Beautiful ride!!!
DENISE_L, Apr 2024
Henry was a great guide! Full of knowledge, very patient, took great pictures of us, etc. This company also takes good care of their horses.
Disappointed
David_F, Apr 2024
We were told to get into carriage and driver walked away. My husband had to go find him to ask if a step stool. Barely spoke with us as tour began -learned his name was John and horse Winter it was difficult to hear him; at one point on his cell phone then he turned and began talking about cryptocurrency. Stopped at the arcade didn't explain ; my husband went down to explore but I couldn't because of steps. As my husband started down I turn to ask question of driver he was gone. Another place he took a pic and when we asked about where we were he didn't answer . Asked again no response. And only 38 minutes. When I said we paid for the 55 minutes He said it was because I didn't go explore the arcade! Very little information - would point the crop towards something as we went by and explain after we passed. - very disappointed! Especially since most reviews were good.

Wifes Birthday treat
Adrian_H, Mar 2024
I booked a 55 minute ride around Central Park for my wife's 50th birthday and everything was great. The carriage was ready waiting for us, the knowledge shared from our driver of the park and sights to be seen whilst on the ride was very good. Our driver took lots of photos if us during the ride too. The whole experience was excellent and made my wife very happy on her special day.
We had a great...

We had a great experience. The driver was friendly and excited to share her city with us. It was clear that the horse was loved and well-cared for.
Meh, but still a good time
patrick_g, Mar 2024
Felt underwhelming. The price on the carriage was half of what we paid online. The tour guide was very informative but inattentive. He was on his phone texting most of the trip.
Great Tour of the Park
Dwight_B, Mar 2024
Great tour of Central Park. Our driver was very knowledgeable about all of the sights and landmarks.
Meh!! It was okay!
Dan_D, Feb 2024
Don't upgrade to VIP. I upgraded to VIP and didn't feel VIP. The tour whole ride only lasted 40 mins and it was advertised to last 65 mins. The driver was VERY hard to understand, very broken english. It was a beautiful day, and the park is pretty. but not worht the cost. Especially how we were shorted by 25 mins. We also did a night time carriage ride that went out into the street, down 5th avenue and times square, it was MUCH better.

Lovely Central Park Ride
Louis_C, Feb 2024
Lovely Horse called Mary, driver was also very knowledgeable along the trip and took some lovely photographs of me and my misses along the Central Park route. The only thing I would change about it, is keep the entire journey to within/around Central Park, but that's just my preference in preferring quiter sightseeing rather than going along the actual roads. Would definately do it again. Highly recommend.
Not only was the...

Carriage Ride to remember
Arthur_B, Oct 2023
Robert’s sharing of the sights of the park as well as his knowledge of the park we invaluable. He and Aurora made it very enjoyable and memorable. The opportunity to ride around Central Park was amazing and it was fun to see some spots from some of our favorite movies which made it that much more fun. We look forward to returning and seeing more sights and sounds of New York City. It was a truly great experience that we’ll always remember.
Wow! Central Park
Lorraine_h, Oct 2023
