Full description

One of the best ways to get to the heart of Central Park is on foot. You will be guided by a former Central Park employee on a tour that offers a complete picture of this iconic New York City landmark. On this tour of New York's backyard, you will hear about the park's origins and admire its design. Learn about the cultural influence of the park, and feel the peace that comes from walking through the natural environment. Many people are familiar with Central Park, but do not know the most interesting places to explore. With 843 acres, this landscape masterpiece has a lot to offer. Your guide will show you the highlights of Central Park, many of which feature in popular movies. See the Gapstow Bridge, a film site for the home alone II movie, and pass the Wollman Rink, from love story and serendipity. Walk past the Dairy, and stroll along the Mall and Literary Walk. Explore Conservatory Water, an ornamental pond that featured in the Stuart Little movie.  See the Alice in Wonderland statue, and Bethesda Terrace that overlooks the lake. Cross Bow Bridge, where some of the filming of spider man III took place. Wander through Strawberry Fields, the peace garden and memorial to John Lennon.

Lyall was amazing. He was friendly and knowledgeable about the park. He brought me to all the places my favourite movies were filmed and also to places that had interesting stories behind it (statues, strawberry fields etc) A lot of pictures from an older time were shown to compare. The whole tour was so fascinating that I did not realiZed I dropped my cardigan !!! He was also very patient with me when it came to photo taking 😆 I had such a good time and it is worth every dollar! You must give it a try!

We wanted to see Central Park but given its size, we were unsure how we could fit it in our schedule without spending a whole day there, so we choose to go on a guided tour and it was definitely one of the best decisions we made during our stay. The tour guide, Lyall has shown as the -I believe- most popular spots, explained the history of the park and he took great photos of us :) he was funny and it’s obvious he has a great knowledge on Central Park. Truly recommend this walking tour!
