Highly recommended, great ride.

Troy was an excellent carriage driver, nothing was too much trouble. He took photos for us before, during and after the ride and commentated on all the interesting places in Central Park. Although there were a lot of carriages in Central Park all the drivers know each other and another driver contacted Troy for us for pick up. Troy stopped a couple of times for extra photos and was happy to have his picture taken with us at the end of the ride. His horse ‘handsome Jack’ was beautiful. We would highly recommend.

Fun family activity

Our driver was on time and courteous. He shared little facts about the park and took our family photo in one location with our cell phone. It was a pleasant ride.
