Description
Central Park is 843 acres. You could wander for days and still miss the best of it. That's where we come in. Join one of New York's most passionate and experienced guides for an intimate, two-hour cycling journey through the world's greatest feat of landscape architecture, designed in 1858 and still breathtaking today. We handle everything: bikes, helmets, and all the gear you need, riding a dedicated bike lane straight into a park that's been car-free since 2018. No traffic. No stress. Just you, the path, and one of the most iconic places on earth. With decades of combined experience, we cover the geology, the real history, the movie filming locations, the real estate, and the stories you won't find in a guidebook. We ride to each stop, you get a deep dive on the landmark, then you get real time to explore, wander, and take photos at your own pace. If it's your first time visiting the park, this is the experience that will make it unforgettable.

Great boutique exp with lots of coverage
I think the tour was great, good coverage from different ends of the park which we could not have done on foot in that much time. Not too hard, good pace ! Only 3 of us on tour so very boutique exp.

Highly recommended!!! Best Central Park tour ever!!!
Amazing tour!!! I've done Central Park tours before but this one tops my list. Filip was very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide who made our experience great. We've learned many historical and fun facts about Central Park and NY. The price was very reasonable, well worth the time we spent on the tour. I highly recommend it.

Highlight of our NYC weekend!
Filip was great- charming and funny! I had my 12 year old daughter with me for this bike ride and it was fun for both of us. We have tried touring the park ourselves but it’s so massive it’s hard. This is a great way to cover a lot of ground and have someone tell you the importance of the locations and point out what’s what! Thank you!
