Noah and Ponch gave us a wonderful tour of the park. Noah explained many details and provided an interesting narrative of locations and points of interest. We stopped for photos periodically. This is a great way to see a sense of the scope and beauty of the park.

Are you ready to embark on the ultimate adventure? Let me share my incredible experience with you! Imagine this: feeding carrots to horses and hopping into a stunning carriage ride through Central Park. The highlight of my trip was, without a doubt, our amazing driver, Mali. He was not just friendly; he was a fountain of knowledge, making our journey unforgettable!
I managed to snag the best deal on the Vidor website, and it was worth every penny for this extraordinary experience! As we glided through the park, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, I felt truly alive. There are plenty of horse carriages waiting at the park's entrances, just ready to whisk you away on this fantastic adventure.
If you visit Central Park, you absolutely must take a horse-drawn carriage ride—but trust me, you’ll want to book with Mali. It’s a magical experience that you’ll treasure for a lifetime! Don’t miss out!

Luis was an outstanding coach man and Duke was a gentle equine. We look forward to doing this again in the Spring time.

Our guide, Kevin was awesome! He was super knowledgeable about all aspects of the Park and very warm. He pointed out all the famous spots and stopped off so we could snap pictures. The ride was so comfortable and everything we’d hoped it would be. Kevin is such a welcoming person and made us feel very comfortable in the “big city”.
Special thanks to our handsome stead, Sam!

Luis was wonderful! He was friendly and informative. We had a beautiful ride through Central Park. It was a perfect ending to our trip to NYC.
Robert_K, Oct 2023
Our guide and his horse were great. Provided some good information about the park. Answered our questions and was ready and waiting for us even though we were a bit early. Driver only offered us to get off at one spot. Wanted to see Strawberry Field / Imagine / John Lennon Memorial, but wasn’t offered to stop there. It was neat to see the Dakota building where John Lennon lived though. The park is beautiful and you wouldn’t think you are in middle of NYC.

It was a nice experience to go round central
Park in a horse and carriage but it only lasted 40 mins and it was mainly only pointing out where a few scenes from films were done. Our driver was very nice and took some photos for us but it’s expensive for what it is

Our driver Honor was very friendly and very accommodating, we were running late and he was willing to wait for us, good communication and very knowledgeable of sites he pointed out for us. He took some excellent pictures of us with my iPhone too! Even dropped us off close to our hotel so we didn’t have to take an Uber, above and beyond!!I would highly recommend this driver and this experience to anyone visiting New York.

Rauf was an excellent host. He made our ride. I would recommend him as a guide! The Park was very dark and the lights from the city was beautiful.
Christy_T, Dec 2022
Luis was a great driver, very knowledgeable with lots of fun facts about the area and very friendly. The carriage was cozy with a warm blanket. His horse, Dante, was such a sweetie! We had a great time and would definitely recommend as a great way to see an overview of the park!

Dante(horse) and Luis (driver) were fantastic. Loved every minute of our ride! Stopped and took pictures at the Imagine circle where music was being played.
Jack_A, Dec 2022
Rauf was the best!!!! He shared lots of facts about Central Park. He cares for his horse, Whiskey. Rauf was friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Our experience wouldn’t have been as good if it weren’t for him. Rauf made our carriage ride through Central Park a life long dream come true. If you want to experience a magical carriage ride through Central Park, ask for Rauf!!!
