Our driver Ibrahim was a total professional and he was very friendly in explaining all of the points of interest in the park and a lot of the buildings surrounding the park. He also took us to some historic spots so we could take some great photos. I have to say we really enjoyed the ride and would definitely do it again.

I'm telling you, if you take a ride, you're going to want the videographer & photographer (I think his name was Daryl) to capture the entire ride for you.

A friend found a deal for bike rentals here through Groupon, and we had a great time biking through…read moreCentral park on a double date! With the Groupon, the price was only $14 for 2 hour bike rental for 2. That is extremely cheap! 2 hours is ample time to loop through the park and make your way back to the store. Our group didn't stop too long at any single spot, but we made quick pit stops for photos at the Central Park Conservatory and the Bethesda Fountain. Getting the bikes was an easy process. The bikes are lightweight and come equipped with baskets so you can offload your backpack! The company also offered locks which we should have taken. We were 2 mins late to return our bikes but no late fees were charged. I highly recommend coming here and renting a bike as a fun way to explore Central Park.

If you're focusing on trying to capture and video the ride, it takes away from the actual ride. So my suggestion is if you ride just enjoy the ride with the person you're riding with and if you want to video it do it on the next ride because it is a 20 minute ride. But it's one of those that you know. Hate man. You just have to do especially doing holiday time around Central Park so go in a joy. It's not that expensive for New York City either

Great free and fun Christmas activity to do in Brooklyn! If you're taking public transportation,…read moreit's a long commute, with D and R as the closest train lines. Between 83rd and 86th St, intersected with 11th through 13th, the Dyker Heights neighborhood are really fun to walk around and admire the lights and take photos. I came with a small cavapoo, and I was happy to help other people (mainly families) take photos in exchange for them helping me take photos with my dog. There were certain spots where there was just a bottleneck of people, and it was impossible to get through with my dog without picking him up and carrying him through the crowd. There were trucks giving out Annie's Pretzels and coffee and hot chocolate. I didn't partake in any of the food trucks, but a lot of people are really inconsiderate and leave trash on people's private properties. C'mon people, these are actual homes, do you want people treating your homes this way? A super fun walk during the Christmas holidays!

This is one of the classics. I'm going with 3 stars because there's confusion about this listing…read more Most of the reviews are for a general neighborhood phenomenon, not a particular private bus tour. The epicenter is a mile walk from the D or R trains, but the bus service from the R along 86th seems simpler. Be sure your phone is charged; you'll find an incredible assortment of photo and video opportunities. The multi-Santa Spata House at 1152 84th St. is perhaps the most famous. Some of the locals are annoyed about the traffic. No spoilers but further west on 84th there's what might be an amusing quiet protest about this event. Consider the lack of bathrooms before downing any hot chocolate or apple cider. In one post-lights trip I went to the great Chris's Polish restaurant in Bensonhurst; I reckon open-at-night options are more prevalent in Bay Ridge.

Our Harlem jazz club night with the AH-mazing Amanda Humes. Words cannot even describe this event,…read morebut Imma gunna give it a try! First, I suggest you only go on this tour, if you are sincerely interested in having the time of your life ALONG with learning about the history of Harlem Jazz. This was such a genuine, real, unpretentious night, never to be forgotten. I say, don't waste these people's lives if you are not sincerely into learning something new about Harlem, about people, about jazz, or about life. Just keep your comfy self at home. : ) This was one of the coolest, most surprising nights we've had in NYC! Amanda is a social genius, to say the least. She understands people, from all walks of life. She is a fabulous story teller and rolls out the night with a no-nonsense open heart. She does all she can to make you feel comfortable in showing you experiences that are hidden, off the beaten path and ones you could probably not find on your own. She goes above and beyond what most would do. You can see she puts 1000% into making this a remarkable experience for everyone. Amanda took my 17 year old daughter and me - along with abut 8 other people, deep into the world of jazz on 135th Street!! It was a night that was rich with genuine soul, enthusiastic passion, big energy and an experience that will forever live in our hearts! It was like getting a PHD in jazz and Harlem in a night! We have both been forever changed- and, THE TALENT WAS UNFORGETTABLE! Amanda gave us an inspiring night tour, that we really didn't want to end. We started way off the beaten path At The American Legion Post- A private club with Harlem's last original Hammond organ being put to great use by Greg Lewis (also known as Organ Monk) along with the very talented Russell Carter on Drums! This group was led by a two-time Grammy Nominated, Saxophonist and Flutist, (who just performed with Rod Stewart and The Roots on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon), Mr. David Lee Jones! His jazzy flute playing was INCREDIBLE! I had never heard the flute played like this in Jazz before... and it was toe-tapping, heart expanding good! Later in the evening, we walked down Swing Street - and saw all the old Jazz haunts from the prohibition era & the1930's and rode the, as Amanda called it, "municipal limousine" aka- bus- haha- to the amazing, sexy and high vibin' Minton's Playhouse to listen to Mr. Jason Marshall's & his extraordinarily talented and diverse Big Band! I personally loved the female trombonist... WOW! Minton's had AWESOME FOOD and delicious drinks! We loved the people that worked there and they all made us feel so special and welcomed. We had great seats too. They made us feel like they were 'waiting' for us. I think that might be the "Amanda Magic" haha! I noticed she is beloved in Harlem! We took scrumptious pictures of the night that will help keep our memories of this night forever alive. We met WONDERFUL new friends on the tour, from around the world - and fell in love with places we would have never found if it hadn't been for Amanda. It made us want to go back and do it all over again the next night. If you want a rare experience, something you can't find easily -- this is the tour for you. It was intimate and beyond entertaining. It made me wonder why I have never done a tour like this before. Amanda made it remarkable. She was born for this job. Her knowledge of music, Harlem history, musicians, along with her sense of humor, ability to communicate, love for people make her an outstanding guide. Also, I felt 1000% safe in her company. My daughter was eyes-wide-open INSPIRED and so was I... and our hearts danced ourselves to the taxi, wanting to play Billy Holiday all the way home. What a dream this night was for us to experience !!! Thank you to everyone who made it so special. Meredith and Lauren

But seeing it in real life for the first time... that moment stays with you. It's iconic, powerful, and absolutely beautiful from the water. The tour itself was relaxing and informative. It gave us time to take in the view, snap some photos, and just appreciate being so close to one of the most recognized landmarks in the world. We did this on day 3 of our trip, and it felt like the perfect timing -- not too early when you're still adjusting, but not too late when you've already seen too much. We went around 11:00 AM, and it wasn't overly crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. If you're coming to New York, I definitely recommend making time to see the Statue of Liberty. It's not just a symbol of the city -- it's a symbol of the country And experiencing it in person gives you a new appreciation for that. Bring your camera, soak in the moment, and enjoy the breeze from the boat -- it's totally worth it. RECOMMEND (Personally mine)
