    Wanted to do something different for my birthday so I booked this tour for a group of family & friends. Our guide Corrine was amazing and full of enthusiasm. She made the tour fun and such a great learning experience. Corrine not only provided interesting facts about Prospect Park but also made it interactive by asking us questions & taking questions. Would definitely recommend this tour.

    What a wonderful tour, giving us a good overview of much of the park! The route was comfortable (not many uphills) and well-paced--the perfect balance between seeing a lot of the highlights and being able to pause to absorb the beauty of the park. Corinne was our delightful tour guide, knowledgeable and personable. Our group included both newcomers and frequent visitors to the park; we all learned about the history of the park as well as future plans. Highly recommend!

    What a wonderful and informative tour! Corrine ( sorry if I mispelled it) was informative and friendly to all who participated in the tour. There was lots of insight on the history of the park including future developments going on. We were provided with alot of history which included many photos and maps of the park. I never knew that the original park was not supposed to be where it is today. We look forward to taking more tours with Turnstyle Tours in the future

    It was a hot day, but our Guide Doug kept us in the shade as much as he could and kept up a steady stream of information without overwhelming us. Would recommend this tour to anyone, especially if Doug is the guide! Anne Blake/Jud Rogers, Nashville, TN

    Doug was a wonderful tour guide. We covered a lot of ground (literally!) including the less-seen parts of Prospect Park-- a waterfall and stream and the site of the original carousel. We learned a lot about the park's history. He had lots of photos from the park's past and stories about its past and present state. I left with a real feel for what makes the park special. Thanks for a wonderful morning at Prospect Park!
