Memories of. Lifetime - Are you ready to embark on the ultimate adventure? Let me share my incredible experience with you! Imagine this: feeding carrots to horses and hopping into a stunning carriage ride through Central Park. The highlight of my trip was, without a doubt, our amazing driver, Mali. He was not just friendly; he was a fountain of knowledge, making our journey unforgettable! I managed to snag the best deal on the Vidor website, and it was worth every penny for this extraordinary experience! As we glided through the park, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, I felt truly alive. There are plenty of horse carriages waiting at the park's entrances, just ready to whisk you away on this fantastic adventure. If you visit Central Park, you absolutely must take a horse-drawn carriage ride—but trust me, you’ll want to book with Mali. It’s a magical experience that you’ll treasure for a lifetime! Don’t miss out!

Central Park is Beautiful - Noah and Ponch gave us a wonderful tour of the park. Noah explained many details and provided an interesting narrative of locations and points of interest. We stopped for photos periodically. This is a great way to see a sense of the scope and beauty of the park.

Gorgeous Winter Activity! - Our guide, Kevin was awesome! He was super knowledgeable about all aspects of the Park and very warm. He pointed out all the famous spots and stopped off so we could snap pictures. The ride was so comfortable and everything we’d hoped it would be. Kevin is such a welcoming person and made us feel very comfortable in the “big city”. Special thanks to our handsome stead, Sam!

Wonderful ride - We had a wonderful time on the tour. There is no way we could have taken in all the sites on our own. Our driver was kind and enjoyable

Making memories - We had a spectacular ride. It would be beneficial if the city could spend a few dollars to decorate the park in festive lighting to enhance the ride experience. Our tour guide was awesome!! He pointed out specific points of interest related to past and current events. If an option is favorable for the carriage takers, portable heaters would be something to consider in the future, it was 18 degrees on the night of our ride. We were able to make a lifetime memory during our carriage ride!!
