We had booked our carriage ride for our visit in early November. It ended up being a sunny beautiful day. Our horse was Starlight and she looked beautiful and healthy. We had booked the 3 stops 1 hour photo tour. Our driver/guide used an odd voice for his narration, but I get it, it was his style. He gave us a little history, but pointed out mostly movie locations shot in the park.
We have some great pictures and memories. Carriage rides are very touristy, but for our first time in Manhattan, it was perfect. We had very precise and clear instructions on the meeting location, email confirmation from the company and a great experience. I am assuming that each driver has their own style of tour and narration or points of interest that are what they like to share, so we didn't dislike our driver/guide. We would have just preferred a deeper dive on the history.
And that is extremely nit picky
We had an amazing time and I will recommend this specific carriage company to anyone in the future. But they may not be blessed with the amazing weather we experienced!
