What people are saying about Bethesda Terrace, NYC

It was great! Alex was friendly, funny and very informative. The pictures he took of us were fantastic as well! It is a little pricey and the 2-hour tour only covers the south side of Central Park, so we didn’t get to ride through the whole thing. I had no idea Central Park was THAT big, but I think it’s worth it if you’re taking a quick weekend trip and you’re on a time crunch like I was. We would not have seen a quarter of what we did if we had been walking.

Such an amazing way to see so much of Central Park! This was one of the highlights of the trip according to my teenage son. We made lots of stops to look at the different areas. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. A great experience, thank you!

GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE CONSIDERING YOU PAY SO MUCH MORE AT THE PARK IF YOU WAIT TO RESERVE

Really helpful and informative guide and cute horse! Had a lovely time...

Great tour of the park with a lovely, friendly guide.
