NYC Park Tours™ | Central Park Tours — Local services in New York

A true trip highlight with Omar being one of the best tour guides I’ve had. On booking I honestly thought I was paying for someone to drive us around the park for an hour. It wasn’t something I saw as a great value since seeing the park can be done for free on your own two feet.

However; I was so wrong. This ended up being the best return on investment I felt like I had across the whole trip to NYC.

My sister and I were encouraged to get out and explore each of the park highlights we visited. Omar got out with us at each, volunteering to take a few photos then letting us have our privacy to explore/ see the site. He truly cared about helping us get great shots and even offered some fun pose ideas along the way.

However; the highlight was Omar’s personality! He was welcoming, funny, and informative. The tour was peppered with jokes, history, and modern day facts about the park and the surrounding area. We especially enjoyed how much he taught us about the section of the park dedicated to John Lennon.

Using a pedicab service allowed us to cover much more of the park than we could have ever done on foot. Partially because of timing, partially because our feet were exhausted as this was the last day of our trip. Combining that with the personalization our guided brought, this experience was hands down worth every dollar spent. A must do for any first time...

Did the 1 hour tour with for our family of 7, we had 3 guides, what a great time. I rode with AJ, I feel bad that I can’t tell you the other tour guides names since I didn’t ride with them, cuz I would like to give them a shout out as well. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, made you feel comfortable on our ride. Have read many reviews about rude and pushy guides, but not these guys. And at the end, never even mentioned anything about a tip, even though they had deservedly earned one. AJ simply said that he would really appreciate a review if I had felt that I had enjoyed my ride, which my family and I had truly done. If you want a pedicab ride through Central Park, book ahead of time with these guys and you can...

Communication was great before our booked 2 hour park tour. Our guide Ricky turned up promptly in a lovely clean new rickshaw unlike many of the others. Ricky was the perfect host giving a warm welcome and making us feel very relaxed. His knowledge of the park and its history is encyclopaedic and always had a perfectly timed movie clip or piece of music to bring it all to life. Very professional but kept it all great fun without ever appearing to just be going through the motions. The park has lots of bits to see you might struggle to find yourself and though it’s not cheap it was an enjoyable trip for us all and I would recommend. There are probably other good guides but I would...
