Testimonials
From our previous customers...

  • An amazing experience! A relaxing day was spent cycling around central park, with taking in the beautiful scenery and checking out the famous land marks with the direction off the staff from the shop! The staff were friendly, enthusiastic and very accommodating which made the experience fun and worthwhile! An adventure not to be missed!!:)

  • Today I took the 2 hour 10am Central Park Bike Tour with a cool guide Bryan. He was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable about each place that we stopped along the way. The pace was comfortable without being rushed, and there was plenty of stops for photos during the tour. Even if you haven't ridden a bike for a while, the guide was careful to make sure that we were all comfortable before we started out, and the bikes were very easy to ride, even up the hills in the park. Riding in Central Park was in my top 5 things to do on my 10 day visit to NYC, and it totally lived up to all the expectations I had about it. I'm SO glad that I did this tour and would highly recommend it.

  • Biking Central Park was the highlight of our trip. The weather was perfect. We had a friendly and educated guide. You see most of the park and learn a lot of history in just two hours. Do not miss this tour!

Enjoy the oldest Central Park tradition!

In New York City, horse-drawn carriages are a symbol of pre-modern life before the advent of motor vehicles. During this time, New Yorkers transported by horse-drawn carriage. As a result and over time, horses remained as a symbol to the New York City along with the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, the Statue of Liberty and the street-side performers. Horse-Drawn Carriages left as one of the rare way to taste the Central Park history.

The magic of the horse drawn surrounder you when you approach a carriage and the driver encourage you padding the horse. Then, once you are ready, with a little signal, the horse trot off to the many sights through the park. You are serenely taken on that trip to the harmony of clip, clopping, rattling of the wheels as well as rolling along slowly or a horse whinning and the tinkling of harness.

Then our driver also becomes your guide as formally talks you through many of the attraction of the park has. A typical trip presents the Pond, many famous statues, Wollman Rink,  the Carousel, Sheep Meadow, the Central Park Zoo and San Remo Building just to mention a few. Our driver also points out some movie scene locations which you probably say "Yes, I've seen that movies!".
We customized the standard carriage rides to serve better. Central Park Sightseeing does not reserve for standard rides, its are only walk ups.
