Central Park Carriage Rides
" With the experience gained all through the years, we are proud to offer the best specialized tours. We focus on the requests of our guests and create the tour they desire "
Horse drawn carriages were the first transportation of the city, and they are one of the few historical elements of New York City left. Taking horse and carriage ride in Central Park is definitely the most nostalgic way to see it. Considering the park was designed for carriages, you will see it how it was meant to. Besides, it is definitely the most extraordinary way to create memorable moments.
Our horse carriage tours include scenic view of the park and the city, historical information about the park, the must see landmarks in the park, movie spot information, and the most respectful and kind driver. For you to experience a smooth and safe ride, our horses are well taken care of, and our carriages are regularly maintained.
