Lugares secretos do Central Park

Great tour! Our guide Bruce has amazing knowledge of Central Park. Tour was very informative and interesting.

Bruce was a fantastic tour guide on the Secrets of Central Park. This is the second tour we have been on with Bruce and he did not disappoint. Bruce shared so many great sights and interesting stories and information about Central Park that gave us insight into the park that we would have never had. Bruce showed us parts of the park that most people don’t know about. If you want to have a great time and a greater appreciation for the park then this tour is for you.

After a wonderful Saturday afternoon on Bruce’s “Hamilton & Washington” walking tour, I eagerly anticipated his “Central Park: Secret Places” tour—and I was delighted that I joined. While many walking tours concentrate on the southern edge of Central Park, this experience highlights the northern edge, a more naturalistic and often overlooked part of this historic park. It was eye‑opening to learn about the park’s lesser‑known history while discovering hidden gems such as the Huddlestone Arch and the granite bench dedicated to Andrew Haswell Green. This tour is highly recommended for anyone seeking a more serene side of the city, a chance to step away from the daily hustle, and the opportunity to enjoy rich historical narratives delivered by a professional historian.

Bruce was the best! He obviously has a wealth of knowledge and passion for NY Central Park history! This tour is totally worth it!

I am a first time tour goer! I was reluctant as I even a resident NY'er. This was recommended to me by a huge NYC tour friend, and she was 100 percent correct. I have learned- Bruce is no ordinary tour guide. He is super enthusiastic, super knowledgable, kind and fun! I love Nature, and he blended the history with the "secret tips " of NY's Central Park. There was so much I did not know. This is fun for dates, families, solo people. We had the kindest group where we all got to know each other a bit. A secret tip about your tour guide- when Jimmy Fallon wants a private tour of this family, he requests Bruce. That should give you an idea. This is no ordinary experience. You leave with little gifts, both literally and spirtually!

We began our 10-day trip to NYC with a noon tour of Secret Places of Central Park with Bruce. It was the perfect introduction to the park and the city itself. The tour was endlessly fascinating. Bruce is a historian by training and a lifelong New Yorker—his passion for the park was infectious. The tour grounded our stay—we made a couple trips back to Central Park simply to "unbend the mind" and experience nature (or, as Bruce pointed out many times, "natural-ISM"). Through the tour I've come to view the park as a national treasure. If New York is the big apple, the park is its core. Bruce's knowledge of the park is encyclopedic, but his presentation was always easy-going and entertaining. Bruce rocks (or, more appropriately, schists)!

Bruce was a phenomenal tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Central Park, and New York history at large! Well prepared and able to easily respond to spontaneous inquiry with enthusiasm and warmth.

Bruce is a great, knowledgeable tour guide. The hike through upper Central Park was amazing and full of historical background that we never could have learned on our own.

Our tour guide, Bruce, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and was wonderful with my grandchildren. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Central Park.

Maybe the best walking tour ever. Bruce was super smart and personable. Learned a ton. Benn yo park for my whole life but saw new places and have a new appreciation of its splendor. Highly recommend.
