I am so glad I chose to do the bike tour of Central Park rather than just bike around myself. Our guide brought everything to life for us. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a history, past and present, of what we were looking at. It gave me a hunger to learn more. It was fun and so interesting. When we returned, I hired a bike for the afternoon and had a great few hours seeing further sights without extensive walking. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
Horrible service! We showed up for the guided tour of Central Park only to find out they did not have a guide. Apparently the bike shop didn’t take the time to look at their bookings for the day and then they made the excite the guide called in sick. They offered to let us use 2 bikes to ride around Central Park. In keeping with their lack of service both bikes needed repair and were in pretty bad condition. On top of that at no time did they offer us helmets. That was problematic as I was with my 14 year old grandson. I will be seeking a refund from trip advisor. I do not recommend this company at all!
Have been to NYC and visited Central Park many times but you only see so much when you are walking. This two hour tour was amazing seeing the full extent of the park. Our guide Martin was fantastic giving us lots of information. Would highly recommend this tour and company
Great experience! We had a tour with JJ on electric bikes. He was able to share facts, keep us on the right paths, and made sure to stop at many notable places! We were able to take photos and explore. Before the tour, they made sure all of us were comfortable on the bikes, had water, and outfitted us with free helmets (required for under 18, optional for the adults). Staff was polite and very helpful. We booked directly through the Fancy Apple website.
Luke was the best. Saw and learnt so much. Super cool experience
What a great trip and Martin was a perfect guide!
Incredible service, great bikes
Very good staff, very good trip, and very good bikes, good quality
My family went and we had a great experience. Our guide was very helpful and we had a great time.
Daryl knew so much! We were uncertain about whether to do a group tour or private because my 9 year old is small but she was great. Highly recommend!
