Yasin was amazing! Great tour ton of fun. My 12 year old says he was very funny and fun to be with.
Yacine was a great guide!!! So funny and great info
Manil was absolutely fabulous
Wonderful way to get an overview of the Park and hear the history of the iconic spots. My guide was humorous and knowledgeable and allowed ample time for me to explore at the planned stops. So grateful they allowed solo passengers without charging double. Highly recommend this company
Johnny was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide.
Our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable, and very nice. I cannot remember his name. We’ve been calling him Stan, because of his quiz/joke about being from one of the Stans. We both felt very comfortable in his pedicab. I enjoyed all his movie/tv knowledge and the history he shared with us about Central Park. I highly recommend this tour.
