Enjoyed the ride, we had two pedicabs for our family of four but the drivers kept us side by side most of the ride. They made stops at some great locations for photos and gave us great information on some of the sights. We also thought this was a great deal because it included the Museum of Natural History tickets!

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour and found it both fun and easy. It’s wonderful to hear that you loved the photo stops and appreciated our guides’ knowledge.
Beautiful walk through Central Park with a combination for admission to the Natural History Museum. Yet arrived 1/2 hour before the scheduled time, we felt a scramble because no presence of a French guide and obviously no tickets for admission to the museum with in addition a modification of the route in central Park since we had specified having bought the walk + Museum service... The ballad was cut short by a good ten minutes with puncture...
Moni and Ali were both amazing guides for our pedicab tour. They kept our 2 pedicabs close together and made us feel really comfortable with our 2 kids along. They were safe drivers and so nice! Really enjoyed the experience.
