We were in the sun for quite a while sometimes, so bring sunscreen, wear sneakers (rough paths), and make sure you take water.
The tour guide was informative and fun, and gave breaks that were well-timed. I grew up in the city, worked in Central Park for years, and still learned some new things. A great thing to do on a Saturday afternoon. |

| This tour was great. You really get a good detailed tour of the lower to middle central park. Along with movie locations, our tour guide also gave us historical information about the park as well. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice. The sites are amazing and very pretty. The tour guide also showed us where several famous people live. It was so worth the 15 dollars a person. I recommend it! |

| I took three teenage girls to see the wonderful city of New York. This was their first time in the city and I wanted to gear the trip to their interests. I found this tour to be the perfect match of some history on the park and entertainment value. I would have liked to have more history thrown in but Kimberly did a very nice job of covering it all in the time she had.......and she was respective to questions....so if you wanted to learn more about the park in other areas -- she seemed knowledgeable. I enjoyed her enthusiastic attitude. I would have appreciated a little more information on the meeting spot.... Waited at the spot and really didn't know if we were waiting in the right area.......other tourist felt the same way. Otherwise this tour is a value and I would not only recommend it to others.....I would go again. Thank you. |

| The guide was wonderful, the pace of walking comfortable. We could have used a little more time at the carrousel. We were given the option to ride the carrousel, but that was not enough tiem consdiering the length of each ride. |

| Our guide (I forgot her name) was very nice and easy to talk too as well as knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to like doing these tours. The only issue was the time of day. If this tour happened in the morning (maybe 9 a.m.) it might be better especially in the summer, but that isn't our tour guides fault. IT was just warm and from 3-5 p.m. that is usually when the high temperatures for the day hit. But we had plenty of opportunities to get in the shade and also buy water (if you didn't bring any with you or ran out). She was able to point out a lot of places in Central Park that were part of the tour (movies sites) as well as some general history which is also interesting when you are on these types of tours. Just be sure you do know that it is a full 2 hour walking tour when you sign up. It is a good tour though and I would possibly do it again if the tour had more to offer for those that had taken it before (or just a history tour of Central Park even). |
