My family and I had a great experience on our carriage ride with this company! I highly recommend you take their advice seriously in not getting confused or distracted by other carriage rides that will impose themselves on you.

An unforgettable experience! The NYC carriage ride through Central Park was magical. The staff was friendly, and the horses were well cared for. Perfect for special occasions or just enjoying the city's beauty. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience going for a ride with my family. Our "driver" had great detailed knowledge of Central Park. Friendly and courteous and our horse, Winter Breeze, was fantastic. Highly recommended when visiting NYC and booking a horse & carriage ride in Central Park. Thanks for a great experience.

Fantastic experience. Our guide Emre was kind and a great host. He took some beautiful pictures of us that we will cherish for a long time. This is our second time using NYHCR and I have no regrets. Will use again!

For every recommendation to everyone. The woman who drove us, was very helpful and the carriage was like from a fairy tale. Simply magical and really completes the whole experience of New York.

Alexus and Starlight were amazing! We had a great trip. Beautiful horse, and very caring and informative driver. It was a great addition to our NYC trip!

We did a night ride with my wife and her 96 year old mother in a wheelchair! The driver was extremely patient, cordial and engaging, which removed all our anxieties and allowed us to enjoy the trip. The information was interesting, the experience unforgettable. Glad to give 5 stars since 6 are not possible.

What a fantastic way to see Central Park. You're able to relax and take in the sights. The horses with this company are very well taken care of, friendly, and I got to feed ours carrots. Our driver was great, knowledgeable about NYC.
Kat Harris
Christine was an excellent tour guide. Very friendly and shared lots of history and fun facts about what we were seeing. Sherman was a gentleman of a horse. Absolutely a lovely time!

Fun experience. Our guides, Josh and Alexis, were both informative and entertaining.
Jennifer Miller
Best way to experience central park!
Kaitlyn Kenner
Would definitely recommend both driver and horse made the memorable. The company cares enough about their teams to pull them in and then helped to reschedule us to still be able to enjoy this part of trip.
Lisa Harman
My grand-daughters and I loved our tour of Central Park.
Thank you Josh and Starlight.
John Wright
It was a truly memorable experience! Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable, and the horse (Lady Liberty) was wonderful. I had misgivings about how the horses were treated, but after talking with the driver, and doing a little research, realized they actually are treated VERY well. I would definitely recommend this!
Melanie Mason
Our carriage ride was amazing. Our driver was very informative during the ride. He took some pics of us using 1 of our phones so that we didn't have to do those awkward selfie. This is a must do if it is your 1st time to NYC.
Marshall Coleman
Fantastic experience. Have done other rides before and this exceeded those. Friendly knowledgeable driver who was excellent at telling us everything about the park and the city, both history and current. The icing on the cake were all the fantastic photos he took of our family. Can’t recommend enough.

We are repeat customers—though our rides were seven years apart. Consistently reliable and enjoyable, we had relaxing rides in Central Park in 2017 and 2024. I appreciate the very specific and clear instructions to find the correct company at the meeting spot and advice on how to avoid potentially distracting huckster fraud. When paying ahead online for a service in NYC, I always fear the company is fictitious and won’t be at the meeting spot and I’ll be out money with no recourse. I specifically chose this company a second time precisely because of their reliability and service in 2017.

Our carriage driver, George, and Lady Liberty, our horse, made for a very informative and beautiful ride through Central Park. This was the hi-lite of our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration. The knowledge George had about the park was amazing. His insight of the Dakota and Strawberry Fields designed by Yoko Onno was not only insightful, but correct. This is a day that we'll remember forever.
Heather Powell
We had the most magical time. Our tour guide was amazing. The city at night is beautiful. Our carriage was very comfortable.
Bonnie Amson
We had a wonderful time!

Thank You.

I live in Massachusetts, but brought my mother and great niece, who live in the South, to visit Manhattan. The highlight of the trip for my niece was the carriage ride with NYC Horse Carriage Rides. The reservation process was painless. The information that they texted to us helped to navigate the way there while avoiding scammers. When we got there, the driver helped us all into the carriage. Because my mother and I had trouble getting in and out of the carriage, he stopped and took photos for us with my phone. Definitely went above and beyond. He was knowledgeable, even answering questions not on script, funny, and personable. I would happily do one of these tours again.

Our experience was perfect. Henry did a great job explaining many aspects of Central Park. It was so interesting. We loved his gentle treatment of Winter Breeze.

My daughters and I were visiting NYC and we reserved a horse and carriage ride with NYC Horse Carriage Rides. We had a great time. They stopped so we could take photos, see the water fountain in Central Park, and so they could give the horse food and water so she could have a break. Our guides gave us information about Central Park and NYC and some guidance of places to visit. The horses seemed to be well cared for and we had a great time! I would recommend this company! We did have some difficulty finding this company when we went to the spot where the horses are waiting. Some of the signs have this logo on the back of them so you aren't able to see it, you could show them the logo and ask if they are part of this company!

What a great way to start our trip to NYC, with a relaxing horse and carriage ride round Central Park. Christina, our driver gave us loads of great information and background about the park and its history, and Sherman did a brilliant job of taking us on our 45 minute tour. We appreciated the opportunities to stop and take some photos, and also the fact that they were very accommodating and understanding when we had to change our departure time due to a hold up. Easy to book from the UK and a thoroughly enjoyable experience - thank you!
