A lovely romantic way to see the sites

Apart from the price being quite steep, we figured it was worth travelling Central Park in style, especially as were visiting New York for our 20th anniversary. We are so glad we splashed out on this, as it was a wonderful experience, and we probably saw more of the park than we would have if walking, due to my disability issues. The carriage was very clean and the horse was well cared for. The carriage operator was very informative and patient when it took me slightly longer to get into the carriage. The views were spectacular and we stopped a few times for us to get pictures with the landmarks around the park. Would definitely do this again, if we are fortunate to visit NY again.

Central Park carriage ride

talking with the driver of the carriage, the horses are well cared and rotated on a daily basis so that they’re not always pulling contrary to what people say on social media. It was a very pleasant ride through Central Park.

Perfect!!!

Fred was an excellent horse carriage driver!!! Roads were closed on our path and Fred ways around them so we could enjoy our tour. I would recommend him again.

A stroll through the memories of movie scenes.

You should ask the driver of the car to talk to you about the different movies filmed in Central Park and play the music from each movie to associate the filmed scene in that area.

Beautiful ride in Central Park.

Very clean and well maintained carriage, with a well cared for horse named Justin. Our driver was nice and knowledgeable and gave us just the right amount of information and conversation. Some nice picture stops. Beautiful time in the park as it is very green and perfect weather.

Fun and classic carriage tour with Emre

Emre was fun and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed our ride with him. He took us to all the hot spots, pointed out landmarks and movie and TV shoot locations, and gave us plenty of time to stop and take photos.
