It was great! Alex was friendly, funny and very informative. The pictures he took of us were fantastic as well! It is a little pricey and the 2-hour tour only covers the south side of Central Park, so we didn’t get to ride through the whole thing. I had no idea Central Park was THAT big, but I think it’s worth it if you’re taking a quick weekend trip and you’re on a time crunch like I was. We would not have seen a quarter of what we did if we had been walking.

We had arranged to meet our pedicar just outside of Central Park, the driver John was there bang on time and what a character he turned out to be, from start to finish he was cracking jokes and singing apart from this his local knowledge was superb, John even gave us a blantket to keep warm in the horrendous weather this turned out to be one o the best trips we had ranged

it was fabulous. our guide Muhammad was great really funny and very knowledgeable. Tons of photos we felt like models, hilarious. but highly recommended. hope you get Muhammad. He was mint
