Romantic Carriage Ride

My husband and I had the most amazing experience with our driver Leo and horse Lucky! We have been married for 22 years and went back to the city to celebrate our anniversary. It was the most perfect day in the city, perfect weather, and Leo was very informative. We decided since we were ending at the Tavern on the Green that we would make reservations! It worked out perfectly for brunch after our ride and then we walked through the park after to head back to our car. Leo made 2 stops on our ride and took so many pictures for us. Would definitely recommend!!!

Great tour! We had the best time!! Must do when visiting NYC!

We had so much fun! Definitely a must do experience when visiting NY. We learned some fun facts about the park and the city and our carriage driver happened to also have been included in a famous film in NY and that was very memorable for us!
