Review of NYC Elite Rides’ private Central Park carriage tour, with landmarks, local guides, photo stops, winter blankets, and city lights.

“From start to finish I was very happy with the service. We had to change the original date of booking due to the extreme cold weather, which the horses were not able to be out for. I had Fred as our tour guide and he has very helpful with rescheduling our date. Fred was also fantastic as our tour guide, explained everything really well and made sure we took really good photos and explained everything regarding the history of the park. Thanks Fred.”
