Bike and Roll..... Central Park tour

9 days in NYC may seem like ALOT of time.....but it's really not!  It goes by so quickly!!!!!!  We wanted to explore Central Park - but we were running out of time!!!!!!!  We decided a great way to cover ground would be to take a bicycle tour!!!!!


We called and made a reservation with Bike and Roll and and made our way to Central Park for our tour!  After we got our bikes and gear we were off in no time!  This really was a great way to see the park.  Our tour guide shared some great history on the park and showed us some really great sites.  The pace was good and we got to stop along the way and check out different areas of the park.  The guide stayed with the bikes so we could explore a little bit and was also great about taking photos for us.

A few of our stops on this tour: Bethesda Terrace and the gorgeous fountain, Belvedere Castle, Turtle Pond, Cleopatras Needle, Shakespeare Garden and Strawberry Fields.


Bike and Roll offers several guided tours in the city and also has hourly rentals so you can move at your own pace and decide your own routes.  It really was a good time and I would recommend this tour to anyone!  I am sure their other tours are just as good!
