Excellent guide and great highly recommended tour - About a week ago, on February 15th, 2026, I visited New York on my own, and of course I couldn’t miss the chance to spend some time in Central Park. I’d been missing the place ever since my last visit with my wife on June 28th, 2025. I couldn’t help but think about Chris, the guide who accompanied us during that June tour. Chris is a true theatre man—polite, charismatic, and a New Yorker through and through. He knows the city’s history inside out, along with all its colorful stories. The tour began at Verdi Square, and from there we continued into Central Park, stopping at the important landmarks and hearing the stories behind them. After that, we made our way to Fifth Avenue—New York’s luxury shopping boulevard with its iconic architecture—passed through Rockefeller Center, and ended at Grand Central Terminal. Throughout the entire tour, Chris shared the historical background of each place and enriched his explanations with photos and illustrations on the tablet he brought with him. His commentary was professional, detailed, and genuinely fascinating. During the tour, Chris made sure to adjust the pace to our preferences and was incredibly flexible and responsive when we asked him to elaborate on certain topics. Chris is an excellent guide, and the very fact that I’m writing this recommendation half a year after my previous visit says a lot. Being back in the park gave me a real sense of déjà vu, and it reminded me of how Chris made that earlier visit so enjoyable. I’m truly grateful to him for that.

Great experience - Centeral Park and 5th Avenue walking tour - We had a really great time with Chris in New York at his central park and the 5th avenue walking tour. We have experienced the park's beautiful sights and its peaceful vibes alongside the luxurious and lively parts of Manhattan. Throughout the tour Chris was giving us interesting reviews, stories and historical facts about the places we were walking in. Chris was very amiable and knowledgeable. He tailored the experience to our pace and was attentive to our needs.

Walk in paradise - We started on 72nd street and made our way through Central Park starting at Imagine and the the Bartholdi fountain and stairs, Chris our guide was very knowledgeable but also really friendly guide. We then went down 5th avenue stopping at several places on the way which again Chris was fantastic and took pictures of us both when we wanted and we were never rushed at any point. Overall experience was well worth the money we paid. Thank you Chris
