Central Park NYC Walking Tour

Explore Central Park with a guide on a 2. 5-hour walking tour that covers all the highlights. You'll also learn how the landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux created this urban masterpiece. As a local New Yorker, this is among my absolute favorite places in the city, one that I explore regularly. I have wandered every path, and read countless books on its history, art, and future to ensure that you get the most personalized experience possible. With me as your guide, you will not risk getting lost in the park, and missing out on the most iconic spots that you have seen in countless films and television spots. My route ensures an iconic experience! See the contrast of natural beauty-- lawns, meadows, lakes, and more-- contrasting with the city of skyscrapers around it. And as we walk along, you will forget that the city is there. Discover why Central Park has been called "one of the greatest works of art in America! "
