Great tour with an excellent guide - This was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. We were lucky to have Paul Kelly as our guide - he was friendly, funny and engaging and pointed out all of the lovely sights of Central Park and gave us a bit of background and history. He was very encouraging of my mum who is in her 60s and hadn’t been on a bike in 20 years - she was worried she wouldn’t keep up but ended up loving it. It was a wonderful way to see the park, especially on a sunny and dry day. My only negative comment would be that the checking in process was very chaotic. There were several large queues when we arrived 20 mins before the tour and we weren’t sure where to go - we were worried about missing the tour. There was also additional paperwork to fill in that we didn’t expect and we had to leave personal ID at the bike shop - they wouldn’t accept copies. I can’t let that detract from Paul Kelly’s excellent tour though and would recommend it wholeheartedly - albeit with the advice to turn up early and tell staff straight away that you’re on the tour.

A Magnificent day in Central Park - Almost every stop. Even though I grew up in NJ and have been to Central Park a few times in my life, it was always for a certain event and so I never learned about the Park itself. This was quite enlightening and interesting. Our guide, Chuck was the best. He really knew what to tell us to make it fascinating and fun. He timed our riding and stopping in a way that made it completely enjoyable and doable for a 77-year-old (fit) woman.

Great day for a ride around Central Park - Five biking friends and I did this tour with Chuck as our guide. The tour was wonderful on a perfect day. The bikes were just ok for some of us because we weren’t on our own, comfortable bikes. I’d do it again.

Discovering Central Park with Benjamin - Benjamin was a perfect guide! Patient, precise in explanations, available to answer questions and attentive to the needs of the group. It was wonderful to see Central Park with him and he certainly made us discover hidden corners and little treasures that we wouldn't have been able to find on our own. 5 stars therefore but only because I can't give 6. I highly recommend the service if you go to New York

Great way to see the park without exhausting one's legs! - Fabulous tour with Dan. Lots of engagement, information and entertainment! Loved my ebike - as a 71 year old who walked 35000 steps the day before and thought her legs would never work again, it was a life saver! Dull weather, but it meant we had the park largely to ourselves and we made the most of it. Would happily do it all over again if I had the time.

Nice Central Park ride - The bike ride was a nice overview of Central Park and our guide Benjamin was very informative of the history and sites. The e-bikes were in good condition and fun to ride.

Mixed experience - Mixed experience from this tour. On a positive note, the bikes provided were good and the tour itself (in terms of route, locations visited etc.) was well thought out. We had great weather in the park too which was great. However, our experience of the organisation from the bike rental shop was poor: when we arrived the queue for bike rental was very long and there was no one directing those who actually had tours booked (such as ourselves) to the inside desk; some of the staff that we spoke to, particularly those distributing the bikes, were rude to ourselves and other customers - I understand the busyness of the place will have made their job stressful, but this shouldn’t be let out on paying customers. Finally, our tour guide (though a nice guy) was quite quiet during our tour and didn’t deliver the tour about the park with much fluidity - other tours taking place at the same time seemed to have guides who were much more confident and could orate the tour better.
