Just did the Central Park walking tour, and it was amazing!

I went on the Central Park Experience tour last weekend and it blew me away! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the park, especially Seneca Village. Standing in front of Belvedere Castle was a highlight! The whole vibe was super relaxed, and it was nice to see the park from a different angle. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting NYC!

Considering this as a gift, but need more details!

Thinking of gifting the Central Park walking tour to my parents. They love history and walking, but I'm not sure about the logistics. How’s parking around there? And is it easy to walk the whole route? Any tips would be great!
