Loved the Carriage

Great Experience

Great ride and the driver was very informative. This made the experience even more exciting. I would do it again on my next trip to NYC.

Comfortable but pricey.

Great way to see the perimeter of Central Park in a comfortable setting. Our guide was friendly and so was our horse! Included a couple of stops for photo ops and some carrots to feed at the end. Did not take the full allotted time. It is a little pricey for what we actually got for just 2 people. Would be more worthwhile if you have group of 4.
