Reviews from Tripadvisor

Educational and enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Carla made this a highlight of our four days in NYC. Her knowledge seemed endless and we learned so many things. There were a few kids in our group and she did a great job of sharing information that was of interest to everyone! GREAT TOUR.

Heart of Central Park Walking Tour

We've run, biked, and walked this park many times. Now, after taking the tour we have an appreciation and understanding of the nature, monuments, landscape, habitat, and so much more in the park. Our guide Juan was absolutely the best ever. He has an art history background and was able to help us understand and appreciate the surroundings. We highly recommend taking a tour and supporting Central Park.

Highly recommend this tour for tourists and residents alike!

We are from New Orleans but come to NYC all the time. Still we learned so much we didn’t know about the Park from this tour! Our tour guide, Carla, was amazing! Whether you are a tourist or a resident, I highly recommend this tour! An added benefit is the proceeds go to maintaining the park itself!

"Central Park is more than just a park. It's New York City's backyard. It's a place that features so much greenery and natural wonders, while at the same time highlighting the architecture. Simply put—it's a place to discover this great city of ours. Taking part in the Conservancy's tours is an excellent way to connect to this truly unique New York experience.”
