We enjoyed touring Central Park with a guide to point out movie sites, it was a warm day and 2 miles of walking, but we had a great time.

My wife and myself were both just thrilled with this tour! We have both been to Central Park many times before, but never on any kind of a tour. I'm a dyed in the wool movie buff. Despite what we thought was our familiarity with the south end of the Park, and our previous readings of a number of texts about the Park, our tour guide let us in on a lot of lively and interesting facts and flavor we never had before. Her knowledge of the relevant movie lore was phenomenal! I thought we couldn't possibly hear her over the din in the Park including the unbelievably loud music going on in one area. But, not to worry; her stage experience resulted in excellent delivery that reached all of us. Further, we were taken with her positive, enthusiastic manner about the subject matter, about both the Park and movies. It really made all the difference! She was so quick, agile, and quick in responding to questions, invited or otherwise. I thought I knew a lot about movies, but I know a lot more now. This was a major highlight of our week-long visit in New York City.

We loved the tour of the park, it was a safe and entertaining way to tour it! I would however say that you should point out that people taking the tour should be able to keep up with a brisk pace. Many people, including my parents, found it hard to keep up with the guide, and most of the time missed what movie had been filmed in that area! I have recommended this tour already.

Wasn't sure what to expect. The tour is about 2 hours which is really all that's needed for a walking tour of Central Park, especially when the weather is good. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about Central Park itself which is really why one books this tour. Whatever nostalgia thrown in about which movie was filmed where is extra. Nonetheless this is definitely worth doing.

A long walk but worth every step. Our mistake was walking for 3 hours prior to walking the 2 hour tour!

This was an interesting and informative tour. The guide was great and very knowledgeable about the movie sites and the history of the park locations.
