Gorgeous day in the park
Noah was great, very knowledgeable! The weather was perfect!
Worth it!
Our tour of Central Park was one of the highlights of our trip to New York City. The park itself is absolutely beautiful, and exploring its iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and rich history made for an unforgettable experience. From the scenic pathways to the breathtaking views, every stop along the way offered something unique and memorable. The tour was well-paced, informative, and gave us a much deeper appreciation for one of the world's most famous urban parks. What truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, Noah. His knowledge of Central Park and New York City was impressive, but even more importantly, his enthusiasm and personality made the tour engaging and fun from start to finish. Noah was friendly, approachable, and always happy to answer questions, making everyone feel welcome and included. His passion for sharing the park's stories and history brought each location to life. We couldn't have asked for a better guide, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York.
We had THE BEST time on...
We had THE BEST time on the Home Alone 2 and Elf Locations Tour in Central Park with Max and MJ. There were 6 of us, 2 adults and 4 children, including an infant. The weather wasn't great, but they made us very comfortable, with warm blankets and rain covers. Despite the weather, we had such a wonderful and memorable time. All of the locations we were taken to were absolutely beautiful. It was so relaxing, and we enjoyed the scenery and all the special locations we were shown. Max's knowledge of the history of the area was extremely impressive and they both knew a lot about all of the scenes from the movies. Both Max and MJ were very patient with the kids and made it extra fun for them which was very kind. The kids are still talking about them! We would 100% recommend this tour and hope to get the opportunity to ride with Max and MJ again.
Fun tour to see all of Central Park
Max was our guide and he showed us all around the park and stopped in several spots for pictures or short walks. He had a lot of fun facts and knew so many neat park facts. Short but fun way to see the park.
Fun and Festive Holiday Tour in Central Park
I joined the Home Alone 2 and Elf Locations Tour in Central Park, and it was a really enjoyable experience. The guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, sharing fun behind-the-scenes stories about the filming locations of both movies. It was exciting to see the spots from the films in real life — from iconic street corners to cozy corners in the park. The tour was well-paced, not too rushed, and offered plenty of opportunities for photos. I especially loved the festive atmosphere and how it really brought the holiday spirit to life. Walking through Central Park while learning these fun movie facts made the experience feel unique and memorable. Whether you’re a fan of Home Alone 2, Elf, or just enjoy holiday-themed tours, this trip is worth it. A fun, family-friendly way to explore Central Park with a bit of movie magic sprinkled in!
