  2. You know, I love the tip of positive customer reviews. That’s so important.. real people offer real experiences and do offer great advice! Online booking is so convenient and it still surprises me how many tour companies that do not offer online booking.

    • They’re definitely missing out – online booking systems have completely changed the way the tourism industry works!

  3. I LOVE Central Park. I’ve walked and biked it before but have never done an official tour. I’m hoping to go back again but with my hubby this time. I’m sure he’ll enjoy a Central Park Tour. ?

    • The tours are always fabulous because you learn so much of the history of the area from the guides. And it’s great fun to have a local show you around for a little while!

  4. I never knew you could take a tour of Central Park. Now, I want to go – and will use your great tips!

    • Glad you enjoyed the post Kelly, and that we could introduce you to the park tours! Have a great time!

  5. I never considered going on a tour of Central Park since, after all, it’s just a park. But it’s huge and having a guide pointing out all the interesting things and history would be interesting.

    • Yes, the park is huge! You can absolutely walk and bike around yourself, but there is so much amazing history and culture throughout the park that it’s great to have a local guide to show you around :)
