Great Walking Tour of Central Park - Our tour guide, Michael Hunt of Central Park Environs Walking Tour, was excellent - well-informed, interesting background on the park — its layout, its history, the artistic effort that went into creating it — as well as the local politics affecting the surrounding area and buildings.
Mr. Hunt was on time (early, actually) and kept our group informed and entertained for 2-3 hours.
I highly recommend this tour!

Central Park comes to life in the snow - Michael was an incredible tour guide - committing to doing a solo tour just for me on a very cold January day. He’s a born storyteller and opened my eyes to the park in a way that I could never have truly appreciated its beauty without understanding the history behind it. He was also an incredible photographer.
Can’t recommend Michael highly enough -do this if you are in New York!

Excellent tour - not too fast, not too slow - Had a great time. The tour flew by. It was so comforting on our first visit to such a large place to have someone show us around. The trivia was very interesting and put things into perspective. Would highly recommend.

Great Way To See Central Park! - Myself and my partner did this tour during our trip to NYC - we've booked a few tours during our stay and so far, this has been the best!
Michael is very informative, engaging and we both learnt a lot
Yes you can walk around Central Park for free but it was great to do the tour with Michael and learn a lot about the history of the park
Michael includes information about nature, celebrities, history and all-sorts during this tour
Would 100% recommend for any age of person!
