Central Park Carriage Ride w/ Drop Off @ Tavern On Green (45 min)

Posted By : Christine_K
Once we could find our driver for the carriage it was fine. It’s a bit difficult as there is a line of horse and carriage rides in Central Park and no signage how to find who you booked with if you have a reservation. After asking several people (and trying to call/text the company) we found ours.

Our rider Emre and horse Ela were awesome. I hosted my friends for their NYC trip and we had an amazing trip. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic guide and lovely carriage. Route takes approximately 45 minutes and makes multiple stops for viewing and pictures. We have done several rides through the park, this is THE ONE to take.

We absolutely loved the carriage ride. Our driver, Bob Rosenberg, was kind, knew so much history about the park and was very helpful regarding getting on and out of the carriage. Thank you for a memorable evening.

For my girlfriend's first time in NY, we wanted to do something relaxing and romantic involving Central Park and I didn't want to have to potentially haggle over prices with the carriage ride people the day of so I booked this tour with Viator as I have had good experiences with them in the past. The plan was to do the ride around sunset and then have dinner at Tavern on the Green, and with this particular booking title, it seemed perfect.

Prior to arrival, they sent me a very detailed message about how to find the right carriage at the meeting point, which was appreciated, but they emphasized that there should be a specific logo on the carriage but when we got there, there was no such logo on our carriage which was confusing.

The lady who took us on our tour was nice but the experience was very awkward the entire time. We were under the impression that she was going to just point out a few of the landmarks as we passed them on the ride but she did not stop talking the entire time, and we couldn't really even hear or understand most of what she was saying because she didn't enunciate very well and it was more of a rehearsed monologue that she kept going with even at times talking over our conversions or when we just wanted some peace and quiet to enjoy the ride. She took a few photos for us, which was appreciated, but most of them came out blurry and I would have rather just taken them myself. She also didn't pay attention to the type of ride that we had signed up and had I not double checked with her, she would have dropped us off at the wrong place even though the title clearly said "with drop off at Tavern on the Green".

For how much we paid for this 45 min excursion, I would say this was overall a disappointment.

The driver was great fun, made the ride interesting. Very helpful and patient. Delivery right to The Tavern on the Green was a plus! A fun way to get an overview of Central Park with some historical details thrown in.

We had a wonderful experience with NYC carriage rides. Henry, our driver and guide was friendly , knowledgeable and interesting! The carriage was well appointed and Mary the horse looked well cared for. We would highly recommend this carriage company. Emails, communication and directions were clear and easy to follow.

What an awesome experience! Our driver Henry was awesome (and super cute!) and knew so much about everything in the area. Everything went perfectly and we had no problem locating our carriage based on the directions the company provides. It was important to me that we book with a company that genuinely cares for its horses, and I truly believe this company does. The page dedicated to them on their website is precious! We arrived an hour early for the 1-hour tour, and they were more than happy to begin our tour at that time. I had only seen a small part of the park before, and my husband had never been there at all, so it was a great experience for us both. Henry took tons of pics of us at various locations, and Sam the Horse was a sweetheart. The carriage was comfy and really pretty, and thankfully not difficult to get in and out of lol. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting!
