5.00Wonderful ride through Central Park and 5th Avenue with Niko as our driver, who provided carrots for my granddaughter to give to gentle Stella. Even though the temperature was in the teens, we were warm in the thick blankets he had ready. Very personable and knowledgeable- the perfect ending to our holiday celebration! Highly recommend!
Thank you Niko for a wonderful night 😊🐴

5.00Just a very pleasant and fun experience. Being able to see the Christmas lights and around the city this way was so much more enjoyable than in a car. Niko was the gentlemen that brought us around and he even dropped us right off at our hotel entry. Great experience and would tell anyone in NYC to take this ride!!!
Bucket list item complete!

5.00My niece and I took a carriage ride last night in New York .. We started our journey in Central Park and went through the downtown area. It was an amazing tour and our driver, Mohammed was the best ever. He had the carriage buggy decorated for Christmas and music to match. He let us pet the horse and feed it carrots after the ride. We really enjoyed his attendances to us as customers and would definitely recommend his tour to anyone that wants to treat themselves to a very fun experience.
