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! |

My 17 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this tour. The pace was just right and we had a great time exploring Central Park with a very knowledgeable tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour. |

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. |

I have been to Central Park a number of times before but never for a tour. We enjoyed the background info about the park itself as well as going to areas that we had not been to before. The tour was informative, interesting, and fun! My group consisted of myself and my 20 year old daughter. Both of us enjoyed the tour very much. Just an FYI, the tour covers about 2.5 miles within the park, some of which is uphill, also at a pretty quick pace. However, there were plenty of stops for rest and photo ops. Our tour guide was great, easy to understand, and very nice! We can't wait to do another tour! |

We really enjoyed the tour and it was a great way to see Central Park. The only downside was that the group is fairly large. Our guide was great and I would recommend it. |

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. |

Stephanie a lovely girl and knowledgeable. Our group was over 45 so were expecting more information on the older movies/sites/facts etc. Stephanies information though good was Gen Y stuff, alot of gossip girl, Sex in the City, Serenpidity etc...You must know your audience. A delightful, polite girl.. |

My sisters and I really enjoyed our Central Park Movie Site tour. First of all, the weather was absolutely perfect. The park was lovely....Fall was in full color. When our tour began, we wondered if our tour guide, Bianca, would use something to amplify her voice. She did not....and, after entering the park, we could clearly hear her as she described locations and the productions that were filmed at each stop. She included park history, past and current film/tv information.....and did it all with enthusiasm and knowledge. We absolutely enjoyed our tour and the chance to walk safely through the park. Having lived in NYC in the '60's, we were continually warned never to walk into the park. This is the first time I went past the front entry.....it was awsome! Thank you for this wonderful experience. |

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. |
