This Central Park walking tour was amazing! We thought this would be one of the best ways to see the park in the limited time we had in the city, and boy were we right! Jeremy was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and funny! We LOVED this tour and highly recommend it for anyone coming to visit NYC!

Our tour guide Jeremy was very well informed, and an obvious expert on Central Park. He had an easy way of informing us about Central Park, starting with the origins and the designer and architect of the buildings and bridges. We visited on a very snowy day in February, which just added to the scenery. The tour does not cover all of the Park as it is huge. The part we explored took a couple of hours or so to walk round so be prepared! Jeremy was happy to answer any questions we had, and said he hadn't been asked anything he couldn't answer. There are some architectural gems that you will come across, but it's best you discover those if you book a tour. Overall a very enjoyable tour led by someone who knows his subject. I'd definately recommend this tour
