In the urban park
of the “City that never sleeps”, you can tour around by foot, bike, pedicab and
horse carriages. When you find renting a horse carriage a bit expensive,
traveling by foot or pedaling a bike exhausting, then I’d suggest taking a
pedicab ride. So, below, I’ve listed the things you may need to know, as well
as tips on how not to get ripped off, when you take a pedicab ride in Central
Park:

schedule to follow or can only squeeze a one or two-hour tour around the area,
the Central Park Pedicab Tour
in NYC will take you to key tourist spots and help you maximize your time. Many
pedicab services even allow a customized tour plan.
Many pedicab
services that offer tours for more or less 30 minutes to 4 hours. You can
request which sites you can go visit first or which sites you want to be
visited last. Or, you can customize the plan by listing the places you do not
want to miss. Some even offer a tour which includes snacks and time to have a
lovely picnic.

Leaving footprints
on tourist destinations can be meaningful when you know in a way that you’ve
contributed to local’s small businesses. Even as a tourist, you can’t find
words to express how you appreciate their services or product sold by small
businesses, buying their products or services may already mean a lot. This is
similar when you take a Central Park Pedicab Tour in NYC.
Regulated
by New York City Government
You cannot get
easily ripped off by pedicab drivers if you know the New York City’s
regulations. Although New York does not set an exact rate these drivers should
charge, the law of NYC specifically states that the pedicabs can only charge
per minute only, not per block.
So, before you take
the pedicab ride, make sure that they’ll give you the specific rate per minute
plus tax. Make sure to get the drivers name, id and plate number, if possible.
When booking online pedicab tours, don’t forget to read the customer’s
feedback.
