Oscar was great but the trip is not 50 min. It looks like 30 min only I guess it’s too hot that day.

We were robbed of time
Helayne_V

Driver Oscar had an opening took us early. But. He spoke very little he did however share where celebrities lived. I was more interesting the history present in the park. Got very little. I kept asking about sights the. He told me. Oscar spent way too much time on his cell phone texting The worst park was he texted me at 230 to meet him. I met him at 234. The tour ended at 300 pm less then 30 minutes. Our extended tour which I paid for was for 45-60 min. He told me if I was not stopping for photo shoots my tour would be less. Oscar just was disengaged. The ped-bikes were much more thorough. First time not happy with a Viator tour guide

When you started yelling your husband like he is a child, I already understood you are a nut job , we understand once in a while we have to deal people like you. we cant know who is booking until we see them . Even though you didnt use your picture stops , your ride was at least 45 min .Its not even possible to do it under 40 min. You are a LIER! You threated to write a review like this so you will get refund. We will not refund ! You obviously read another review and created a similar story so your will be more believable ! Hospital level personality disorder! We hate people like you. you are trying to take advantage of working people! Thanks God you are only about 5 percent . 95 percent of the people are nice. I wish there is a place we can rate you so you cant book any activities and you cant bother anybody ! Shame on you!

Double booked
Erika_R
, May 2022
Oscar was nice enough, but he mostly talked only only the celebrities he met and the biggest pain point was him changing our booked time from 10am to 9am saying it was due to the police- we get back and up walks his 10 o’clock, which was our original time - so it seems he double booked and bumped us - a little disappointed he lites about it. Should have just told the truth

I said 10:00 is not available .it means somebody booked it before you so we asked you if you can come at 9 . you said what about later during the day. we said NYPD limited our working time due to the AIDS walk in the park . At the end you accepted and took your ride at 9 and you were very happy. NOBODY LIED TO YOU ERIKA, please read the messages more carefully. We dont need to lie .If its not available it is not.. Thank you.

Ruined a special surprise
Laura_K

Two weeks prior I booked a short trip around central park, which was a gift to my sister who has been unwell with cancer. On the day, just 20 minutes before the ride I received a text from the person to say they were at the location and waiting. When we arrived there was a couple in the carriage. The vendor stated that he had double booked and tried to upsell us to a full trip, of which I declined. When I expressed my unhappiness he became aggravated and told me 'not to push him'. We had to stand in the rain while he convinced another carriage to take us. The carriage we were transferred to was not what we paid for. It ruined what should have been a lovely experience. I would recommend buying on the day and not in advance.

Yes ,we accidently double booked and I realized two rides came at the same time, I said I am sorry I will have to give you another company or you can get full refund and choose another company . only 2 min later I arranged another company carriage and you took the ride what you paid for. Instead of being easygoing you created a drama scene. Trust me We see every kind of people. you are a DRAMA QUEEN!
