My tour of Central Park will guide guests through the brilliance of the crown jewel of Manhattan, Central Park. The surrounding vista has changed, as a city does, but many timeless views remain the same. From statues to skating rinks, from bridges to boathouses, I will show you movie settings and more.

About Tour Guide Dave G.

I am a New York City tour guide and have been doing bus tours for 14 years and walking tours for eight.

I can easily do a standard tour on, say, Central Park, Greenwich Village, or the World Trade Center but I offer a general tour with many popular places in New York. I also have my own niche tour of "Titanic Sites in New York City".

I like tour-guiding in the city because I am also a tourist and I like to feel the vicarious thrill of visitors.

Being a tour-guide AND a tourist, I have traveled to Nova Scotia, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Anchorage, Cleveland, Niagara Falls, Washington DC, London, Liverpool, Belfast, Bangkok, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Nara, Shizuoka, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, Mt. Kosaya, Mt. Fuji and many other places.
