Doing what: Central Park Movie Sites Walking Tour

Not expensive and the guide was very informative with a sweet personality. I love watching shows and movies now and think, 'oh yeah... I remember her talking about this.' Not only about movies but Central Park history as well.

Incredible. Highly recommend. Not only a horse and carriage ride but also a little bit of a tour as well. Our driver was a 'New Yorker' with lots of enthusiasm, energy and we had a great time. Well work it, would do it again.
