| If you know Central Park a bit or are just seeing it for the first time, this tour hits a lot of the highlights and gives a colorful, fun spin on things. Our guide, Kimberly, was so contagiously enthusiastic about her job and the movie scenes she was describing that it would be hard to not enjoy. Wished there were even more stops along the way. Loved getting the inside scoop. FUN! |

| The tour itself was fine but all I can say is.....the tour guide (Kimberly)... I asked her a simple question before the tour began and she nearly jumped down my throat. I felt as if I had been slapped in the face! Those who overheard her remark couldn't believe their ears! I didn't give the tour guide a tip; I don't know if anyone did! |

| I was very displeased with the Central Park walking tour on Saturday, July 5 with Jessica. From the moment we all arrived in the group Jessica mentioned that because of the rain we would be moving at a faster pace and try to get done in less than 2 hours. Well in our party we had someone that was unable to keep up the pace. At the first "stop" we explained to Jessica that my mother had 2 replaced hips and was unable to walk at her pace and she simply told us to "keep up." When we were able to catch up and listen to the tidbits she had to say she spoke so quickly it was very difficult to understand her. She spoke English and I speak English but she did not enunciate and when questions were asked she quickly sped through and kept on going. My father attempted to keep up with the tour while I stayed behind with my mother and he even had a hard time keeping her pace and he is in shape and walks everyday. I feel that the tour guides' lack of compassion, rudeness and clear attitude with having to do her job was unacceptable. We paid good money for a TWO hour tour and ended up leaving the tour early and walking around Central Park on our own with no explanation of movies and TV Shows.
I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone, instead walk around and then get a 40 minute ride on the Horse and Buggy as the driver tells you information along the way and keeps you entertained. |

| This tour was fun, interesting and enjoyable despite rainy weather. Our tour guide was very informative and nice. Central Park is so big and intimidating to a pair of NYC novices and this tour was a great way to safely explore it. Well worth the price. |

| I had some time to use while I was in NYC so I decided to take this tour. I had a great time listening to our tour guide while we walked through central park. She brought us to a few staging points of my favorite movie scenes. I swear I saw Penelope Cruz on the Walk of Writers. |

| Would recommend this guided tour to anyone who has no idea about what Central Park has to offer. This tour would appeal to movie and non-movie lovers alike. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and our guide, Kimberley, really knew her stuff ! There was ~ 2hrs of walking but in the brilliant sunshine who cared. Everyone in our group of ~ 15 people was given the opportunity to ask questions and take photographs. A "must do" activity to give you an overview of Central Park used in films and also about its creation. |

We left soaked and early.

| for me it was more like an tour in central park to see places in the central park. i couldn't remember the most movies, may by pictures would help. but it was intresting to see the different places in central park, i saw places where i would never find. i would recommend a littel information for after the tour to read again which movie was made where and to watch the movie at home and then you can remember |

| During our recent visit to New York we went a number of tours that were way more interesting than this one.
Don't really have anything interesting to add on this tour - we could have walked it with a map ourselves. Tour guide didn't add anything of value to the tour.
