Overview

Step into a refined outdoor adventure with Paws & the Past, a one-of-a-kind luxury walking tour of Central Park designed for discerning dog lovers and their four-legged companions. This bespoke experience weaves together the rich history of Central Park with curated stops at the park’s most dog-friendly and scenic locations.

Led by a knowledgeable guide and canine enthusiast, this immersive stroll explores the evolution of dogs in New York—from the city’s early working breeds to the pampered pets of Gilded Age elites. As you walk beneath tree-lined paths and historic arches, you’ll uncover tales of famous canine New Yorkers, the Central Park carriage dogs, and the role dogs have played in art, society, and even politics.
