3.NYC Central Park guided Pedicab Tour – 1 hour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 145 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $44

You’ll ride in a private pedicab through Central Park with an English-speaking guide, stopping at Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, Strawberry Fields, the Dakota, and more. Ali is one guide praised for his humor and park history. The hour moves quickly, but it covers far more ground than a walk.

“I always use viator and this tour was great. The guide was very nice and funny , took pictures of us, we had enough time during our stops (at least 4 to take pics that I remember at the most popular spots). Other tours charge much more so don’t forget to tip! Especially during winter (they provide a blanket). Would recommend you give this a try.”
