I don’t even know what to say because they took my money without providing services to me. When I call for a refund they have told me that I was not allowed to be refunded well , take it as yall want cause I know God will give me 7 times of the money y’all took from me.

John our driver was very knowledgeable of the park. Magnolia was a lovely well behaved horse and it was good to know that she is taken good care of. The trip was shortened slightly as it became too hot for the horse but we didn’t mind at all. Really pleased they think about the horse’s welfare.

Adam was WONDERFUL!!! Was very kind and helped my mom who was in a wheelchair get into the carriage and then stored the wheelchair up front so we could enjoy the ride! Pointed out all the spots where movie were made and was very engaging. Loved the ride!

We had such an enjoyable ride with our driver Adam and our horse Jersey. Adam was very nice and fantastic about contacting us to let us know exactly where to meet him. He even sent a picture of the carriage so we would know which was his. He was very knowledgeable about the park, answered all our questions, stopped and took pictures of us as a family, and let our girls feed Jersey some carrots. It was a very peaceful and pleasant experience. I would recommend it if you don’t have time to walk around Central Park. We hit all the highlights we were wanting to see.
