About this activity

Explore Central Park on a small-group guided bike tour suitable for all ages, riding a comfortable Dutch-style bike or e-bike upgrade. Child seats are available for younger riders. Your ride starts at Columbus Circle before heading into the park past Sheep Meadow and the Literary Walk. Stop at Bethesda Fountain and nearby Conservatory Water, home to the Alice in Wonderland statue, then ride past Cleopatra's Needle, the oldest man-made object in the park. Continue through the peaceful North Woods and along the Reservoir, where the Manhattan skyline reflects on the water, before reaching the hidden Shakespeare Garden and Belvedere Castle for panoramic views. The tour ends at Strawberry Fields, the memorial dedicated to John Lennon. Your guide shares stories about the park's history and its many appearances in films and TV shows, including Friends and Sex and the City. With a maximum of 15 travellers, this is a personal, relaxed way to discover Central Park by bike.
