Relaxing experience, stops along the way didn’t feel rushed.
Mario was our guide and he was amazing .. so glad that we chose to see Central Park on a Horse and carriage and Mario made the experience great with his beautiful horse 3 soxs
We really enjoyed the horse carriage ride with Mario. He was very informative and the ride was a lovely way to experience Central Park without walking. 3 Socks ably navigated our passage through the vast Central Park and was a delight for our children.
We had a wonderful ride through the snowy Center Park thanks to Mario and Three Socks. Mario explained a lot and took humorously beautiful photos of us👍👍 best regards at this point
There are many horse carriage services available in Central Park. But Top Hat 🎩 is the best! We were able to book online in advance (through Viator) to get a guaranteed time with excellent directions to our meeting spot. Mario was the gentleman who provided our guided tour and he was informative and fun. He stopped several times to take photos of us near popular Central Park locations. I highly recommend Top Hat Carriage Tours!
Our carriage driver was ahoc replaced by another available and willing to help. We were early and showed other carriage drivers our booking details-they tried to help us find our man...who was not there. We can't help feeling like we missed out on our paid-for experience, although our mostly self-arranged replacement was a lovely person, I can't say it felt VIP.
Our driver really aimed to please and went out of our way to make sure we were comfortable when it poured down rain.
Just had a fantastic tour with Mario and socks. He was very knowledgeable pointed out great points of interest, and we saved money by walking here in ordering direct from him versus going online. He was on the corner of I think seventh Street and 60th by the big horse statue. Awesome afternoon thank you.
Jesus our driver was very polite professional and very informative . We Would Highly Recommend him and Bazooka the horse.
Carriage ride provided an excellent overview of Central Park. Sinan, the driver, and Silver, the beautiful horse made our experience great! We stopped for photos and saw iconic sites (Strawberry Fields, Fountain, etc) Well worth the money.
