2.00Finding our carriage was pretty confusing and I know we did not end up with the guide/carriage that we were supposed to have. Although Marco was pleasant and pointed out places along the way, we only stopped at the fountain, not at the other two stops which were supposed to be included in Private VIP carriage ride we booked. Additionally, the ride was supposed to be 50 minutes and from start to finish it was only 35 minutes. There are many carriage ride companies to choose from and I wouldn't book with them again as we did not get what we paid for, sadly.
It was a nice experience....

5.00It was a nice experience. Stopped at several places to take photos. It was fun to interact with the horse and also feed it,
Don’t book through this company.

1.00Do not book with this company. Just walk up and book directly with a horse and carriage. We had a VIP booking scheduled 2 weeks in advance for 7pm. We had a very tight window schedule as it was a two day trip and wanted to do everything with a schedule. Broadway show, specific tours and times. They texted me the day before saying they didn’t have enough horses and drivers on a Saturday at 7pm. Which I ground very odd. They said the only time they could give me was 5:30pm. So I felt stuck seeing they already charged me. As we had an open few hours from 1pm-3pm that day I called and texted the number that changed my ride. I texted them 7 times and called them 3 times. Asking to move my ride because there is hundreds of horses available during this time. I even asked if there’s availability at 7 PM with horses standing around and they said absolutely. We don’t stop riding till 9 o’clock. With no response by the company, I decided to go and pay for another ride with my family as this was my 7 year olds wish and nobody was responding to move my original ride. At 5 PM the original ride operator finally responded and said he’ll be waiting at 5:50 PM for my 7 o’clock ride. Which I responded and said they cancelled my 7pm ride and moved it to 5:30. He then called me and said we can come now. I was very confused as was he but I told him the situation and he said “ok, I’ll tell the company” The whole thing was off. Please don’t use them to book a horse and carriage. Walk up to any part of Central Park and there’s hunters of horses and you can do it directly with them. There is no shortage of horses or riders or carriages.
