I booked through Viator. I took this horse and carriage ride a year ago but since I was bring my friends I wanted them to have the Central Park experience also. We brought the Big Bus to Central Park and after walking quite a hike we found where we were supposed to meet. We received a text from Oscar moving our original time ahead which was ok bc we had dinner reservations that night too. Upon the arrival of the carriage Oscar whom was very nice presented us with a bouquet of flowers and chocolates due to us celebrating our birthdays on this trip. We enjoyed the ride and the weather was beautiful. My only complaint is it seemed rather rushed and since I had went many more places the year before I knew there was more to see. We only had 30 min of carriage time and didn't even get to feed the horse after ward as we are supposed to do. My friends enjoyed it but stated they would pass on it the next time. I had such an amazing experience in 2023 so was a bit disappointed. It was not a "bad" experience but def not the tour provided the year before.

We had Luis and Jake as our guide and horse. It was the wife's first time to NYC and this was on her to do list. The ride was pleasant and enjoyable and Luis did a great job pointing things out and explaining them. Do yourself a favor and book the trip before you go like we did. Let's just say that there are some that are not legit and take advantage of the tourists.
