New York Trip Overview
Visit one of New York City’s most defining features – massive Central Park – on a private walking tour with a guide, where you will learn the city’s history as told through the park. See the statue of Balto—a very special Alaskan dog. After he fought the Alaskan tundra to help indigenous communities threatened by a diphtheria epidemic, the husky became a legend of the radio age and New Yorkers contributed to a bronze sculpture of the brave canine. Visit Bethesda Terrace and Bethesda Fountain, which have appeared in films like 27 Dresses and Disney’s Enchanted. Finish your tour at Strawberry Field, near the Dakota Building, where Lennon was devastatingly killed in 1980. Pay your respects to him, before your guide gives you recommendations on how to spend the rest of your time in the Big Apple.
