Just had a fantastic tour with Mario and socks. He was very knowledgeable pointed out great points of interest, and we saved money by walking here in ordering direct from him versus going online. He was on the corner of I think seventh Street and 60th by the big horse statue. Awesome afternoon thank you.

Jesus our driver was very polite professional and very informative . We Would Highly Recommend him and Bazooka the horse.

GLENN_M

Carriage ride provided an excellent overview of Central Park. Sinan, the driver, and Silver, the beautiful horse made our experience great! We stopped for photos and saw iconic sites (Strawberry Fields, Fountain, etc) Well worth the money.

Judith_C

Guide Mario was very pleasant…ride around Central Park very dismal and honestly but not worth the price -

WILLIAM_F

We could have benefit more from the tour if the driver; Mario, wasn't on the cellphone throughout the whole ride

David_D

35 minutes and it was guaranteed 50 minutes. $320 was probably the most expensive price in town! Ridiculous! Some type of 1/2 price refund would be suffice.

Carlos

Súper over priced, Viator rate was $320.00 while the posted rates are not to exceed 64.00 per 20 minutes ride.

Sarah_S

This was a great experience and super fun for my kids! The driver was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. He didn’t rush the stops for photos and got some great pictures for us. Would definitely recommend!

Helen_G

A truly lovely way to spend an hour in comfort and peace. I wouldn't normally do this sort of trip but Viator have always done things well and this was no exception. A lovely carriage, a seemingly well kept horse and a friendly knowledgeable driver. Central Park is huge and even this only scratches the surface but you'll see more in this genteel hour than any other way.

It was lovely hearing the horses shoes clip-clapping along the road. It was a nice way to tour Central Park, especially in the cold. But I'm not sure you needed to book ahead of time with Viator. There were street vendors galore trying to sell trips and I'm quite sure they were less than what I paid using Viator.
