Nico was the best! - Our guide’s name was Nico. He was very nice and knowledgable when sharing the history on some of the locations we passed. He also gave us the opportunity to get out and take pics by two fountains. He was patient and very kind. It
Was obvious that he enjoyed his job. I definitely would go back and recommend. It was a peaceful, beautiful ride.

Central Park ride - We had a lovely ride around Central Park. Our driver was great, and showed where movies were made asking the ride. The only negative part is when we left. Many carriages were offering $90 for 1 hot . We paid $159 for 20 to 25 minutes

Expensive short trip around a tiny part of the park - It’s very overpriced for what you get. Some of the horses don’t look in great condition. We were unable to choose the horse and carriage we wanted. The prices reflected on the side of the carriage don’t actually reflect what you pay. Make sure you ask as we spoke to several before deciding to do it and paid less than originally quoted. We would have liked a longer tour and asked however it wasn’t available. They all want to get people in and out as quickly as possible.
Checking facts afterwards, the fountain they stop at and tell you is from Friends, it isn’t really and when you check your pictures you’ll see the difference!
The website tells you they stop and let you off to take pictures, they don’t.
We’ve done it however I wouldn’t necessarily recommend.
