Arti was terrific. Relaxing stroll through Central Park. Learnt a lot.
What a fun and fact-filled two-hour stroll we had through the park. Chris was extremely personable and knowledgeable and the top rating is well deserved. I had been to the park several times before but never had the appreciation that I now have for the huge impact/importance that the Park has for New Yorkers and the vision that went into its creation. Do not hesitate - book now! The most worthwhile thing that we have booked on this trip...
Wow! Chris has gotten many great reviews, but this one is right at the top. Thank you so much!
Chris was a knowledgeable and great tour guide. Gave a lot of information and open to discussion. We loved it and we are all tri state area residents.
Your positive comments are much appreciated. Thank you.
Great way to learn about the conception and planning of Central Park along with details about how each section was designed and envisioned. Our guide, Chris, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Great guide!
Chris was fantastic, what a wealth of knowledge! Has answers to all your questions. We had a lovely time, thank you Chris!
Chris gave a great tour through Central Park pointing out where movies filmed and the history of the park and surrounding area.
We are so happy you enjoyed your day in the park.
Our guide was friendly but wasn’t as knowledgeable as I hoped. The trip was a lot of walking in silence when I would have liked to hear more facts. Also, some of the information shared didn’t seem important. For example, I did not need to know the details about the horse that died last month. On the other hand, I did really enjoy learning the facts about some of the buildings around the park. Just overall a bit disappointed.
Chris is a guide who studies religiously, not just on the history of the park and surroundings, but also the everyday occurrences that affect the living and breathing landscape. Perhaps the knowledge of the disturbing occurrence was unsettling for you, but the role of horses in the park is an ongoing issue for all who use and visit the park. As to Chris being silent at times during your visit, that is a new one for us. Chris is nearly always gregarious and full of bohomie, but your observation has been brought to his attention and duly noted.
Our guide Chris was fantastic, He was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information about beautiful Central Park. We loved it Thanks Chris Julie and Ron
We are so happy you had enjoyable time!
Arty was a great tour guide. He explained the history and design of the part., showed us points of interest and pointed out different buildings in the skyline. The pace of the tour was perfect to take it all in and stop for photo opts. Thank you for a great time
Thank you. We are lucky to have Arty.
Chris was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the park, and took us to a lot of places we have never seen before! I would highly recommend this tour, me and my friends are from NYC but we really enjoyed learning more about the park.
Chris's preparation in showing the park is second to none. Thank you for noticing.
