This was a wonderful experience. We had to adjust our time and they were more than accommodating. Driver was kind, knowledgeable and professional. We truly enjoyed our experience.

We had the best time. An hour in Central Park was not long enough. Our driver and sweet horse were such a joy and the carriage was beautiful. Will do again.

A great introduction to New York. The driver, Christine, was friendly and very informative. The horse, Sherman, was very sweet and gentle. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride
Kathy Bolin
Arrived early to make sure we knewwhere to meet the driver and Carriage. Easy to find and since we were first of the day our driver suggested we just leave before the crowds in the park. It was so fun, peaceful with Mark the driver providing interesting information but not talking all the time. It was truly a highlight of our weekend.

We had a WONDERFUL time! Troy was a fantastic guide and we could tell Handsome Jack was well cared for.
Mary Benson
Carriage ride and driver were excellent. So thorough on directions to get to the right site and company. Great email and text communications and answering questions. Driver-Josh was so pleasant and made it one of the highlights of our trip.
Lori Mattice
LOVED this carriage ride! We thouroughly enjoyed this tour as our guide had so much information regarding the park! Plus she brought carrotts for us to give the horse a little treat! She was ontime, and even though it was raining we really enjoyed our time. It was everything we thought it would be and more~ Thanks for a wonderful memory!
Colin Apps
Lovely evening trip around the park with Rich and Sophia with a couple of photo stops and lots of interesting places pointed out. Rich was chatty and informative. Sophia had a mischievous character who decided when we would stop and when it was time to move on.
Excellent communications, instructions on how to find them and text reminders beforehand so very pleased we booked with NYC Horse Carriage Rides. A lovely memory to take home with us.
Sherry Diehr
Wonderful ride. The driver was a blast to visit with and knew so much about the city and the park. Loved it!
Eli Rivera
The surprise proposal went perfect. Thank you for making our day so special. Everyone was very professional. The pics and video came out perfect as well. Highly recommend.

Nice experience, views of the city and park. The tour was a little short to me. Our guide was funny, and Venus (the horse) was sweet.

NYC Horse Carriage Rides EST. 1979 Review: Nice/sweet driver, pretty, well-cared for horse, beautiful views. I brought 3 people, one of whom hates touristy things. Partway through the ride he confessed he liked the pace of the tour. It is truly lovely "clopping" through the park enjoying the nature, the architecture and the people. My first time in NYC, I had three New Yorkers with me & we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you, Frank & Alexa, for having an ethical company & sharing this timeless experience.

Highly recommend! Our guide and her horse were amazing. It was a lovely way to give my kids a way to relax their feet on a museum day, and learn about the park where so many of our favorite films were filmed!
Stacy Dodson
An amazing experience and our guide was wonderful. She was so informative and knowledgeable and the hour just flew by. Thank you for making this such a memorable part of our trip!

I had a wonderful time on the horse and carriage. Our driver Robert was excellent. If I was to do it again I would request for the same driver.
Randy Hagedorn
NYC Horse Carriage Rides was fantastic... a top notch organization! I booked one of the Central Park Bow Bridge proposal packages and proposed to my girlfriend (she said "Yes!") on a beautiful evening! Mr. Rob and Aurora (the horse) helped me pull off a surprise proposal and make a wonderful memory that will last the rest of our lives. Thank you again for everything! You guys are the best!

Thanks very much, we really enjoyed the ride and were glad to see the horses are well loved and cared for. Thanks to lovely Billy, our horse for the ride and our informative and friendly driver.

We had the pleasure of being guided by Henry and the beautiful Lady Liberty. Henry was incredibly knowledgeable on all things Central Park. From the penthouses to the park designers to the movies that were filmed there, Henry blew us away with all of that information.
On top of that, he took some amazing photos of our family at the beautiful photo stops along the way.
We will absolutely be back and we highly, highly recommend NYC Carriage Rides!

Amazing ride!! We had the best time- thank goodness for the blankets. We booked a tour with 2 stops. Great value and loved the notes about the park along the way. Would absolutely recommend
Nicola James
Easy booking experience and directions meant it was no problem to find our pick up point. We loved the experience especially our girls. Lady Liberty was a gorgeous horse - so gentle and happy to be petted. You could tell she was really looked after too. The guide knew loads about the park and took pride in his work. Would recommend.
Elizabeth Mitchell
We really enjoyed our carriage ride our tour guide was fantastic and told us lots of information about the park and took lots of photos of us all when we asked. Thank you.
Jonathan Parrish
Very educated coachman.
D Lombardi
I totally recommend using this company. They were very professional, met and exceeded our expectations! The coach drivers were entertaining and diligent with all. There were some weather issues, but we were kept well informed, and the schedule was adjusted accordingly. There were 2 coaches involved since it was also a wedding proposal so there was more than just a ride involved but all was handled in an exceptional manner and turned out beautiful with the other professionals - music, photographer and videographer involved. Would use them again!
Raheem Israel
We had a great time! My wife and I had never experienced the carriage rides before.
Ms. Christine and "King" were great! Ms. Christine stopped the carriage ride to take great photographs for us. Ms. Christine gave some insight knowledge of the various buildings during our tour. Ms. Christine was professional, and courteous, she really enhanced our wonderful experience ❤️
We look forward to future rides this summer.
Chris Shireman
Great 60 minute afternoon ride with Josh and Winter! Informative and humorous driver. 3 stops for photos!
Worthwhile experience for the price!!

Absolutely amazing. We had traveled all the way from Scotland to spend time in NY before our cruise and I had booked this carriage ride before we left. I had researched all the carriage companies in NY and NYC always had great reviews and I'd read their history so felt comfortable booking them. They were very accommodating when I needed to change our booking time and gave us great information and directions of where and when to be at Central Park. Alexis was such a joy to have as our carriage driver. She was funny and articulate and very knowledgeable and had some great fun facts to share. The horse (I forgot her name, I am so sorry!) was a beautiful chestnut mare. She was well looked after and very much adored by Alexis. We stopped a few times to have photos taken by Alexis and weren't rushed when we wanted to take photos ourselves.
It was the highlight of our trip to Newyork for my husbands 50th. The weather had been terrible before and after but during our trip round central park the rain stayed away and we had a great morning being shown round.
I would highly recommend doing this and try and ask for Alexis to be your guide, it's well worth the sore faces from smiling
Scott Martin

Great experience! Highly recommend this company. They allowed several opportunities to step out of the carriage and take photos during the ride. Driver was so kind and informative! There are a ton of carriages around Central Park - refer to the email for the specific street to find them!
