I didn't experience the full trip as I'd requested special arrangements to terminate at Bow Bridge so I could propose to my partner. I was met with no resistance to allow this to happen, and our driver Sarah (and the horse Benji) were fantastic. Would highly recommend their services to anybody visiting NYC. Would definitely take the full tour upon my return.

our guide was lovely but we only made one stop at the fountain. No other stops(there were meant to be three) so many horse and carriages so it was good to book and skip the queue but that was the only VIP thing about it. Would have been nice to get what was stated in the description of our tour.
