5.00This tour was absolutely amazing! My parents surprised us with a horse carriage ride through Central Park, and we truly enjoyed every moment of it. Our driver, Onur, was not only incredibly kind but also hilarious — he had us laughing the whole time! He went above and beyond by taking plenty of beautiful photos and videos for us, making the experience even more special. The ride was peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. It was a perfect way to experience Central Park in a unique and memorable way. Highly recommend it!

1.00My entire reservation was screwed up. Instead of giving me the time that I requested (3:00pm). They scheduled me for 10:00am and would not change it or refund my $205. So me and my wife, who by the way was Celebrating her birthday , had to readjust our plans to accommodate them. Never again
Worth it!
