Our guide, Omar, took us around to see the main highlights in Central Park: the ice-skating rink, Strawberry Fields, statues, lakes, and the sites of many movies. His pedicab is comfortable, and he allowed us time at a few stops to take pictures. He took pictures for us, and told us a lot of the history of the park.

We booked for the hour tour and our guide was brilliant. He explained and showed us all the key sites on the tour and took loads of photos of us.

Our driver and Horse were wonderful. We enjoyed ourselves and so glad we took the ride. I’d recommend it to others.

although windy and chill, we managed to hit almost all important dpots of the park

Great guide! Easy to find. Really good communication with text updates.
