Awesome - Fred was an amazing guide from historical facts, to knowledge of all the trials, to amazing fun and laughter through the whole tour. Highly recommend. Even for those NYC residents who have never ventured into the North Woods (me).

Great Walking Tour Of Northern Central Park - This was a great tour - Fred is a terrific guide, and it was a perfect socially-distanced way to spend the morning. I'm a native New Yorker and was shocked at all the lovely parts of northern Central Park that I was unfamiliar with.

Very interesting Central Park history and modern times changes - This is a very good tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the park's history and changes that are being consiedered for the future. He had a good knowledge about New York City. He was very considerate to those who were having some trouble with the walking (thers is some uphill/downhill) on this tour. I definitely want to come back & do this again with my husband.

Interesting tour of Central Park - I have lived in New York City for 28 years and have been in Central Park often - but I learned a few new things and saw the park from a different perspective. Fred Pflanzter, our tour guide, did a great job conveying his enthusiasm for the Park. A very good way to spend a couple of hours - highly recommended.

Wonderful Tour - My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Central Park Secrets Walking Tour. Fred was very informative, but not overwhelming with too much information. It was a perfect tour with perfect weather. I highly recommend this tour. Afterward Fred went out of his way to give us info on local restaurants and walked with us most of the way. I felt his love for the park and his tour reflects that love!
