Q&A

Q: Are there age limits for the dogs that can join this tour?

A: There aren’t any strict age limits for dogs on the Central Bark and Beyond Tour! However, it’s best if your dog is comfortable walking for a couple of hours and is socialized well with other dogs and people since it can get busy in Central Park. If you have a puppy or a senior dog, just make sure they're up for it and can handle the distance.

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it casual or more upscale?

A: Definitely go for comfortable, casual wear! Since it’s a walking tour through Central Park, you’ll want to wear sneakers or other walking shoes. Layer up since it might get a bit cooler in the shade. And don’t forget dog-friendly gear if your pup gets a bit excited!

Q: What happens if it rains? Can we reschedule?

A: If it rains, they do offer the chance to reschedule! You can usually contact them directly a day before your tour if the weather looks bad. Just make sure you keep an eye on the forecast! They want you and your pup to have the best experience possible.

Thinking of gifting the Central Bark and Beyond Tour for my dog-loving sister!

Hey everyone! I’m considering this Central Bark and Beyond Tour as a birthday gift for my sister. She’s obsessed with her golden retriever and loves Central Park. I’m curious about how much walking is involved and if there are good spots for taking dog selfies! Also, is it a good experience for a first-time dog owner?

Just did the Central Bark and Beyond Tour, and it was AMAZING!

I took my dog on the Central Bark and Beyond Tour last weekend, and wow, what a fun experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history of Central Park and even shared stories about famous dogs. The best part? My pup made a ton of new friends! The bottled water was a nice touch. Highly recommend for any dog lovers out there!
