We had an amazing Central Park horse carriage ride! Ronnie was intelligent, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the park, especially all the famous movie scenes that were filmed there. He made the ride both entertaining and informative. We had fun. I highly recommend requesting Ronnie—you’re guaranteed to have a great time!

We enjoyed the horse carriage ride along the NY Central Parkway. The park was very lively and loving, and well str. We received review of historical buildings and restaurants around the park. We spent 45 minutes for the ride, we stopped at the lake, watched the canoe ride and took nice pictures with my wife and children. We also took pictures with the horse and carriage. At the final stop we enjoyed feeding the horse some carrots and took family pictures with her. There were different events taking place at various arenas, people riding bikes, horses carriages, and everyone running ups and downs the park. It’s a beautiful park that is filled with live activities. We all enjoyed it and will come back again.

Lovely, classic NYC...

Central Park carriage ride

Layne_J, Jun 2026
talking with the driver of the carriage, the horses are well cared and rotated on a daily basis so that they’re not always pulling contrary to what people say on social media. It was a very pleasant ride through Central Park.

Perfect!!!

Trennetta_M, Jun 2026
Fred was an excellent horse carriage driver!!! Roads were closed on our path and Fred ways around them so we could enjoy our tour. I would recommend him again.

Emre was fun and knowledgeable. Really enjoyed our ride with him. He took us to all the hot spots, pointed out landmarks and movie and TV shoot locations, and gave us plenty of time to stop and take photos.

Marc_G, Apr 2026
Very relaxing but very informative. Great way to see the park and determine areas we would like to go back to and spend more time. Loved our guide Emre and his horse Oreo. So glad we did this!

Even though it was a cold day. The horses were so beautiful. Fred the tour guide was very knowledgeable and such a great guy. Took his time and even had us feed Michelle our horse for the day.

March Trip

Jake_M, Mar 2026
Well informed tour. Henry did a great job of letting the kids pet the horse and stopping a few times for extra pictures. Definitely recommend the longer tour that includes a couple of streets outside the park.

We had such a wonderful time and Fred was a great host. I highly recommend this for any first time visitors to New York. It’s a great way to see Central Park!

Amazing!

Megan_C, Mar 2026
It’s definitely worth the experience! The driver Fred was amazing. The horse Justin was absolutely cute.

Nothing like a clip-clop through Central Park

OvedeLevi_L, Feb 2026
Fred was fantastic. We got a great historical overview of the area and he pointed out several spots from famous film scenes. There's nothing like a carriage ride through Central Park, even in the freezing cold – and my god it was cold – and nobody better than Fred to conduct it. Highly recommend!

Nice!

Belen_P, Feb 2026

It was a bit windy so could not see all of Central Park ,overall the experience was great and our driver was very informative.

Magical

Jessica_H, Jan 2026
Such a lovely experience. The driver was friendly and asked for input on the experience we wanted to insure we enjoyed everything.

Ok ride.

Jonathan_C, Jan 2026
Dress appropriately when is cold and breezy. They have a blanket but not heated, when it said they will provide a heated blanket. The blanket also smelled really bad. Nico was nice. You get to feed a carrot to the horse at the end. Not worth what you pay for.

Ronnie & Oreo

Morag_M, Jan 2026
We had a fantastic horse drawn carriage tour around Central Park. Ronnie was very pleasant, friendly and had great local knowledge! Thoroughly recommend both Ronnie & Oreo (of course!)

10/10 recommended family experience

Jynette_Q, Jan 2026
This was a great way to see so much of central park without extra walking. Kamal and King Gypsy were amazing and knowledgeable and we were so grateful for his fun facts and photography skills. Whether you have a short timeline or time to peruse, this is a 10/10 for you and the family. Highlight of the family trip.

Our Carriage Driver was so nice and informative, i feel he went above and beyond, we all saw a lady dropped her purse and was getting into her ride and he madecsure she disnt leave it behind, he got their attention and she retrieved it, he was so nice. A Gentleman. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the Christmas lights.

We enjoyed the ride.
