I had the pleasure of experiencing an incredible trip through Central Park with Russell as our guide. From the start, his excellent communication skills ensured that we were all well-prepared for an unforgettable adventure! The day kicked off with a delightful breakfast sandwich from a Bodega nearby the start of the tour, setting the tone for what was to come. As we strolled through the park, Russell’s attention to detail truly stood out. Not only did he provide us with unique insights about historical landmarks, but he also indulged the movie buff in me by pointing out iconic spots where famous movie scenes took place. This personalized touch added an extra layer of excitement and appreciation to the experience. The highlight of the trip - for me- was our dinner at Becco. Ending the day with a mouthwatering Italian feast and a glass of primo wine wasn't even on my radar, but man, am I glad that's how we rolled! Thank you Russell for making this trip through Central Park an absolute blast. So if you're drowning in choices and it's all getting a bit overwhelming - I got you. Russell's guided tour is where it's at.

Stopped by the local bodega for a quick bacon, egg & cheese, salt & pepper, ketchup, ate by the lake and took off! Bring your walking shoes because you’re in for a beautiful walk. The tour was incredible, learned so much about the park itself I would’ve never guessed. Not only were the views amazing, but it was a great way to indulge yourself in the city and see it from a different perspective. If you go during the winter, bring a jacket & don’t be surprised you see runners with no shirt lol
