Overview

Central Park is the most famous urban park in the world, and this tour will help you discover why. From the sweeping Central Park Mall to the Bow Bridge to Strawberry Fields to the gorgeous Bethesda Terrace, and much more, your guide will make sure you get to see all of the highlights of this expansive park. Along the way, you'll learn the fascinating history of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's urban masterpiece.

Central Park has been called “one of the greatest works of art in America”. Come see why!

Your walking tour will start at Manhattan's Grand Army Plaza and continue on through the park. Your guide will show you all the highlights of the park at a leisurely pace, while providing historic photos for reference. This tour takes place year round, as each season is a different experience. The best thing about this park is that every month brings changes and new discoveries.

A small-group tour also provides a more personal experience.
