For those who really want to get to know New York City's Central Park there could perhaps be no better tour guide than the park's official photographer and historian, Sara Cedar Miller who is also the author of "Central Park, an American Masterpiece". The Hotel Plaza Athenee, New York has created a partnership with the Central Park Conservancy to offer a private, custom tour of Central Park led by Sara Cedar Miller.

The tour will take place in a hybrid Toyota Highlander and each tour will be customized to the guest's interests and can include visits to Shakespeare Garden and Turtle Pond, the North Woods, Conservatory Garden, and other areas.

Each tour package includes a guestroom at the Hotel Plaza Athenee, a tour of Central Park and a signed copy of Sara's acclaimed book, "Central Park, an American Masterpiece". 100% of the proceeds from the tour portion of this package are turned over to the Conservancy to restore and manage the Park.

Tour package rates start at $990 for a midweek tour depending on the time of year. Three hour tours are available on the weekends. A four-week advance purchase reservation is recommended.
