Beautiful Central Park
Joined 2021
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.

Meeting Point
Grand Army Plaza
- We will meet at the equestrian statue of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman where Fifth Avenue and 59th st. converge at the foot of the Plaza.
Gapstow Bridge, the Pond.
This stunning bridge is the vantage point for a classic New York scene and also a great photo op of your party, which I'll be happy to take.
The Mall
This lush area is the largest collection of American Elms in the world. The magnificent walkway is lined with history-and-nature, combining into a pleasing whole.
Bethesda Terrace
This terrace is a spectacular stop, highlighting the magic that is Central Park.
Both the foliage in the Autumn and the sakura in the spring are magnificent.
You will treasure your photos here for a lifetime.
Strawberry Fields
We will traverse our way through the Park to Strawberry Fields and undoubtedly hear live renditions of John Lennon and/or the Beatles. I can then give directions assistance navigation for whatever plans you might have, including some very nearby subways - and museums.
Ending Point
Central Park West

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.
