We had a wonderful trip around Central Park! Alexus was so much fun and full of informative facts! This was my third trip with NYC Carriage Rides and every time has been fun, full of laughter and lots of enjoyment! Highly Recommend!

We were in NY for the first time and was so excited to include a carriage ride in our adventure. I had been searching Google and came across this company and was pleased with the way horses were treated, including vacation time annually in PA, not far from me in Ohio. The online reservation was very user friendly in addition to finding our horse and driver. Our tour guide, Christina, was fabulous, great with the history of Central Park and information about NY buildings along the roads to Rockerfeller and through out. That was a plus as I thought it was just a ride, not realizing a tour was included. The picture she took of us in the carriage as well as allowing us to get another Pic with our horse William, made the trip extra special. William sure enjoyed his carrots for a tip and trip well done. Considering it was first weekend in January 2025, having the blankets for our laps helped us stay warm. I would definitely do this again. A

One of the most memorable times of my trip to NYC, taking my mom for a week stay in NYC for her 80th birthday, she still talks about this part of the trip. Thank you!

Thank you Letti! My wife and I had an amazing experience. We did the hour long evening ride the day after New Years. Our horse Sophia was a sweetheart, and our driver Letti was the best! Everything as described. Thoughtful and considerate. Private and romantic. Warm blankets and a great guide. Thank you!

This was our 3rd ride with NYC Horse Carriage Rides in the last 9 years. They are the best! Every driver we have had has taught us something new about the city we love. Mark was our latest driver and we really enjoyed him!
Joe Plaisance
Troy, our driver, was very knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. “Handsome Jack” was a perfect gentleman who allowed us to hand feed him the treats that we brought with us for the occasion. 10/10 Would definitely ride again and would recommend to anybody who asks.
Sheila Rea
The carriage ride was fun for the adults and kids. The driver was very personable and gave us lots of great information about the park. He took photos for us, too. The ride was shorter than expected (about 35 min), but we enjoyed it!

A really great experience, all perfect. Our driver was already waiting for us when we arrived and made sure we were comfy and cosy before we set off. Great commentary and several photo opportunities as well as a treat to give the horse at the end. Highly recommend this trip

Arriving at Central Park with snow on the ground was a magical site, this was further made very special by our carriage ride around the moon lit park. Our guide was friendly, informative and respectful of both us and the lovely Sam (the horse). We certainly seen sites we would have surly missed otherwise. We will definitely be repeating this upon our next visit to wonderful New York City
Deanna Hite
Our carriage ride was so amazing!! The buggy was comfortable fireball 4 of us and we stayed warm with the heavy blankets provided. Henery our Driver was very welcoming, very informative about the history of the park and landmarks and took the most gorgeous pictures of our family! Lady Liberty the horse was so smart and so sweet. I truly enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to anyone! 10/10! Thanks so much for the amazing experience for our family!
Ashley Palermo
We had the best experience with Josh. He was just absolutely amazing and knowledgeable! We got to know about his life and he got to know us! He took beautiful photos of us, horse Starlight was stunning and friendly. Thick blankets are provided bc it was very cold! Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing ride. Definitely once in a lifetime experience. Kids enjoyed more than I thought even as a local, I seen things I haven’t seen and learned some other fun facts! Thank you an again guys!!! definitely recommend!
Al Mora
We made our annual trip to NYC. We had the purple carriage. Our pictures were awesome. I forgot our drivers name. He was great and didn’t talk a lot. Sometimes we get drivers that talk too much. Overall, very satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking to take the carriage ride in Central Park.
Scott Coppedge
It was a great way to spend a late afternoon early evening in NYC. The driver was very knowledgeable on the history of central park and the surrounding area. Sherman our horse was very cute and patient with us as we made many stops. It was 2 weeks before Christmas and it was very chilly. We were provided with a warm blanket to keep us warm. I learned more about NYC and central park than I could from any history channel show. By the time the ride was over it was dark and we took in all the Christmas lights on our walk back to the hotel. This was a highlight of our trip to New York.
Lorie Chell
Wonderful place and wonderful memories made. And one of the main reasons I love this company is because they don’t take their horses through all of the traffic and craziness during Christmas. We loved our drivers and even the crabby old horse Rudy.
