“I would highly recommend this experience but would definitely book the 2 hour! The one hour felt a little rushed & there was so much of Central Park I would have liked to see but that is not a them issue! We had max & abes they were great drivers & max was a great guide! I only gave them a 4 star because I wish I could hear a little bit better & that both of them would give their own tour because the other cart only caught half of what max was saying!! Also if you do not want to get scammed would highly recommend booking this!”
