Great way to spend 2 hours in Central Park! - Ali was great! He was very knowledgeable about the park and narrated each landmark for 2 full hours! Pickup was on time in front of the hotel. We are metro natives but had a blast acting like tourists for the day. Cool way to spend a hot day! Pedicabs are motorized.

Disappointing! - Friendly guide although we couldn’t understand half of the things he was saying. We were also lied to about some of the features in Central Park including the fountain from Friends, which is not the real fountain at all as the real one is actually in California. Really disappointing after thinking this was the real one. We now also question the other information we were given. We were also all but forced to leave a 5 star review by the guide who was telling us what to write and how many stars to leave. Massive anticlimax!
