A horse called Flash

Crystal_D, Mar 2024
We loved our driver and our horse "Flash"! It was my first time visiting central park and this was definitely a great way to see lots of the park in a short amount of time.

Very enjoyable.

Beautiful park. Knowledgeable driver. Too expensive for the time. I was told 45 minutes..more like 35 minutes.

Beautiful ride

It was beautiful just riding though the park. It was a nice experience. It did start to rain at the end but didn't take away frome the riding experience.

This was a very enjoyable informative ride thru the park. I think it made a difference because our driver was easy to interact with which made the ride that much more pleasant. I would definitely recommend this tour.

great tour we only booked the short tour but ended paying more through viator than we would have done just walking up and taking the tour for some reason, when you get there extend the tour to the hour it is well worth it.

I would thoroughly recommend this tour...

Unmet works for Troy Carriages and they are amazing. First of all the Driver, Ummet was so polite and professional. He was an absolute pleasure to be with and was very warm and personal. The park is great and I would highly recommend this attraction. But for my dollar Troy Carriages is the way to go. You will have other choices, but these guys have it going on. The owner was very helpful and kind in taking my calls and helping set up the driver for me. Troy was the epitome of a small business owner who cares for and takes care of his customers. I wish there was 6 stars I could give these guys. Afterwards Ummet was done with his shift and took us down 7th avenue a few blocks and dropped us off at a nice diner as he went back to the horse barn to drop of Dennis. Just can't thank Ummet and Troy Carriages enough for the wonderful experience they provided my family. Be sure to do what we did and call an hour or so before you just show up to arrange for a time that will work for you and your driver so there are no delays. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Ummet and Troy.

We had a great time. Very romantic. And also our guide was pretty awesome. She pointed out really cool things about the city as we travelled along. Really really cool!

mom2dcb, Aug 2017
This was a great start to our visit to New York City. The person who was supposed to do the tour said we didn't call him so he wasn't available until 1pm it was 9:30am. There was nothing in the confirmation paperwork that said we needed to call to book a certain time. I told him we had a different tour planned for 1pm. He went over and talked to a different guide who was available. I was so glad because he was fabulous! He slowed or stopped for photos, and had tons of trivia information about the city, the buildings, the park and historical events. Other than the private tour of the Financial District, this was the highlight of our visit.

Lovely tour worth doing and fairly easy...
