What are people saying about New York City

Jahrie_G, Mar 2026

The trip was really nice,...

The trip was really nice, the company communicated very clearly with us on the drop off point and helped us find everything. Our rider was well educated with knowledge of the park and the horse was cool as well. 10/10 experience and my girlfriend loved so I would say it was amazing!

A great way to see Central Park!

We had the best experience with our guide Oliver and his horse Max! Oliver shared so many interesting stories about the park and pointed out all of the famous spots. He allowed us plenty of time to get out and take great pictures. Max was very sweet and you can tell he is very well taken care of! I would highly recommend this company for a ride in Central Park! We had a blast!

USS Intrepid and a rainy cold Friday in February

Great place for someone with interest in military, American History or airplanes. It was kids week so there were a lot of extra activities for smaller children. We made it through (sans kids week activities) the ship and submarine in about 3 hours. Due to the time of year and crappy weather (cold heavy rain) and no lines we didn't have to wait more than 5 mins for anything. We will go back again as several family members mentioned interest when we got home. Its clear that better weather brings much much larger crowds and with it longer lines.

New York City Christmas Lights Private Horse Carriage Ride

Breathtaking, smooth, comfy ride!

Highly recommend this private Horse and carriage Christmas Lights ride through Central Park and then down 5th Ave. It was truly breathtaking. Our driver, Atakan, was absolutely fabulous. He was super kind, took pictures of us on the carriage at a couple of stops, and gave us information on the places we passed by. The ride was smooth, comfortable and very relaxing. He even let my daughter connect to the speaker to play music!! She loved that! The kids also got to feed the horse, Freddy, when we got back to the drop off location. It was PHENOMENAL!! Highly recommend!!

Great Add on!

We wanted an add on to our visit to the city with our little ones. Kevin and Mr. Sam were amazing. We had a great time. As Native New Yorkers we never took advantage of this New York tradition and were excited to share it with our children. Home alone 2 is one of our favorite holiday movies and we stopped by a few of the movie spots.
