3.00No fault of the company, but our carriage ride was cancelled due to weather. They are refunding our money due to us leaving the next day and being unable to reschedule.

4.00I recommend if you are taking carriage ride for evening Christmas light stroll dont do Central Park carriage ride. The park has no lights and rink was closed, so was small souvenir shop. Recommend going with more daylight. Driver shared lots of details and history that made ride nice though. Do plan on dressing warm, blanket (which was provided was soaked with drizzle and cold winds through ride.
Amazing

5.00It was a wonderful experience. It was a tour of Central Park. The tour guide was very nice and gave us the history of everything in and around the park, he also allowed us to feed the horse and stopped for a photo op at no extra charge.
