Good tour. Need to be able to stop more.

Our guide and his horse were great. Provided some good information about the park. Answered our questions and was ready and waiting for us even though we were a bit early. Driver only offered us to get off at one spot. Wanted to see Strawberry Field / Imagine / John Lennon Memorial, but wasn’t offered to stop there. It was neat to see the Dakota building where John Lennon lived though. The park is beautiful and you wouldn’t think you are in middle of NYC.
Nice experience but expensive
Donna_D, Jul 2023
It was a nice experience to go round central Park in a horse and carriage but it only lasted 40 mins and it was mainly only pointing out where a few scenes from films were done. Our driver was very nice and took some photos for us but it’s expensive for what it is

Our driver Honor was very friendly and very accommodating, we were running late and he was willing to wait for us, good communication and very knowledgeable of sites he pointed out for us. He took some excellent pictures of us with my iPhone too! Even dropped us off close to our hotel so we didn’t have to take an Uber, above and beyond!!I would highly recommend this driver and this experience to anyone visiting New York.

Rauf was the best!!!! He shared lots of facts about Central Park. He cares for his horse, Whiskey. Rauf was friendly, kind, and knowledgeable.
