“Highly recommend this business for your carriage ride through Central Park. Ahmet was approachable and kind. He called us early to see if we wanted an earlier time. He kept in contact with me, while we navigated through NYC to get there. He took adorable pics of my family. He offered me a water, when I could not stop coughing. He gave me and my children carrots to feed his horse chocolate. That was exciting for me because the kids always get to do the fun stuff and parents get left out, ya know sacrifice, Lol. But he included all of us, which was nice! Just an all around great experience!”

“Ahmet was GREAT! My daughter and I scheduled a carriage through Central Park during twilight. We were surprised and thrilled to be with the most beautiful carriage, horse and outstanding Coachman. Ahmet was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Gave us history of the park and was willing to accommodate any stops. Super convenient and first class experience.”

Overview
Operating since 1858, these guided carriage tours traverse Central Park with coachmen who combine historical narration with hands-on family engagement-taking photos at landmark spots, offering carrots for the horses, and sharing stories specific to the routes. Holiday-season rides pass Christmas light displays. Carriages are well-maintained; the pickup area near horse stalls requires careful footing.
