Central Park Guided Landmark and Nature Tour

The Central Park tour is a unique full park guided tour! We will start at Central Park North (the 110th Street entrance) and work our way all the way down to Central Park South (ends at Columbus Circle, 59th Street). This tour is perfect for those who want to see both the landmarks of the park along with the less known spots that only a local would know. Expect to see plenty of photo worthy spots! I will provide both official park trivia and personal insights.
The tour is approximately 5-6 miles and will take about 4-5 hours to complete.

This is a public group tour and you might be matched with other random parties. I always believe the more the merrier, but if you prefer a private tour with me and your own party please go back and choose "Private Half Day Full Central Park Walking Tour"!
