It was a great...

Felix_H, Dec 2025
It was a great experience. The horse handler was very knowledgeable in the history of New York. which made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Enjoyable Ride

Based on the email communication, it was a little difficult to initially find the meeting point. Once in carriage the driver shared stories, we moved at a pleasant pace while covered under a blanket, the driver took some photos of us, and returned in a timely manner.

Relaxing and peaceful!

This was a very nice ride for a family, and I think it would be very romantic for a couple. Overall,, we did enjoy it and we especially liked interacting with the horse before and after the ride. We also appreciated the rider for waiting for us as we were running behind. He was patiently waiting and ready for us when we arrived. Due to rushing we did not get coffee, chai or wine, which I think would have enhanced the experience and relaxation after a long day in time square! Nevertheless, it was fine! It's all what you make it and if I had the chance, I would do it again.

Horse ride

Jamal was such a nice young man. He was also knowledgeable about the park and surroundings. This was my favorite part of my trip to NY.

Disappointed and frustrated

Heather_R, Jul 2023
A hour before our appointment I received a phone call that all rides were suspended due to heat. Which I understand. What I don’t understand is why my money was taken ….$250 and it’s gonna take 3 days for a refund. If they knew at 11 am all rides were suspended then they should t have continued to book for the day. We planned our evening around that ride…..you only visit NYC for a limited amount of time….do t waste my time or money! Be upfront and honest on your bookings!

5 stars

Bucket List Carriage Ride in Central Park

Cathey_M, Dec 2022
I wish I could remember the name of our tour guide. He did a great job! Took pictures of us. Stopped and explained areas. Offered for us to get out a couple of times to look at sites better. Very entertaining. Found out so many things about the area. Very interesting. He even made seeing rats in Central Park funny. We all had a great experience!!

Fun experience

Our driver showed up...

Sandra_H, Dec 2021
Our driver showed up late, which was irritating but forgivable. But then the 45-50 minute ride was less than 30 minutes.

Wonderful experience

Noah was very entertaining and informative about the park and surrounding buildings. Would recommend Top Hat. Thank you Noah

Es war ein sehr schönes...

Lukas_R, Apr 2024
Es war ein sehr schönes Erlebnis. Der Fahrer hat zuerst gefragt, ob er uns ein etwas über den Central Park erzählen soll oder ob wir lieber unsere Ruhe hätten. Da wir gerne mehr erfahren wollten, hat er uns dann zu bestimmten Orten etwas erzählt. Er war sehr zuvorkommend und hat sich auch grosse Mühe gegeben, Fotos von uns an schönen Orten zu machen.
