Chris gave a great tour through Central Park pointing out where movies filmed and the history of the park and surrounding area.
We are so happy you enjoyed your day in the park.
Our guide was friendly but wasn’t as knowledgeable as I hoped. The trip was a lot of walking in silence when I would have liked to hear more facts. Also, some of the information shared didn’t seem important. For example, I did not need to know the details about the horse that died last month. On the other hand, I did really enjoy learning the facts about some of the buildings around the park. Just overall a bit disappointed.
Chris is a guide who studies religiously, not just on the history of the park and surroundings, but also the everyday occurrences that affect the living and breathing landscape. Perhaps the knowledge of the disturbing occurrence was unsettling for you, but the role of horses in the park is an ongoing issue for all who use and visit the park. As to Chris being silent at times during your visit, that is a new one for us. Chris is nearly always gregarious and full of bohomie, but your observation has been brought to his attention and duly noted.
Our guide Chris was fantastic, He was very knowledgeable and gave us so much information about beautiful Central Park. We loved it Thanks Chris Julie and Ron

Arty was a great tour guide. He explained the history and design of the part., showed us points of interest and pointed out different buildings in the skyline. The pace of the tour was perfect to take it all in and stop for photo opts. Thank you for a great time
Thank you. We are lucky to have Arty.
Chris was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the park, and took us to a lot of places we have never seen before! I would highly recommend this tour, me and my friends are from NYC but we really enjoyed learning more about the park.
Chris's preparation in showing the park is second to none. Thank you for noticing.
Chris was an outstanding guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He did a great job accommodating everyone in the group, making sure all questions were answered and that everyone felt included. I highly recommend this walking tour, especially if you have Chris as your guide!

We loved our guide! He was super knowledgeable about history of the United States, history of New York, and history of Central Park. He was fun and engaging. As someone who has trouble hearing in loud environments, I especially appreciated his voice and elocution.
