This was an amazing experience. I would honestly do this again because it was so good and I learned a lot from my tour guide! He was great and very knowledgeable about the park and the buildings around it. Just book it!

Awesome and relaxing way to see Central Park. Mila, our tour guide was fab, pointing out all the points of interest, and giving us great narrative. And not forgetting Cisco, his horse. We had an email the night before, confirming time and pick up point, (end of 6th Avenue and 59th Street) which was easy to find, also on the day, a text, from Mila, himself. We had stop off points to take pictures during our hour trip. The carriage was comfortable and blankets were provided.

We had a tough weather evening with steady and at times heavy rain. But we were kept dry and warm and still had a very enjoyable ride. Our driver was very friendly and informative and endure the elements to make it a great hour for us. Highly recommend.

Booked this 60-minute carriage ride weeks ago before our holiday at the price of £205 (approx $265). Definitely very overpriced. If I had arrived without booking I could have got a carriage ride for 90 minutes for $160 (approx £130) for my family. Don't book in advance as there are plenty of horses and carriages available and you will definitely get it cheaper in person! The ride itself was nice enough but you don't get to see very much of Central Park at all and you could easily walk to the focal points the drivers stop at. Our driver, Onur was very nice and gave us interesting facts throughout the ride and took plenty of photos on our phone for us.
