The experience

How do you cover Central Park without walking the whole thing or renting a bike you have to navigate yourself? The electric scooters do the distance while your guide handles the route. You ride from Columbus Circle through the park's 843 acres, stopping at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir for the city skyline views, the oldest artifact in Central Park near Museum Mile, and photo spots along the way. The guide points out both the famous landmarks and the lesser-known corners most visitors miss, and you get to ask questions and catch your breath at each stop instead of rushing through.

The two-hour tour includes the scooter, a helmet and a map, so you're not figuring out what to bring or where you're going. Riders need to be at least 14 years old. The pace is set by the group and the guide's knowledge, not by how fast you can pedal or how tired you get. The scooter carries you, and the stops are planned so you're not on it the whole time. Your guide can also give you tips for restaurants, neighborhoods and other things to do in the city once the tour ends.
