USA · CENTRAL PARK TOURS
The park is two and a half miles long and free to walk, so what you are buying is a route and a pair of wheels. These 15 compare pedicabs, bikes and guided walks on price, distance covered and what happens if it rains.
Ride through Central Park with a private English-speaking guide such as AJ, Sam, Peter, or Ricky. Your pedicab covers far more ground than a walking tour, stopping at Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, Strawberry Fields, Alice in Wonderland, and famous film locations.
“We have been guided by Ricky. Ricky knows his stuff. He is very knowledgeable and funny. Thank you Ricky!”
Ride through Central Park in a private pedicab with guides such as Leo, Johnny, Max, and MJ. Choose a one to three-hour route, stop for photos at Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, Strawberry Fields, and Belvedere Castle, and stay warm under a blanket in winter.
“We hired two pedicabs for four people. Johnny and Amir worked seamlessly together to keep our rides together so we all could hear the running commentary. Johnny was very fun and funny in his commentary, as well as VERY informative. We all loved seeing Central Park this way. Due to time, we only did a 1-hour tour but saw a lot! I would recommend a 2-hour tour to see more of the sites especially given how fun the drivers are! Go for it!”
Pick up a Cannondale, Specialized, hybrid, comfort bike, tandem, mountain bike, or e-bike at 56 W 56th St. Staff provide a map and route tips, then you set your own pace through Central Park or Manhattan. Choose one hour to 24 hours, with helmets, locks, and bike bags included.
