Oliver and company ( we had 2 carriages)
Were very friendly and welcoming! They knew interesting things about Central Park in New York and the ride was a very relaxing way to see such a large area. The kids loved the horses and carriages were comfortable. Definetly a highlight of our visit.

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!

Really great carriage ride through Central Park. John was our driver and he was incredibly informative. Dallas was our horse. Though Dallas did not say much it was obvious he was very fond of carrots. We highly recommend them both.

Oliver and Bazooka took us for our carriage ride around central park today. Oliver was prompt and messaged me prior to our scheduled time to advise of where to meet. Oliver was very helpful and informative and answered all our questions. This was a most peaceful ride around the park and the snow happened to make it feel magical. Nothing was too much. Thank you so much

Tour was not as long as advertised and posted rates were significantly less than what we paid. It was very difficult to hear our guide when he was speaking.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you joined us, and we’d love to know how we can improve to make your next experience even better.

Super fun activity! Went with our adult children. John our driver was great! Gave us fun info about all the things we passed. He took photos of our group before and during the ride. He took good care of his horse with food and water stops! Fun experience!

Driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. Blankets were provided and that was nice. I wish we had done a daytime tour. The night city skyline was awesome, but it is dark in the park.

Driver was great. Horse and carriage were great. It was a sunny Dec. day and we still needed the provided blanket.
Just FYI, you can walk to the pick up spot in Central Park across from NY Athletic club and hire a carriage. It will save you about $80.

We had a wonderful experience. It brought back a lot memories as a child. It was enhanced by my girlfriend’s first time to NYC, just seeing her wide eyes as we went around the park was priceless. We had a wonderful time.

Our driver was wonderful. He pointed out many park landmarks and stopped to take photos for us. He let us get out and explore certain areas as well.
I would definitely book another experience!
