Disappointing

I bought the experience based on 40 minute ride and tour of Central Park. It was 20 min ride and only told about 3 spots we were seeing. I called Viator to report we were dropped off at 11:20. And was told by the tour company that the 40 min ride included time to pick me up at tavern on the green and the time it would take to get back to tavern on the green. The experience was sold as 40 min tour with pick up or drop off at tavern on the green. So disappointed that Viator would sell this tour for $200 for 20 minute ride and with the false information of ride time

Winter wonderland ride to Tavern on the Green.

Kevin was a kind knowledgeable and personable gentleman. He shared facts about the park and the city. Beautiful ride through a gorgeous landscape cuddled up in a very warm blanket. Sam was our horse power, a 12 year old steed. He knew the route and was friendly enough to allow a photo. Worth every penny. A must for a NY city visit with a lover.

Wonderful Central Park Carriage Ride

One of the best experience we have ever had. We had a wonderfully served carriage tour in Central Park with NYC adventures this week. Our driver Luis was so kind and funny. It was evening tour so weather was little cold but Luis gave us blankets to keep us warm. Thank you so much for being so responsive and making our tour warm and comfortable at this cold weather🥰🥰🥰
