Overview

Central Park is the most famous urban park in the world, and this tour will help you discover why. From the sweeping Central Park Mall to the Bow Bridge to Strawberry Fields to the gorgeous Bethesda Terrace, and much more, your guide will make sure you get to see all of the highlights of this expansive park. Along the way, you'll learn the fascinating history of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's urban masterpiece. Central Park has been called “one of the greatest works of art in America”. Come see why! Your walking tour will start at Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza and continue on through the park. Your guide will show you all the highlights of the park at a leisurely pace, while providing historic photos for reference. This tour takes place year round, as each season is a different experience. The best thing about this park is that every month brings changes and new discoveries. A small-group tour also provides a more personal experience.

Central Park Highlights

Published on Oct, 2024

Jeremy was a wealth of information and very engaging. Our group enjoyed the tour of Central Park immensely.

Brilliant tour - great guide who knew his stuff. We learned heaps about the history of New York

Published on Jul, 2024

We had a brilliant time with Jeremy. He is very personable and knowledgeable and we had a great time exploring. However we will be telling all our friends to make sure they go to the bathroom before the walk. Bethesda Terrace bathrooms were the dirtiest most disgusting of the bathrooms we have encountered on our travels over the last thirty years, even in third world nations.

A Morning Stroll Through Central Park

Published on Jun, 2024

Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable about the park’s history, places of interest in the park and answered everyone‘s questions. I saw exactly the sites in the park I wanted to see. He recommended a restaurant for lunch to eat, (Friedman’s) after the tour and it did not disappoint. I will definitely recommend this tour, but would warn about a couple of hills to climb.

Great for families visiting NYC --you'll learn a ton, too, if you live here!

Published on May, 2024

Jeremy was an awesome guide through Central Park. I moved to NYC over 20 years ago, and I took my mom who was visiting NYC. I loved it as much as she did. I had no idea of the history that Jeremy taught us and led us through. I recommend it for anyone -- New Yorker or visitor -- or combination of both. Thanks, Jeremy!

Loved this walking tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Loved this walking tour. The guide grew up in NYC and has done obviously done a lot of research about the park’s history. He also has a lot of little tidbits of information that he’s picked up during the 8 years he’s been doing this.
