Central Park Tour

Central Park, located in the very heart of Manhattan island, amidst prime real estate, is the true gem of the Big Apple crown.  Since its creation in 1879 it became intricately woven into NYC life and experience as a whole—you can’t say you have truly been to New York city without it!  This is where celebrities and New Yorkers alike unite while strolling through countless winding paths or jogging and biking, enjoying a concert or a quiet picnic with friends and family; there’s opera and even Shakespeare in the park!  And this is where one of the worlds most famous marathons has its finishing line—the NYC Marathon!

Inside Central Park

With over 26,000 trees, an iconic ice-skating rink, gables and ravines, playgrounds and playfields and many more, visitors of the past 150 years have been exploring its natural beauty and manmade elements and taking a little ‘peace’ of serenity in the middle of an urban jungle.
