The tour ends in Central Park
More than any single landmark, Central Park lies at the physical and spiritual heart of New York. Conceived as the green lungs for a rapidly urbanizing metropolis in the 19th century, it has evolved into America's seminal landscape.
This three-hour Central Park tour looks in depth at its design and history, from the competition that spawned it on the eve of civil war to innovative conservation movement that saved it in the 1990s.
Available in private and small group (max 6 people) tour options, choose what suits you best and discover this masterpiece in the heart of New York.
To meet your tour guide (who is a professional English-speaking tour guide), make your way to the front of the Arsenal, located at 830 5th Avenue.
During the course of your walk learn about the design theories behind the park, the juxtaposition of the "beautiful" and the "picturesque," and the social function of the park through history. Maintenance of this space and its designers’ ideals has proved a constant and costly battle, the success of which is measured by the Park's impeccable condition and its constant evolution as an urban oasis.
This walk will visit some of the Park's best known spaces and monuments as well as some of its lesser known gems, taking in a century and a half of New York and American history in the process.
