    Please share this. AVOID rickshaws and pedicabs in NYC at all costs. My hotel is in midtown on 45th Ave, which is 9 mins cycling distance or 20 mins walk to Broadway. I walked this morning so I knew how exactly close it was. After watching a show on Broadway, I didn't feel like walking and was approached by a rickshaw driver. I saw the sign and thought it was $3.99 per mile. Actually it was $3.99 per minute that's why the rickshaw driver was clocking his timer. He wanted to charge me $120 for a 25 mins ride. I debated with him. I told him it should have been max 15 mins cos I was watching the GPS on my phone the whole time. I called him out for deliberately doing circles. I refused to pay him $120 for a 25 mins ride. I simply didn't have that kind of cash on me, i counter offered $20. At that point, he threatened to call the cops. I got up and started walking. Mind you, because he was going in circles, I had to stop him so I was NOT even at my destination and was still couple blocks away from my hotel. He called the cops, I didn't care and kept walking. He left his rickshaw and started following and blocking me. He said I had to stay and wait for the cops. I insisted that I would pay him $20 not $120. He started pushing me. I walked even faster towards a busier street where there were pedestrians and I yelled at him for pushing and touching me. Finally I got to a busy street, and my hotel was half a block away. I told him, I would pay him $40, and asked him to leave me alone. He said 'No. $50.' By then my hotel was almost in front of me, I said, 'my hotel is just there and we can wait for the cops there'. I declared 'this is the biggest scam for what should have been a $5-10 cab ride'. He backed off. At the very last, he took my $40 and said 'Get the Fxxk out of here'. I will share my experience on Yelp as it should NOT be a 4 star experience per Yelp. Please spread the words to avoid this kind of scam. P.S. do a search on rickshaw scam in NYC - it is out of control.

    I loved this, and my hat is off to our driver, who took us from the Broadhurst theatre back to our hotel near Second Ave. His chain slipped off once, but he took care of it, and he had to go up some decent hills to get us home. He limited the chatter, seeing that we really were enjoying the air rushing past us on a perfect romantic evening. I had no idea how much this would cost us, but his price was $15, versus $5-6 for a cab, both prices before tips. He worked hard, so we tipped him good.

We decided to book a Central Park pedicab tour so we could see more of the park in a shorter amount of time, and after reading countless reviews, we specifically requested Barry as our guide. He absolutely lived up to the hype! We were picked up just outside Magnolia Bakery, which worked out perfectly because we got to enjoy their famous banana pudding before our tour began. From the moment we met Barry, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our experience memorable. He took us to all of Central Park's must-see locations and best photo spots. He even helped us adjust our camera settings so we could get the best pictures based on the lighting and scenery. One of our favorite parts was hearing about all the movies and TV shows filmed throughout the park. Barry pointed out famous filming locations and shared fun facts along the way. To top it all off, he took us to the beautiful cherry blossom trees for some amazing photos at the end of the tour. This was such a fun and relaxing way to experience Central Park, and my daughter said it was one of her favorite parts of our entire trip. If you're considering a pedicab tour, I highly recommend requesting Barry, you won't be disappointed!

    John, the owner is GREAT! He was super easy to communicate with and responds back expeditiously!! I…read morewrote an email at 1:32 am and he answered right away! He offers an hour or two hour tour and on the website lists the points of interest you'll see. It's a pedicab ride either through manhattan or Central Park. He offers a military discount of $20 off, be sure to inform him prior if you are eligible. The price listed includes from 1-3 people total (not per person). A group of 4 would require paying for another pedicab. It was a great way to hit the highlights of Central Park without killing your legs or feet! Definitely, worthwhile as you would never be able to cover as much ground if by foot.. We were able to stop and take pictures at most of the areas. Some places they do not stop due to no pedicab parking laws. It was nice that we were able to still see things at night. We wanted to go earlier in the day but our own schedule interfered. An hour of it we saw in daylight and the second hour went into night time. Because of this company we were able to squeeze in Central Park and relax and learn some history along the way! We covered a lot of ground! Russell, our pedicab driver was super sweet and knowledgeable and ensured we were comfortable. The temperatures dropped and he offered coverings for our legs as we were wearing dresses. Russell even took pictures of us for us. He is a very pleasant individual with a good disposition. My sister and I felt they both were very accommodating! We got to meet John in person, because we didn't have enough cash on us and we needed to use our credit card. Russell was able to call him and John met up so that we could swipe our credit card to pay. If you pay online and you are military, he can give a cash refund of the $20. You might want to clarify with him when you book before you do. Great Times, lots of laughs and learning about the history of Central Park! Thanks John and Russell for helping us tour your lovely city! I highly recommend 7evenwheels!!

We started on Central Park Ave with John giving us some background about Trump Plaza, Essex hotel, etc. and then entered Central Park. John answered our questions about history of Central Park, how trees were planted, the tree types, different areas of Central Park, main attractions and even stopped for a 5 min walk/photo stops. Later, he was nice to ride us to Rockefeller Center - the place we were heading next after Central Park. Overall, me and my parents were happy with this 1 Hour pedicab tour and I would recommend John and 7evenWheels to my family and friends.
