Classic iconic New York ride-do it!
Kimberly_D, Apr 2024
Getting the history of the park and its famous landmarks for movies and tv. Our driver Emre was very knowledgable and polite. Jersey the horse was friendly as well.
Awesome experience with John and Rambo!
Bryan_S, Apr 2024
A wonderful experience that I can highly recommend. The carriage driver was John and our horse was Rambo. They were exceptional team. John was kind, funny, and allowed us to stop where we wanted for photos. Rambo kept the pace and was beautiful. This is must, particularly with John and Rambo.
Great Experience

Adam and Madison great tour guides across Central Park
Donna_J, Apr 2024
Seeing Central Park via Horse Carriage Ride was a smart and enchanting journey that my kids will cherish forever. From start to finish, every aspect of the experience was seamless and delightful. Meeting up with our carriage ride was incredibly easy. The designated meeting point was conveniently located near Central Park, and our friendly host texted us to let us know where to meet and to confirm. Our host was knowledgeable about the park's history and landmarks and a fantastic storyteller who entertained us throughout the ride. From tales of Central Park's creation to interesting anecdotes about its famous residents, we learned so much while enjoying the leisurely pace of the carriage ride. But perhaps the best part of the experience was seeing the sheer joy and wonder on our children's faces. They were captivated by the sights and sounds of Central Park, eagerly pointing out wildlife and posing for photos at scenic spots along the way. It was a magical moment that we'll always treasure as a family. Overall, the Central Park and NYC Horse Carriage Ride exceeded our expectations in every way. Its easy meet-up process, stunning views, engaging host, and undeniable charm make it a must-do activity for anyone visiting or living in New York City. We can't wait to do it again!
Good tour through Central Park

Great experience!
Kate_H, Mar 2024
Adam was Wonderful! He was full of great information and trivia about Central Park, and was happy to answer questions. His horse Destiny was lovely as well! I’m so glad we did the carriage ride as a overall view of Central Park
We got there early, but...
Grace_W, Mar 2024
We got there early, but Adam had no problems taking us early. My grandson giving Madison (the horse) carrots and petting her was definitely the highlight of the tour. Adam was very pleasant the whole tour.
Adam and Madison have us a memorable afternoon
Susan_C, Mar 2024
It was a rather cold day and we arrived very early we contacted the office and they brought forward our ride. Which was excellent. Madison and Adam were beautifully turned out and the carriage was brand new looking, really smart. We were entertained with the commentary as we went around and learnt a lot of interesting facts about the park. Because we all had various issues Adam took lots of pictures for us so we were able to stay in the carriage, which was a great help. We had a great experience and will certainly recommend this excursion to our friends.
So much fun
Sarah_M, Mar 2024
The tour guide, Adam, was so much fun and knowledgeable about the park. I learned a lot from him, I had my older mom and my 10 year old daughter with me and we all really enjoyed this experience!
March in NYC
Cecilia_S, Mar 2024
Adam was very polite and knowledgeable. He stopped where we wanted him to stop. He answered all of our questions took several pictures. Let us feed the horses. We had a wonderful time.!
Amazing experience
Jasmin_S, Feb 2024
Our trip was cancelled due to a snow storm but was rebooked for another day. We arrived earlier than planned but this was not a problem as our guide and horse were ready. Our guide Emre and Horse Rambo were fabulous! Emre told us about the different parts of Central Park that we were passing as well as the different films and movies that had been filmed in Central Park. Emre was incredibly knowledgable. We stopped at several places and Emre took photos for us! The tour lasted around 45 minutes. A beautiful way to end to our fabulous time in NYC!!

Made me feel like royalty
Ansley_D, Jan 2024
Very well done and accommodating, the driver was informative and nice to us the entire time and I highly recommend this experience.
Nice experience.
Karen_D, Jan 2024
Driver (Faith) and Horse (Rambo) were great. Called me in advance to confirm time. Offered a few tips of where to visit near the park after the ride.
Nice…but
ANNA_R, Jan 2024
The carriage ride itself was very enjoyable. I bought it for family with kids and they had great time. The only problem I had was that the meeting point is a place where all the carriages stop and there is nothing in the booking that would indicate which ride was the one booked. We ended up asking multiple drivers and having to run up and down the meeting point. The number in the booking was busy when we called and finally answered at third attempt. The person that answered wasn’t particularly nice. For the price tag of almost 300 bucks I expected it to be better organized.
Carriage Driver of the Year
Donna_C, Jan 2024
Emre was our carriage driver. He was very pleasant, excellent tour guide. He went above and beyond because I could not find him and he came in the direction where I was after FaceTime. He was very kind. He dropped off my girls at the skating rink and then we were on the tour. He did not hesitate to stop for pictures, very pleasant. We did not feel rushed.
Viator and NYC Carriage ride ripped me off
jessica_h, Dec 2023
