“I thought a park is a park. I was so wrong! This was a great tour and one of the highlights of our trip.”
“Awesome tour of Central Park. Jeremy was super knowledgeable and I’m certain after the tour that if I hadn’t taken the tour, I would have just wandered around Central Park with no appreciation for the meaning and thought behind each part. Absolutely loved it!”
“Jeremy our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Central Park. The pace was just right and I had time to take some photographs. Would highly recommend this tour.”
