1.00Atakan, our driver was on his phone more than he spoke to us. We had to ask him questions to learn about our surroundings and about his horse. We learned more from the pedi tour guide riding next to us. The blankets STUNK. It was a terrible experience and though we received a partial refund from the company, I will never book with them again. Our first Central Park experience, ruined.
Completely worth it!

5.00Muhammad did an outstanding job keeping us warm and providing a great mix of history, along with some quite moments for us to take it all in. We did it later in the afternoon, would suggest you do it early afternoon for more visibility and keep later for a more romantic experience. Thanks Muhammad, see you next time we are in Manhattan!

5.00We booked the experience for Christmas night. The carriage was beautiful and roomy and the blankets were heavy and warm. Omar our driver and Victor our horse were very hospitable. Victor allowed us to feed him carrots and rub his beautiful mane. Omar was very knowledgeable about the park and shared historical context and information about the park and surrounding buildings. He was patient and stopped the carriage for photo opportunities. It was a very relaxing and beautiful experience.
First time ride - wonderful!
