Pedicab driver never texted us prior to picking us up as promised. We went ahead and went to the meeting point. Waited there more than 30 mins during that time, I continued make several calls, left voicemails and no one ever answered on that immediate response line nor call me back!

What a great experience. Even in the pouring rain, our tour guide entertained us and kept my three kids laughing the entire time. He was very informative and entertained us with tons of fun pop culture facts about Central Park and the surrounding buildings. Would definitely recommend to any family interested in spending a fun hour learning about Central Park and enjoying a ride.
So much fun! Was able to see a lot more of Central Park this way and the drivers were fun and energetic.
Our pedicab tour of Central Park with Graziano was absolutely fantastic! He made us feel at ease and stopped at all the spots we wanted to see in the park. He used our phone to take fantastic photos of our family along the way, and allowed us time to get out of the pedicab and explore. When we texted him that we were at the Central Park carousel he offered to pick us up there instead of the typical meeting point to save us a walk. We really appreciated this as we were in New York during a heat wave. It was fabulous to sit back, rest our feet, and relax and feel the breeze while seeing the sights. Both our kids (ages 9 & 12) and my husband and I agree that the pedicab tour was the highlight of our day.
Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable and made the entire ride quite interesting. I particularly liked his flipbook of pictures and use of music on the tour to accentuate the highlighted areas of the tour. Very creative. Recommend 100%
Moussa was very knowledgeable, nice, and willing to answer questions regarding anything we asked about. We stopped at a few different spots for picture opportunities and to go look a little closer. This was our first tour at Central Park, and we would definitely do it again. The Pedicab was clean and roomy, cover was nice for the super sunny areas.
Our guides name is Lee. He was AMAZING!! Hopefully you get to meet Rocky on your tour with him. Great for history buffs and was packed with information/laughs. He was so accommodating!!!
Our tour was for 2 hours and our guide, Zaza, was really great. He gave us time to walk around and explore/sightsee and take photos. He took some fabulous pictures of us, too. We really had a wonderful time and the fall crisp weather was beautiful!! Highly recommend!!
Loved our tour guide, Lee Buckman. He had a wealth of knowledge on the history of Central Park and where some movies were shot at various locations. We really appreciated his quick witted humor and friendly, outgoing personality! I highly recommend this tour and I would request Lee if you can!
I enjoyed stopping and being able to get out and take memorable pictures. Moussa our tour guide was fabulous! I definitely recommend Moussa for your pedi tour guide 😊
We did the 2 hour Pedicab tour with Moussa. He was knowledgeable, friendly and showed us a great time! We were able to see so much of Central Park in a short time. Moussa brought us to locations for beautiful views and photo ops. I will definitely be doing this again next time I am in NYC.
My parents and I took a one hour pedi-cab ride through Central Park. Our guide was Moussa and he was absolutely terrific! He has the greatest personality and made the trip fun,as well as informative. I highly recommend this experience. My parents are older and it was a wonderful way for them to experience the park. Thanks again to Moussa for the wonderful time!
We had an awesome time on our tour. Chad was amazing with pointing out things myself and niece would love. The entire experience from booking through tour was a great end to our NYC trip. Definitely recommend!!
Took the 2 hour tour of Central Park. Ibrahim was excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and allowed time for pictures and visiting areas of park. Highly recommend this activity.
Very accommodating, they picked us up on a bike and rode us wherever we wanted- and took great pics!
What an amazing experience all around! Setting up our tour was super easy! Communication was incredibly prompt and super convenient. Our guide, Kenan, was an absolute gem. He was so friendly and made the whole ride a joy. Everyone was very accommodating and this is definitely something I'd recommend! A+
Kenan was our tour guide and he was amazing! He was very detailed in information and patient with taking photos! He made the experience very enjoyable and relaxing!! I would definitely book again.
If you’re looking for a great way to see Central Park (and socially distance yourself) this is the way to do it! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The drivers are all fantastic and do their best to personalize your visit. We have used this company multiple time and always plan a visit to Central Park! They will even help you with celebrations! (We had a cake for my son’s birthday one year and cupcakes for my girlfriends and I as we celebrated turning 50). Give them a try! You won’t be disappointed!
Excellent and knowledgeable guide who kept us entertained throughout the 60 minute tour pointing out all the places where the various films had been filmed and where the famous people lived.
This was my first time in NYC and Kemal made it! He had a great personality and very helpful. He is probably the nicest person I met in NYC. He said Hi to all the other drivers and overall made it a great experience. Kemal is also takes great Photos! I took these 3 photos but here are some places he took us. Thank you!
My daughter & I went on this tour early on a cold morning & our tour guide Kenan ensured we were warm & gave us blankets. He was very informative and friendly & made the experience very enjoyable. I definitely recommend this tour!
We had a fabulous carriage ride with John. He had tons of information about the city/park. We would definitely do it again!
We wanted to see the highlights of the park but only had a short time to do it so my daughter and I booked a two hour Central Park pedicab tour. Unfortunately, it rained most of the trip but our guide Marco made sure we stayed warm and dry! We covered much of the park and Marco was very knowledgeable. He also knew the spots for the best photos and was happy to take them for us. The park was closed for an event but he made sure we got the full experience. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great time!
My wife and I had a great 2-hour Central Park tour with Marco. Marco knew so much about the park and areas around it—I’m talking dozens of obscure and mainstream movie, music, and sports references. He had solid dad jokes and carried on great conversations. This guy is the best!
Kemel was a fantastic tour guide for our Pedicab ride. He really looked after us; it started to rain but he was equipped with umbrellas, rain shield and blankets for our comfort. Nothing was too much trouble. So entertaining too, made me & my two teenagers laugh so much. He even accompanied stretches of our ride with music; he had Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ & Frank Sinatra (at our request!) blasting through a speaker he had hooked up. We had a great time. Kemel was very knowledgeable of all the spots we saw, and it was great way of seeing the park in a short space of time. What an excellent photographer too! He took some great panoramic shots and had us posing with expertise. The Pedicab comfortably accommodated 3 of us (grown woman, a 6’2” 18 year old man & a 15 year old girl). I had booked via a groupon offer whilst still in England & emailed to ask if they could extend the offer to accommodate 3 of us. Very flexible & good value given some of the competitors. There was however, a mix up with the timing of the booking on the day but a few emails later, it was sorted. I initially got concerned as there was no office, we were just waiting outside at a pre-confirmed spot. Kemal’s excellent customer service soon made us forget that little mix up though. Highly recommend!
Moussa was the guide for our 2-hour pedicab tour and to say he was excellent is an understatement! He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was an unexpected, but very appreciated surprise! Not only did he know the history of the park, but also knew a great deal about other little known facts about happenings in and around the park. It was an amazing trip and a bucket list item for me! Thanks again for a great trip!
Our tour guide was Zaza, he was extremely nice and informative. We had a great experience and would highly recommend. There was a 50 dollar service fee in the fine print we were jot aware of until we scheduled our ride but overall would still reccomend. Central park is big and we had a young baby. She loved the rides even had a nice nap with "AC on". Much cooler and more pleasant than spending 5+ hours walking to each sight.
We booked the two hour tour through Central Park and we were excited to see all the attractions from the convenience of a pedicab since it was 97 degrees on this day. We didn't realize we’d be making stops to get out, so we minimized our time at each of the sites due to the unbearable heat. The stops were beautiful though- the lake, the sailboats, Bethesda fountain...it was all gorgeous. After only an hour our driver James said the tour was over because we’d hit all the stops even though it hadn’t been the full two hours. We were pretty disappointed. BUT the company manager texted us and asked us about the experience. We told him what happened and he insisted on making sure we had the best experience! The next day he hooked us up with another driver who gave us an even better tour of the park! The second driver, ZaZa, was awesome! He even refused the tip when we tried to give him a little extra for his service. All in all the tour, the park, and the overall service were great. Just be aware that they require a 20% gratuity when you’re budgeting your money.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Central Park with James. He was friendly and helpful. His tour focused on movies that were filmed in Central Park and the celebrities that lived around Central Park. Although very entertaining, I was hoping for a little more of a historical perspective as well.
Baris was our tour guide at Central Park. Excellent customer service and so knowledgeable, too!!! Highly recommend touring with Eco Central Park Tours.
Great experience for our family! John was a great guide and very informative. He sent detailed instructions on when/where to meet. Highly recommend.
Terrific tour by our guide, John, who was extremely knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend taking a carriage ride through the park!
My daughters are huge GG fans and wanted to do this tour. I decided to tag along even though i have not seen an episode. They loved the tour as did I. We saw a lot of Central Park and our tour guide James was knowledge and accommodating. It was a very relaxing way to see the sights. I would highly recommend.
We took the pedicab with Deniz on a very cold, windy night in November. Deniz made sure we were wrapped up in a warm blanket whenever we were in the cab. Deniz was very funny, friendly and knowledgeable. We made several stops (although brief as it was COLD!). There were many photo ops and Deniz made sure to capture them for us. We were going to Lincoln Center for a show and Deniz went out of his way to drop us there, even suggesting a restaurant or two for our pre-show dinner. Thank you Eco Central Park and especially Deniz for an enjoyable tour of Central Park.
My husband and I bought a Groupon for the pedicab tour through Central Park. We had a great time learning about the different spots in the park and movie scenes. Our guide, Deniz, was knowledgeable, kind and funny. We had a wonderful time 😊
Zaza was our guide. He was a very good guide. He has a lot of knowledge on different movies and movie stars that have filmed in or around the park. He was always happy to take our picture and we never felt rushed at any of the stops. The day was cooler than it had. He had a nice red and black robe for our laps. It also helped us to find him when we came back from taking photos of a site. There had been a little trouble with my confirmation and was told would need to take a later tour. Then just a few moments later Zaza showed up and off we went and were able to stay on our schedule. Would take this tour again, as long as we got Zaza. The weather was sunny with a slight breeze.
Kaya was our tour guide ---and he was the best!! Kaya was well versed on sites in Central Park. He pointed out several places we didn't even know were there! Also, Kaya was happy to stop for us to take photos and we even stopped for an ice cream---he didn't mind. We stayed within our time limit! Kaya was friendly and fun---there is no better guide! Thank you Kaya for a tour we will never forget!
Our guide for the tour of Central Park was Deniz. He was very knowledgeable and shared fun facts about the parks history and the buildings that surround the park as well. He took us to the sites that are most visited by people and we were able to tour the areas at our own pace. Wish I had booked it for more time.
Had a fabulous time enjoying the sights of Central Park while our friendly guide rode us around and pointed out noteworthy details about the park. The tour was about an hour long. We saw the southern half of Central Park including the fountain, boathouse, and more. We were able to get out and snap pictures of the area and then be on our merry way. Central Park no longer allows car travel so pedicabs are the safest, quickest and easiest way to see so much more than on foot. Highly recommend this tour.
Our pedicab tour was absolutely fabulous!! Our drivers Deniz and Zaza were hilarious and incredible! They told us all about the different sites and took pictures of our whole group at a bunch of different locations. We were so happy we booked the experience!
We took the VIP pedicab tours. It was so much fun. Our tour guide, Deniz was fantastic. He was super knowledgeable and helpful. I went with my mom and brother. Three adults- two of which are bigger size couldn't comfortably fit, so my brother rode a bicycle beside us. Deniz was great about making sure he could hear and was doing ok. We had so much fun and would recommend this a must-do!
We had a fun and informative tour of Central Park for 2 hours while exploring Manhattan. Our pedi cab driver Deniz was patient, helpful, kind, and an excellent driver. He took us around the entire park and took some great pictures to add to our memories. I would travel with Deniz again and recommend this and his company for your pedicab ventures. We booked through Groupon, communicated through phone to set up the reservation, and then communicated directly with Deniz through text message. Thank you!
Marco was a wonderful tour guide and we had an amazing day at Central Park. We loved it & Marco was so great with my nephews & had so much information!
I grouponed last minute a pedicab tour of Central Park. Went to the meeting site and called them not realizing I need to make a reservation. They worked us in and had a driver there within 15 minutes. Kept in excellent contact the entire tome texting me and updating me. Our driver was salef and he was awesome ! Great way to see Central Park! An hour long tour pointing out all the must see spots and dropping you off to take pictures. Highly recommend!
Marco was our tour guide and he was fantastic. Very friendly and kept us informed along the way. It was a wonderful way of seeing and learning about Central Park. We would not have seen so much on foot alone. Thankyou!
Though we are local resident, for a change, I and my wife took the Eco Central Park Pedicab tour on Saturday 6/16/2018. Our guide was Graziano. It was an awesome experience with perfect summer weather, and very knowledgeable Graziano. This one hour tour was one of the best experience we had in Manhattan. Strongly recommended.
We were lucky to have such amazing weather, and taking a tour through Central Park was awesome. Got to see all the highlights, as well as taking time to stop and walk closer to some attractions in the park.
Great tour 2 hrs whole park covered. Very knowledgeable Marco, told us various related stories, how every section of part was built and named. Very interesting. Marco also took our photos at strategic points. Loved the tour, will go back and will take the tour again. Highly recommend. It is not possible to cover 6-7 miles of park in short duration on your own and also gain all the relevant information. Must take this tour. Don't listen to locals. I had one local who told me that I got a bad deal. She told me that I can go to any pedicab and bargain them to give whole circle for $60 and pay $20 tip. She said they will be happy. But you see, pedicabs have rates $3 - $5/min. If that is expected, then come at least half way and don't bargain so much. Let them make money too. We refused to bargain and enjoyed the tour.
This was our very first trip to New York City and we wanted to see Central Park. Our tour guide was Marco. He made our day one to remember by the information he provided about the park, New York, it’s people and so much more. He was witty, funny and the absolute best tour guide we’ve ever had in all of our vacations spanning 45 years. Thank you Marco and the entire staff for doing such a fantastic job. We plan to tell all of our friends about what you offer and the passion you demonstrate in the love for what you do.
Our guide Kamal was soooo fun! He had us laughing from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable about the area and his comments were hysterical. There were 3 of us and we all had a great time. The pedicab tour is a super enjoyable way to see Central Park. When you book, I highly recommend asking for Kamal as your driver. He's the best!
