Have your moment in the green heart of New York City

See NYC's most iconic park in the most efficient way possible - by bike! This guided day tour is your special sightseeing experience taking you to all the noteworthy spots in this gorgeous landmark which, at a total of 843 acres, is larger than the country of Monaco! You'll enjoy the Literary Walk, Bethesda Fountain and Terrace, Sheep Meadow, the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, and the John Lennon Memorial in Strawberry Fields. Whether you're here for its iconic sculptures, moving memorials, or restorative nature, this family-friendly tour has plenty to offer, along with perfect photo opportunities and the chance to visit the settings of hundreds of famous movies and TV shows. Bike rental is an added benefit.

Your bicycle tour begins with a leisurely ride along the Literary Walk beneath an atmospheric canopy of American Elm trees. So-named for the myriad statues of notable writers, the Literary Walk will gather you into the green heart of New York City, rejuvenating and possibly even inspiring those of a writerly mind. Lap up the serene lakeside view from the Bethesda Fountain and Terrace, where rowboats send imperceptible ripples towards you on the bank.

As you make a stop in Sheep Meadow, you'll be able to catch captivating glimpses of the New York skyline through the bountiful canopy. Your day tour continues on to the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, a resplendent reservoir where reflections of NYC's stunning skyscrapers ripple over the serene surface. The final stop on your bike tour will be the John Lennon Memorial in Strawberry Fields, featuring the poignant Imagine Mosaic, laid in memory of the legendary Beatle, songwriter and peace activist who embraced this city as his spiritual home.

This guided bicycle tour is your opportunity to enjoy everything that sublime Central Park has to offer. Pedal to every perk of the park and store up memories to treasure of NYC's iconic natural landmark!

  A great way to explore Central Park
  
  · Highlights of Central Park New York Bike Tour
  
  Central Park is HUGE so exploring it on bike makes perfect sense. After grabbing our bikes, we made our way the two blocks to Central Park and began our cycle.
  Our tour guide, Dan, was amazing, and made the tour that much better. The group was made up of 1 Irish, 2 English, and 2 Dutch and Dan found a way to bring all his facts back to our countries of origin. For example, when he gave us some facts about 5th Avenue as a shopping destination, he compared it to Grafton Street in Dublin, Bond Street in London, and I can't remember for Holland but I thought he went above and beyond. Dan played music along the way (yes, he takes requests) and made the tour so much fun. Not only did we get to see all the cool parts of the park, Dan is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to New York and told lots of great stories along the way.
  I highly recommend this tour. My only advice - if you're doing it in March like I did, bring extra warm gloves!

  Loops in the Park!
  
  · Highlights of Central Park New York Bike Tour
  
  Listen to the music, the regulars...the history. Biking the 6+ mile loop through Central Park is filled with history. I used to live there years ago but took a tour with friends on a work trip and was amazed at what I didn't know was around me. Check it out...way cool.
