Wonderful snowy tour of Central Park
Published on Jan, 2025
The tour was everything we wanted and more! Buddy the elf knew so much about the park and made sure that he found out what we liked so as the tour went on we got to see a lot more things than we expected! We love gossip girl and we saw so many sights we didn’t expect so that was a lovely bonus. We were warm and cosy, well looked after and had the best last morning in New York, I’m not sure if the snow was included but it made it even more magical to go around Central Park and the upper west side. For anyone who wants to fit in a lot in a short space of time we would highly recommend.
A Star-Studded Tour of Central Park!
Published on Dec, 2024
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide was super friendly and had so much knowledge about Central Park, its history, and all the movie scenes filmed there. It felt like walking into the movies as we visited locations from classics like Home Alone 2 and When Harry Met Sally. The best part was learning about celebrity homes around the park—we even stopped by where some of my favorite stars live! The guide was great at answering questions and kept the tour fun and engaging the whole time.
