Fun Central Park Ride With Ronnie

We had an amazing Central Park horse carriage ride! Ronnie was intelligent, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the park, especially all the famous movie scenes that were filmed there. He made the ride both entertaining and informative. We had fun. I highly recommend requesting Ronnie—you’re guaranteed to have a great time!

A lovely romantic way to see the sites

Apart from the price being quite steep, we figured it was worth travelling Central Park in style, especially as were visiting New York for our 20th anniversary. We are so glad we splashed out on this, as it was a wonderful experience, and we probably saw more of the park than we would have if walking, due to my disability issues. The carriage was very clean and the horse was well cared for. The carriage operator was very informative and patient when it took me slightly longer to get into the carriage. The views were spectacular and we stopped a few times for us to get pictures with the landmarks around the park. Would definitely do this again, if we are fortunate to visit NY again.

Central Park carriage ride

talking with the driver of the carriage, the horses are well cared and rotated on a daily basis so that they’re not always pulling contrary to what people say on social media. It was a very pleasant ride through Central Park.

Perfect!!!

Fred was an excellent horse carriage driver!!! Roads were closed on our path and Fred ways around them so we could enjoy our tour. I would recommend him again.

A stroll through the memories of movie scenes.

You should ask the driver of the car to talk to you about the different movies filmed in Central Park and play the music from each movie to associate the filmed scene in that area.
