Walking Central Park - Exploring Central Park with Fred was a great experience. A native New Yorker, he shared the history of the park and surrounding area, and was a walking encyclopedia of interesting facts. Highly recommend.

Central Park Walking tour with Fred! - Fred was our tour guide - he was fantastic! He provided so much information that we would never have been aware of if we walked on our own.
I highly recommend Fred for a walking tour! My husband and I and our kids (11 and 15) thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from this tour!
