Engaging, fun family friendly activity - Excellent experience! A great family activity, highly recommended. As you maybe aware toilets are few and far between in NYC, unfortunately my kids needed a quick pee 🙈 before the tour, which left us late and the tour had to leave without us (totally understandable) but the lovely guys got us caught up on the tour group, and Luke was really nice and kept the kids interested the whole tour.
A holiday highlight!

Great Tour! - Fun tour! Our tour guide Darrell, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the park and the city! We had a good size group and we weren't the best/fastest on the bike but Darrell was very accommodating and we had a great time!

So worth it, Very fun! - WOW! Our group of four on a girls trip for my Nieces 16th Birthday opted for a private tour and LUKE did NOT disappoint. Our group ranged from 16 to 68 and everyone felt engaged, giddy and comfortable with the content, the pace and the ride. Luke was not a robot and was genuinely excited to share the best fun facts about his city. He answered questions we had and we felt the private tour was well worth it as we felt we got a little bit of the curtain pulled back for us. Highly recommend Fancy Apple and VERY highly recommend Luke, memories were definitely made! Thanks Luke!

Excellent First Impression of the Central Park - Excellent tour for first-time visitors to Central Park. The park is huge and this tour allows participants to see a significant part of it, which would not be possible to cover on foot. The tour includes riding, stops, walks, time to rest and photo opportunities in the places of interests, and of course, the guide's talks and stories.
Our guide, Martin, instructed us about traffic rules in the park and was extremely helpful to be aware of our surrounding (other bikers, horse carriages, walkers, vehicles etc.) while riding. We liked his enthusiastic and humorous approach. Special thanks to Martin for his protection and help during the last leg of the tour - riding from the park back to the bike shop on a busy NY street.

Pulling of - The guider said, that he don't get his salary from the Fancy Apple firm, but from the tips of the customers. Then what I don't understand is why is more expensive the guided tour that a simple bike renting???!
