★★★★★Featured review by Steve DeLon

We spend our 10th anniversary in New Your City. We wanted to do some memorable things one of which was a Horse Carriage ride in Central Park. Our driver Troy was fabulous, very knowledgeable and took some amazing pictures of us that we will cherish. Troy's house was Rosie, very sweet horse. They are several movies that have been filmed In Central Park and Troy told us about all of them. He was actually in a movie that was filmed in Central Park. Great memories were made.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children of any age wanting a relaxed, educational way to cover Central Park's landmark highlights. The gentle pace suits tired legs after a full sightseeing day, and drivers naturally engage children with stories about the park. A strong option for anniversaries or special visits where a memorable shared experience matters.

Matt was a wonderful guide on the carriage. He drove safely with the horse and was sweet to the horse and he also stopped and let us see different landmarks and he was very knowledgeable in explaining lots of stuff to us that we didn’t know. I would recommend him personally to anyone! This is a fun little thing to do, to get to know Central Park in New York City.
