Reviews

Fun cycle around iconic park

5angharads, 11-11-2022

I really enjoyed cycling around Central Park.
Our guide Dan was very entertaining and enthusiastic, I was impressed by his memory and how he tailored things to the group.
The bikes were good quality, comfortable and easy to ride. We did very little cycling on proper roads, it was mostly dedicated cycle paths in the park.
Recommended!

Thank you Dan for the great experience!

We did the tour with the New York pass and it was really amazing. Dan told us a lot of interesting stories, showed us a lot of beautiful places and made the experience even better with the Bruce Springsteen music.

Fantastic Tour

geishagisells, 01-11-2022

What a lovely Tour!! it was interesting a very unique experience riding in Central Park and learning about it. We took the 4pm tour and got to see some of the beautiful colors of the sunset and the autumn. The bikes were great and they give you protection for the ride. Thanks to Isaac, our tour guide who answered all my questions. I will definitely do this again.

Casual ride, no guide

Tina M, 23-10-2022

So, we missed our exit off the subway and hoofed it but was late for the tour. They kindly still gave us the rental option and we took it. Upgraded myself to an e-bike (highly recommend that) and we rode off to tour ourselves. Bikes were in excellent condition especially for a cyclist family. Helmets, locks, and bikes. So much fun for teenagers too!

Nice Ride on a Beautiful Fall Day

Meg W, 06-11-2022

We thoroughly enjoyed the bike tour of Central Park. We saw several areas we had not seen before and got a historical perspective.

The pleasant guide was new and had a distinctive accent which made understanding him sometimes difficult. There were bikers who were relatively inexperienced and had a hard time keeping up. And our group was too large (14). We thought the pace was fine. It was a little scary riding through traffic the four blocks from the store to the park. (Mostly scary on the return.) Yes, we get that this was in NYC.
