Overview

The NYC horse-drawn carriage is the most romantic tour for couples and a joy ride for families/friends. You will feel transported to yesteryear as you step into the old fashioned regal carriage. Listening to the clip clop of the horses shoes you will forget you are riding through one of the busiest city in the world! All you need to do is sit back and relax.

You can learn about the history of the park while taking in the picturesque surroundings. Your journey around Central Park will include exploring many bridges, fountains, statues and Central Park landmarks. If you are interested in learning about the history of the park and related trivia, let your driver be your guide. They will be happy to share their extensive knowledge about Central Park and NYC and can also point out the many famous movie locations.

Whether you want a private, romantic ride with your partner or a guided tour with family or friends, a Central Park horse-drawn carriage tour is a must see NYC attraction!
