Our St. Patrick’s Day weekend in New York City was filled with great experiences, and the horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park was definitely a highlight! This was something I’ve always wanted to do, and it was even better than I’d dreamed. Central Park was beautiful. Our driver, Ariel, was fantastic. He had a great personality. He knows all... More

We had a perfect afternoon in Cental Park, thanks to Ariel and the New York Carriage Company. It was really easy to organise a convenient time for the carriage ride with Ariel. The ride was a great experience and Ariel helped by highlighting the history of Central Park. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and well worth the money.

I booked a suprise carriage ride for my wife and I on Valentine's day this year. Ariel (the driver/guide) was very helpful in meeting our scheduling needs and even allowed us to begin our ride early since our dinner ended a little earlier than I had planned. He has a wonderful personality and seemed to be one of the lone... More

I reached out to Ariel because of what I had read in this review thread because I too wanted to propose to my girlfriend during a carriage ride through Central Park. Ariel worked with me on finding the perfect spot, and gave us plenty of time when the day finally arrived. I had never been to Central Park and I... More

On a whim we decided to take a short carriage ride just before sunset at Central Park. Our horse was so lovely and the driver respected that we wanted to just relax and silently enjoy the ride together. The weather was lovely, quite warm for Oct. There were a few people strolling in the park but it was quite empty... More

My Fiancee and I had the most incredible experience all thanks to a man called Ariel. I planned to propose to my girlfriend 6 months ago and decided to look up options on how to do it. I had a Carriage ride in the back of my mind as the times we had visited the city before we had never... More

We had a lovely ride around central park, and my only "negative" had to do with the time of year we chose to enjoy our ride - obviously no fault of the company! What impressed us was the booking processes...we actually e-mailed the company & chose our date & time, they called us back and confirmed they had an opening..we... More

We had wanted to do a horse and carriage ride around central park, but wanted to ensure we went with some one who shared our love and respect of animals. We chose Ariel from new York carriages and we were not disappointed. It was a little hard to make a time with him as we didn't have a cell phone,... More
