Well Run Company

Two couples shared a delightful 65 minute ride around Central Park with Josh, who told us some of the history of the park as we traveled. We had ample time to stop for photos too. I really liked how the company sent out a specific email indicating where to meet Josh for the ride. It is a very busy and confusing area. I was impressed that the company was on top of the rides and texted us to let us know Josh was running a few minutes late. Josh was a delight and I felt the company was well managed. Thanks for a great ride. It's made us want to come back to Central Park on our next trip to explore for ourselves. Note: We booked our rides directly through Official NYC Horse Carriage Rides.

Relaxing Carriage Ride

Very beautiful relaxing carriage ride thru Central Park. Our guide was very nice and took pictures of my husband and me at scenic places.

Really enjoyable!

Josh was our tour guide, with his horse Venus, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He had so much knowledge of the park, both historical and movies filmed there etc etc

Pleasant afternoon in the park

Very nice and relaxed way to visit Central Park . Bring an umbrella for sun as well as rain as can get quite warm although our driver supplied one
