Relaxing
Andy_A, Jan 2024
Awesome and relaxing way to see Central Park. Mila, our tour guide was fab, pointing out all the points of interest, and giving us great narrative. And not forgetting Cisco, his horse. We had an email the night before, confirming time and pick up point, (end of 6th Avenue and 59th Street) which was easy to find, also on the day, a text, from Mila, himself. We had stop off points to take pictures during our hour trip. The carriage was comfortable and blankets were provided.
Date night in NYC

We had a tough weather evening with steady and at times heavy rain. But we were kept dry and warm and still had a very enjoyable ride. Our driver was very friendly and informative and endure the elements to make it a great hour for us. Highly recommend.
No need to book! Cheaper in person!
Risn_M, Nov 2023
Booked this 60-minute carriage ride weeks ago before our holiday at the price of £205 (approx $265). Definitely very overpriced. If I had arrived without booking I could have got a carriage ride for 90 minutes for $160 (approx £130) for my family. Don't book in advance as there are plenty of horses and carriages available and you will definitely get it cheaper in person! The ride itself was nice enough but you don't get to see very much of Central Park at all and you could easily walk to the focal points the drivers stop at. Our driver, Onur was very nice and gave us interesting facts throughout the ride and took plenty of photos on our phone for us.
Very rushed stroll through Central Park
Larry_J, Oct 2023
The ride was only 45 minutes with only 2 stops. The driver was very nice, bit didn't have much knowledge about the park or New York. The price was way too much for what we recwived.
Lovely ride

Relaxing stroll

Our guide/Driver sharing about Central Park. Central Park is so beautiful. Would recommend to everyone.
Just what I wanted!
Michelle_M, Sep 2023
I was looking for a relaxing, beautiful, friendly ride through Central Park and this was exactly what I hoped for. The driver was friendly, gave plenty of information but also just let us take it in and relax. The horse had some character which we loved. Ismail took pictures for us and offered to stop in places for picture opportunities that he knew were popular. I would recommend Ismail to anyone wanting a carriage ride through Central Park.
Got to try it if in NEW YORK

Luis and duke were awesome. Really enjoyed our tour through Central Park. Check off our bucket list.
Big Disappointment- Not worth the money/Not what is advertised.
Liz_M, Jul 2023
We received a message on the morning of our booking from Zere to advise us of the rising heat temperatures predicted for the day and was given options to rearrange or cancel. It was my birthday so we rearranged for an earlier time from 2pm to 11am. Our carriage driver Luis was Not what we were expecting…. We had x1 photo stop, the information he gave was mainly about the celebrities and where they reside. The experience was boring and definitely Not worth £167.00 (after 10% discount). We would advise to negotiate on the day to get a much lower price than we paid Or book one of the peddle booth, the customer appeared much happier and enjoying their ride around the park. Luis appeared more bothered about eating his lunch than his customers he was supposed to be providing a service for. This tour was supposed to be one of our highlights of the day, it Spoilt our special day!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
This rescheduling was due to high temperatures. It is a measure that New York City authorities implement to protect the horses. This info is included in the product description and we also reach out to the customers as soon as we receive the suspension notification. We offer an alternative time or date or full refund. We kindly ask that you consider removing this review. We will be happy to serve you in the future.
Excellent!

We had a great experience!! Our guide was very knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming! Our horse Dante and the carriage are just beautiful, and we were provided a blanket for warmth throughout our ride. We learned a lot about Central Park and surrounding buildings/neighborhoods from guide too.
