Ride through Central Park toward the bright buzz of Times Square on a 45-minute horse-drawn carriage tour of New York City.

About this tour

See New York City from the gentle rhythm of a horse-drawn carriage on this 45-minute Central Park ride. Starting near the park’s southeast entrance, your journey pairs leafy park scenery with the bright energy of Times Square.

Settle beneath an optional roof in rain or sun, and stay cozy with winter blankets when provided. A licensed professional guide shares the ride, takes photos, and offers a panoramic view of the city as you travel. Treats for the horses are included, along with all taxes and fees. The carriage accommodates up to four adults, and the price is per carriage rather than per person.

This New York City Central Park carriage tour meets by the Jose Julian Marti Statue at 6th Avenue and 59th Street. Book your ride to enjoy a relaxed, memorable way to take in the park and the city’s lively streets.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
