About

  • My full and personal attention for 2 1/2 hours. I am eager to share my knowledge of one of the world's greatest urban parks. And of course, my own photographic skills to guide you in capturing better images of Central Park.

  • Parties larger than 8 please contact me

  • Each tour will start with a 15 minute meet time.

What to Bring

  • Have extra cash if you desire a refreshment break inside the park. I recommend this for the half day tour and an option park lunch for the full day tour at either of the park's three cafe/restaurants. Also for longer tours, extra cash is useful if we decide to break up the trek with a 10 -15 minutes pedicab ride ( $2 per minute ) that will quickly change our location inside the 842 acre park. We will go over this before the tour begins.

  • For photo tours make sure you bring one or more fully charged batteries and enough storage for 100 or more photos.

  • Wear walking shoes and dress according to the weather — The 2 1/2 tours will cover at least 1 mile. Half day tour - 2miles. Full day - ....
