Onur's carriage - A Fun, fact filled guided tour. Beautiful way to see New York City! Our driver was great. We fed the horse and Onur took plenty of photos of our group! "MEMORABLE"

Cozy Christmas Light Carriage Ride - It was wonderful. It was raining hard but with the roof and blanket we were cozy and the Christmas lights were beautiful. A terrific experience! I highly recommend it.

Great Experience - Sure cool carriage ride through the city to look at the lights. The horse and driver were outstanding. I was a little nervous in that there are a ton of other guys trying to get you take a ride with them through the park, but trip advisor texted me ahead of time with the drivers name and number. I texted him and told him how many people we had and what we were wearing and he found us right away. It was a perfect ride and we had a great time. I would certainly do it again.

Horse Carriage Ride - Put this on your “MUST DO” list! Beautiful night time city view of all the Christmas lights. It was FREEZING But there was a huge faux fur blanket to keep us warm!

Not what we paid for and not really a professional set up! - The coach driver, Helio, was great but overall the ride was not what we expected. Definitely did not get the tour we paid for. Overall experience was not that professional, no kiosk or tent set up, had to text and call different people to verify ride was still happening. Would not pay to do this again!

Overpriced - Was 30 minutes. Got some good pictures and a bit of history but other than that it was extremely over priced.

Disappointing Carriage Tour: Overpriced and Underwhelming - The carriage tour in New York felt more like a buggy ride than a memorable experience. The overall ambiance was underwhelming, and the high price tag did not justify what we received. Additionally, if you’re considering this ride during inclement weather, I strongly advise against it; the rain made it uncomfortable and unenjoyable. For the cost, there are certainly better ways to explore the city that offer more value and comfort. I wouldn’t recommend this tour, especially in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Family vacation - You don't see any lights that you don't see on the way to your carriage. The guide was not interactive with customers. Was not worth the money. So disappointed

Tourist trap - Unfortunately due to traffic our chauffeur arrived 15 minutes late, we went down 5th which was underwhelming, didn’t see any special Christmas lights or anything then he dropped us off early. Said there no refund, sorry, even though we strolled for an underwhelming 30 minutes!! Tourist trap, don’t waste your $!
