• The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Begin your journey at the Met, where your guide will introduce you to a collection that rivals those of the Louvre and British Museum. With over 2 million works of art and artifacts, the Met features pieces from Ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as modern art from Europe and beyond. The tour starts at the magnificent Great Hall and moves through the museum’s key galleries. In the Medieval Europe Gallery, you’ll explore the Studiolo from the Ducal Palace and armor worn by Henry VIII. The American wing showcases the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange and the iconic portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware River. Discover the fascinating lives of European painters like Vermeer, Seurat, and Van Gogh in the European wings. The museum itself has stories to tell, and your guide will explain how this American gallery differs from its older European counterparts, especially since it was established before the United States was even 100 years old!
• Central Park - After a lunch break, head to Central Park. Designed to provide New Yorkers with a breath of fresh air, it’s more than just green space; it’s a venue for memorials and artwork honoring figures like Bolivar, Marti, Balto, and Hans Christian Andersen. As your enthusiastic young guide shares the park’s history, you’ll cross the famous Gapstow Bridge on your way to the Central Park Zoo. Follow the tree-lined Mall and discuss the literary figures memorialized in statues on either side. Discover the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, a site of countless Hollywood moments. Cross Bow Bridge on your way to Strawberry Fields towards the Dakota to learn about John Lennon’s assassination at his memorial. Discover the charming restaurant, Tavern on the Green, before joining the locals in Sheep Meadow, where New Yorkers from all walks of life can escape city life for a moment.
• 432 Park Avenue - After meeting your guide at the Latin America History equestrian statues on the corner of 6 Ave & 59 St, you will enter the park. One of the first sights is the surviving ASPCA horse drinking fountain, installed in 1912. Although we are well into the age of the automobile, this is the only place in the city where one can bring a horse to drink water if they happen to have one.

You will then walk west to enjoy a stunning view of the new SuperScrapers. 432 Park Avenue is a residential skyscraper overlooking Central Park. It is the second tallest building in New York, behind One World Trade Centre, making it a prime location to live.

• Time Warner Center - Next, you will see the Time Warner Center, a mixed-use building complex consisting of two twin towers connected by a multi-story atrium. The complex houses upscale retail shops, as well as some office and residential spaces. Yet another impressive skyscraper for you to photograph!
• Bow Bridge - Afterwards, visit Bow Bridge, the largest bridge in the park. It is a cast iron bridge, designed with Classical Greek elegance during the 19th century. While other bridges in the park are inconspicuous, Bow Bridge stands out with its interlocking circles banister and intricate elements beneath the arch span.
• Gapstow Bridge - Another bridge you will encounter during your tour is the beautiful schist Gapstow Bridge, initially built in 1874. The bridge offers one of the best views of the New York City skyline, providing excellent photo opportunities.
• Turtle Pond - Then, make your way to the Great Lawn, a 55-acre site considered one of the most famous lawns in the world. The Lawn is perfect for a picnic on a spring afternoon or sunbathing in summer. Nearby, you will find Turtle Pond, home to most of the park’s turtles.
• The Dakota - After this, you will see the Dakota, perhaps the most famous cooperative building in the city. Constructed in 1884, it still retains much of its original character. It was the home of John Lennon, former Beatles member, from 1973 until his tragic death in the archway of the building in 1980.
• Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial - Following this, visit Strawberry Fields, a 2.5-acre area in Central Park that pays tribute to the late Beatle, John Lennon. A designated quiet area in the park, Strawberry Fields is lined with elm trees, shrubs, flowers, and rocks, creating a tranquil, picturesque site.
• Bethesda Fountain - During your walk, you will come across the Angel of Bethesda atop Bethesda Fountain. Located in the center of Bethesda Terrace, the angel became New York City’s first major piece of public art commissioned from a woman.
• Central Park Zoo - Finally, end your tour at the Central Park Zoo, located at the southeast corner of Central Park in New York City. Here, you can either stay and enjoy the stunning landscapes of the park, or your guide will accompany you to the nearest subway.
