Our carriage ride through Central Park was truly one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide, Oscar, and his beautiful horse, Strawberry, made the entire experience unforgettable. Oscar was incredibly knowledgeable about the park and he pointed out famous landmarks, shared interesting history, and highlighted movie locations that my kids immediately recognized and loved. He made the ride engaging for everyone, and you could tell how much he cared about both the park and Strawberry. The pace was relaxing, the views were beautiful, and the commentary made the experience feel personal and special. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC, and especially recommend requesting Oscar and Strawberry. They helped create a wonderful memory for our family, and we’re so glad we booked this experience!
Awesome experience

Oscar was very knowledgeable about Central Park and was eager to share his knowledge. My Granddaughter is autistic and loves horses. She was able to feed "Strawberry" the carrots we brought. Great time!

Worth every minute. Exceeded the tour description experience. Matt, was the tour guide for horse drawn carriage ride, who delivered an unforgettable experience. The horse was extremely taken care of and was rewarded regularly with horse treats-Veterinarian approved:) Matt, provided an excellent historical overview from the past, the present to the future. It is especially suggested to check the weather forecast within 48 hours for timing for the best weather. In addition, a horse drawn carriage ride during the week not around holidays is also suggested for a quite amazing experience with Preston’s weather conditions! Central Park was soo quiet, all we could hear is the sound of our horses hoofs trotting along the pathway. We will be booking again with Victor and Matt for our horse drawn carriage ride.
Disappointing carriage ride….

We booked a VIP Christmas carriage ride for 50 mins. The trip around the park was lovely but unlike other carriages, there were no Xmas decorations which didn’t spoil it for us but our trip only lasted 35 mins so we felt cheated given we had paid for 50mins….
Carriage is not for 5 adults

The website charges you per person and allows 5 people per carriage which was the size of our group so I booked it. The day before I got a text that we would need to take 2 carriages and pick a different time then what was available on the website. I asked if it was the same price and was told it was but the person texting me meant it was the same price the second time so we had a rude surprise at the end of our carriage ride when we found out we had to pay an additional $160 and oh yeah an additional $10 for using a credit card. The carriage ride was a lot of fun though.
