Nice!!

My daughter and I went on the Central Park Bike Tour on 3/31/09. We both had a great time! The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and you really do get to see a lot. The weather was beautiful and our tour guide, Max, was awesome! He was friendly and knowledgable. If it's possible to have a really mellow and relaxing day in NYC - - then this is your best bet! I'd definitely recommend!

Fun and Educational
by TreeHare24
My daughter and I took a tour with central park bike tours and had a blast. Laughed the whole time. My daughter didn't want to go but I did, so we went. Later on we went to a great pizza place that our guide, Ari recommended. My daughter thanked me for the tour and said we should go again with Mom. Don't skip central park on your trip to New York. Request Ari!
Pros: Look, Learn, and Laugh
Cons: The tour was only 2 hours

Big Apple has unique seed!
by chickenmonkey
Did I die and go to heaven? I took one of these tours and my guide was a charming young man named Ari. He showed us all that the park had to offer, and filled it with comedic tidbits of knowledge. Well, i could hardly keep up because i was laughing so hard. I loved that i could finally see locations in my favorite movies, and the great buildings NYC is built on. This man gets top marks in my book.
Pros: Witty, knowledgable
Cons: engaged already

Best entertainment for a tour!
by LaSue
I had a really good time on this bike tour when I was in NYC. You really learn a lot of stuff that a lot of my New York friends did not even know about Central Park. The location is really convenient. If your going to bike on your own, why not just do a tour instead for a few extra bucks?
Friendly and supportive staff.
Pros: great bikes, lots of fun, very informative

Broken bike, no refund! Save your money
by MAatHome
The brakes on my bike gripped up shortly into our 6.5 mile tour on July 17, 2009. Our guide did his best, but without tools was unable to get the brakes to release. Imaging riding with the brakes continuously on! Everyone else had to wait for me over and over. I wore out, and my friend traded bikes with me. She wore out, too, and wound up walking back to the store while our guide walked my broken bike. They company would not refund my money although they didn't deny their equipment was defective. Save your money and go with one of the other bike tour companies on Central Park -- there are lots.

The best part of my trip to NYC
by ArtV22
Me and my family came to NYC last summer. My wife suggested a bike tour. I had never done one before so I did my research. I found Central Park Bike Tours on google. They had an easy website to remember too. Centralparkbiketoursdotcom. Me, my wife and our young son took the movie scenes tour with a guide named Ari. He was hysterical. It was fun and educational. I never write reviews but I want other families to enjoy themselves as much as we did. I'll be back next summer with my parents.
Pros: Friendly tour guide, best movie scenes tour ever!
Cons: none

Best Way to Explore Central Park and Its Grand History
by Rockstar456
My wife and I are from the UK. We had such a charming tour guide named, James who is one of the original tour guides of the park. Don't be fooled by the other cheap competition. This is the oldest Central Park Bike Tour and the best. As well we went with a diverse group of people from all over world Europe, Australia..etc. We took the Art and Architecture Tour..but I will be back for the movie scenes next summer...cheers!
Pros: Best Central Park Tour
Cons: No complaints here!
