What a gorgeous day it was in Central Park! Our guide was articulate, easy to hear, delightfully friendly, and knowledgeable about the subject. We learned much and felt that we had a real New York experience!

Brilliant tour - time went so quickly and it didn't seem anything like 2 hrs. Plenty of stops on route. Our guide was terrific and very knowledgeable. Now I'm keen to watch all the films mentioned so I can say 'I've been there'!

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.

This was an excellent tour, and our tour guide was brilliant. Got a bit tiring at the end as it was a walking tour, but I didn't mind. Also, learnt about Central Park and saw a lot of it, so we didn't have to go back again.

Really enjoyed this tour as we got to see a decent bit of the park, our guide was pretty good with local knowledge as well, only downside was the meeting place wasn't clear enough on the instructions.

Believe it or not, one could get lost in Central Park. That is why my wife and I decided to do this tour. We wanted to see the major parts of the park, and of those, what hasn't been in a film? So we took the tour and loved it! It started out a bit rainy, but it soon stopped and was dry for the 2 hours we walked. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept a reasonable pace for all. My wife does not do hills too well walking, but the guide was considerate and waited for us to catch up a couple of times.

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.

Tour took much longer than expected and was not that interesting. I had not even heard of most of the films and actors talked about. Also, trying to book and then confirm 24 hours ahead was an awful experience. I was left holding forever. Your booking system via the phone is a nightmare of being put on hold forever.
