Itinerary
One of Central Park's most famous landmarks. Located very close to the geographical center of the city, or "The Heart of New York".
The Central Park Mall is a famous destination, having appeared in countless movies and television programs. It's also the only straightaway in the park!
Cherry Hill has another beautiful fountain, surrounded by foliage and footpaths. From here one can clearly see the Bow Bridge, as well as the lake. This is also a common rest stop for the horses working in the park!
The oldest artifact in the park! At over 2,000 years old, a relic of Ancient Egypt has taken permanent residence in Central Park. Immediately behind you will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art!
A giant body of water in the middle of the park, overlooked by skyscrapers. One of the top spots for photos in the whole park!
This mosaic memorial to the former Beatles star John Lennon is located just a stone's throw away from the location where the artist died. A serene location where you can often find musicians playing away!
Sheep meadow is a very large pasture that serves as a place for visitors of the park to relax, participate in recreation, or take photos.

We loved this! Highly recommend! The guide was really knowledgeable and ensured our safety as a family on bikes and scooters.
This was a pleasant experience. Even though it is a busy park, there were still many spots along the way where the guide stopped to share interesting facts, let us walk around, and enjoy the scenery. I enjoyed the calmness of it against the backdrop of a constant on the go city. Use the bathroom before you get there just in case theirs isn’t operating. There were a few hills but not bad; enough to feel a burn and work up a healthy sweat. Would have been a “5” but no tissue in the restroom while most people would want to go before a physical activity made me rate the experience at a “4.” The guide remembered along the way and said to go down a set of stairs to find a restroom but I never saw any stairs in the direction of which he pointed. Overall, it was a good experience and I would do it again in other travels in other cities.
Great 2 hour trip guided by Arnie. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and took lots of photos for us. Having a guided tour makes a huge difference to understanding about Central park. We were four adults and we all enjoyed it and got something out of it.
Edward was an amazing guide! We have been to the park before and he altered his usual route to show us parts we had not seen.
I booked a bike tour for 9’people in advance. We arrived on time and they had no tour guide available and would not refund us or try and make it right. This place has poor management. Such a disappointment and very frustrating.
Mike was a knowledgeable and fun guide. The weather was fabulous and this was a great way to cover much of Central Park and learn about the history of it and the interesting facts at each of our stops. Highly recommend, especially if you have limited time in NYC, as this was a beautiful respite from the crowded, noisy madness of the city.
It’s been a smooth experience. Everything as described and offered. Our tour guide was great but sometimes hard to understand due to her heavy French accent
Our guide was hard to understand as she was not fluent in English. Also, I fell and was bloody and the guide just took off once she saw us coming. The other people in the group had to tell her I was bleeding and had to go back and leave the group. When I did get back to the rental place they did not offer even a band aid . Just gave me dry paper towel to clean it up with. Very disappointing experience over all:
Tour guide was very informative. Great way to see the park. Would have been nice for the bikes to be adjusted (seat wise) on arrival. Was given a seat with a rip in but this was changed upon request.
Great guide Chris, well informed, friendly. Fun with some exercise. Knew how to adjust bike to customer preferences
