Central Park Moonlight Tour with Photo (45 min) ~ Skip the line

Our driver/guide was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. He took great pictures of us and made sure to get the lovely horse in the shot. His knowledge centered on movies and movie stars, but questions about history and architecture generated great insights.

It was a great experience. The horse handler was very knowledgeable in the history of New York. which made the experience that much more enjoyable.

This ride was a great way to end the day after walking around the city all day. It was a pleasant and relaxing experience, and the driver gave a great tour of the park.

It was a wonderful experience, the coachman was very nice. He put us at ease, explained very well the history of the park and took beautiful photos

On December 12, I and my son experienced an unforgettable Moonlight Ride through Central Park, organized by Top Hat NY Horse & Carriage. Initially, we considered canceling because of the condition of some carriages and horses we saw at Central Park. However, we discovered that these were not from Top Hat. In the end, we decided to go ahead with the ride anyway, and we did not regret it for a moment. Our coachman, Omer, contacted us nicely in advance and was waiting for us with a beautifully decorated carriage, complete with festive Christmas decorations and a warm blanket for the cold evening. His horse looked fit and well cared for. Omer shared fascinating stories about the history of Central Park and the surrounding buildings. The highlight was a photo stop at Bethesda Terrace, where a guitarist played “Holy Night” on his acoustic guitar by a fire. This magical moment was truly priceless. We are extremely grateful to Omer and his sweet horse and recommend everyone to make reservations at Top Hat. You won't see these carriages during the day, as they run by appointment. On our next visit to New York, we will definitely book another Moonlight Ride at Top Hat, hopefully again with Omer as our coachman. Monique & Patrique Arrachart The Netherlands

Based on the email communication, it was a little difficult to initially find the meeting point. Once in carriage the driver shared stories, we moved at a pleasant pace while covered under a blanket, the driver took some photos of us, and returned in a timely manner.

This was a very nice ride for a family, and I think it would be very romantic for a couple. Overall,, we did enjoy it and we especially liked interacting with the horse before and after the ride. We also appreciated the rider for waiting for us as we were running behind. He was patiently waiting and ready for us when we arrived. Due to rushing we did not get coffee, chai or wine, which I think would have enhanced the experience and relaxation after a long day in time square! Nevertheless, it was fine! It's all what you make it and if I had the chance, I would do it again.

Fantastic!!! Moonlight is a great and calm horse and the driver is extremely knowledgeable about city history. Could not have asked for a better experience’

Our driver Tyson was wonderful. Took great pictures for us and was very knowledgeable about the park. Great experience.

The guide was amazing and so knowledgeable. He knew every question we asked and had lots of interesting fun facts about the city. Central Park was beautiful and peaceful at night. The carriage cushions were so comfortable and the blankets warmed us up completely and were a very nice addition.
