Private NYC Bike Tour of Central Park
New York City’s “backyard” is worth exploring when you’re in the Big Apple, but there’s a lot of ground to cover during a Central Park Tour. As the fifth largest park in the city, it covers an impressive 843 acres and has much to offer. If you don’t feel like walking we have a great alternative! How about pedaling instead, courtesy of our Private NYC Bike Tour of Central Park?
On this scenic two-hour adventure through bike-friendly Central Park, your expert, licensed tour guide will ride alongside you as they relate the history of New York City, told in terms of the development of the city and its parks. They’ll also share little-known, interesting facts about the park – which just so happens to be the first landscaped public park in the United States.
From the familiar Bethesda Fountain – it has appeared in numerous movies and tv shows, to the regal Belvedere Castle with its fabulous views, from the Central Park Zoo – home to many different species of animals to Sheep Meadow – once home to, well, sheep – you’ll see all this and more while making your way around the park on this private guided bike tour.
