What To Expect

When the weather is fair, there’s no better way to see the sites of New York City’s Central Park than from the comfort of a horse-drawn carriage.

Easily meet your driver, and horse, in Central Park. If you like you can give your horse a little treat (carrots provided). Then you’ll be on your way.

Your driver will give you loads of information about the places you pass by, including insider information that you wouldn’t get in a guidebook.

Some of the places you’ll pass by are the Wollman Rink, Balto Statue, Loeb Boathouse, Cherry Hill, and much more. There will be plenty of photo stops along the way.

Also, if it’s a tad chilly, you can use blankets provided in your carriage.

Not an enjoyable...
Brandy_M, Mar 2024
Not an enjoyable experience. I wouldn’t recommend this company . Research a little more before booking your ride
Disappointing
Robin_M, Mar 2024
Paid for a 1 hour carriage ride- but it lasted just shy of 40 minutes. Disappointed! The driver, who was polite, gave few facts about Central Park (just 3) I’ve been on a carriage ride previously and it was much more fun and engaging. This one was not.
Disappointing
Brandy_D, Mar 2024
Our driver picked us up 15 minutes late. Our time was 3:15 he picked us up at 3:30. We paid for 1 hour and were dropped back off at 4:05. So we got a 35 minute ride when we paid for an hour but when we said something he said oh it’s not a big deal I have another ride waiting for me.
Oscar and Strawberry

Oscar and Strawberry were amazing… flowers and chocolates for my daughter were perfect. Central Park was beautiful, you showed us all the nostalgic spots. Thank you for the memories. Highly recommend!
Fabulous experience
Paul_M, Mar 2024
Oscar was brilliant and took time to explain all the sights. He took pictures of us when we required and nothing was too much trouble.
Wonderful ride through park
Matthew_M, Mar 2024
Feeding the horse at the fountain. Enjoying the weather and all the sites in Central Park. The guide was not chatty but pointed out highlights. It was nice.

Great carriage ride
Crystal_L, Feb 2024
Driver was very funny and ride was great. Just wish they could get closer to some things like Strawberry fields and imagine area.
Great way to wrap up the weekend
George_S, Feb 2024
Our carriage ride was the last thing we did before leaving NY, and it was a great way to cap off an event-filled weekend. Our driver was a good tour guide and took a bunch of pictures for us.
Need to upgrade carriages and feed horses
Jenny_H, Feb 2024
Good concept but the carriage, blankets and equipment was old, dirty, stinky and the horses needed to be fed more
Poor service
Lisa_S, Feb 2024
That the Driver canceled while we where standing at his carriage without any notice the site allowed us to book so they need some improvement
Royal ride
Joyce_N, Feb 2024
We had a great experience, the temperature was cool and we didn’t want to stay long. We definitely would do it again.
Warning: operator may cancel your chosen time
William_R, Jan 2024
This was very disappointing. We had scheduled a nighttime carriage ride in Central Park. The operator decided to shut down “night shift” due to low ridership. They offered an earlier time, so we went ahead with it. The driver was boring, obsessed on locations related to films and film stars. It was a dreary wet day, so the ride was just not great.
