Fantastic, our tour guide was brilliant. So informative of the area. Horses are in fantastic condition too. Would highly recommend

Ashley T

Review might be a bit skewed because rating is due to things outside of the tour operator's control. Horse and tour guide were great but we had to reschedule our trip and this tour so we went at night and we couldn't see anything, plus it was raining. So I write this only to say book with this company but book in the day time (morning) so you can actually experience the park.

Jamie_H

Luis was wonderful! He was friendly and informative. We had a beautiful ride through Central Park. It was a perfect ending to our trip to NYC.

Robert_K

Our guide and his horse were great. Provided some good information about the park. Answered our questions and was ready and waiting for us even though we were a bit early. Driver only offered us to get off at one spot. Wanted to see Strawberry Field / Imagine / John Lennon Memorial, but wasn’t offered to stop there. It was neat to see the Dakota building where John Lennon lived though. The park is beautiful and you wouldn’t think you are in middle of NYC.

It was lonely day, so I decided to go out and get some synergy. This tour made my day! The driver was super cool, knowledgeable, respectful. I got to feed the horse, see the Central Park and New York City from a Carriage. I highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting BYC.

Donna_D

It was a nice experience to go round central Park in a horse and carriage but it only lasted 40 mins and it was mainly only pointing out where a few scenes from films were done. Our driver was very nice and took some photos for us but it’s expensive for what it is

Richard N

We had a great time with Luiz and his beautiful horse Duke. Duke was very friendly and we got to feed him carrots. Luiz was a great guide with lots of information about the park and the city. He also offered more personal stories of people he had met and places he had been. It was a wonderful experience and the family had the best time.

Kim_M

Our driver Honor was very friendly and very accommodating, we were running late and he was willing to wait for us, good communication and very knowledgeable of sites he pointed out for us. He took some excellent pictures of us with my iPhone too! Even dropped us off close to our hotel so we didn’t have to take an Uber, above and beyond!!I would highly recommend this driver and this experience to anyone visiting New York.
