What’s the experience like?

“You want a picture here?” our driver called out as we rolled past the Alice in Wonderland statue, dodging a group of kids chasing bubbles. The breeze felt cool against my face, and I could hear the faint clang of the carousel somewhere behind us. We hopped off at Bethesda Terrace, where sunlight bounced off the Minton tiles and a saxophonist played under the arches. It was easy to forget we were in the middle of Manhattan with all that green around us.

Our guide knew every shortcut and story—he pointed out the Dakota Building, told us about John Lennon’s memorial at Strawberry Fields, and even shared which benches have the best people-watching. At Bow Bridge, couples posed for photos while joggers zipped by, headphones on. The reservoir sparkled through the trees, and for a moment it felt like we had the park to ourselves.

We covered so much more than I expected: Balto’s statue (with its shiny nose from all those pats), Belvedere Castle peeking over the treetops, and glimpses of both the Upper East Side and Harlem beyond the park walls. When we reached Columbus Circle, our driver offered to snap one last photo before dropping us right at our hotel door—no subway crowds or long walks back.
