I took a walking tour of Central Park, led by guide Jeremy Wilcox. This tour exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot about the park’s history and creation, this place is packed with history. It is more than just a park! The guide showed us all the parts I wanted to see, including some stuff I didn’t know about, and answered all of our questions (and I had a lot!). The guide’s style was very personal. Would definitely take a different tour with Wilcox the next time I’m in the city. Recommended.
