…Kevin is much more than a tour guide, his in depth knowledge is impressive. We visited numerous sites including theaters, apartments, hotels (and sites of former theaters, hotels, etc). Sharing vintage photos he covered a well research expose on the life of the comedic actor, WC Fields. Highly recommend Kevin!

Explore Central Park Like a Local, With a Local, & Discover Its Rich History Along the Way
A trip to Manhattan is not complete without a trip to the world-famous Central Park. On this special private family tour—designed by a father—special care is taken to accommodate many fun family activities in NYC. There are extra restroom breaks, stops at the best playgrounds, photo-ops in the most special spots, and lots of time to explore places kids and tweens would want to see most.
You won’t just visit Central Park like any other tourist. Along the way, your guide will stop to take photos of your family that you can hold onto forever. This Central Park for kids tour can also include a popular playground stop that only the locals know to visit (and guests can see actual Manhattan children in the wild!).
There are hundreds of Central Park tours, but this is the only one designed with parents and kids in mind, and offers an engaging experience for the whole family (grandparents welcome too) while exploring some of Central Park’s most iconic attractions.

See What Our Customers Say About Us
I had a great tour with Kevin. I learned a lot about Cypress Hills National Cemetery of which I was unware
…You are so knowledgeable about the literary scene in NYC during The Algonquin years, and obviously your range of knowledge goes far beyond that…
…We were already enchanted with NYC but nothing compared to our host, Kevin Fitzpatrick, who knew so many facts and so much trivia about this wonderful upper west side neighborhood… We felt very lucky to have found such a fabulous guide to show us so many things we would never have found on our own, and highly recommend this tour!
…It was a very informative and interesting tour of the “secret islands” in the Long Island sound along Pelham Bay and New Rochelle. We saw Pea Island, Hart Island, Columbia Island, the Expedition Rocks Lighthouse, and some others. It was a really fun tour and a good value. Would highly recommend!
