As you embark on this approximately 45-minute guided carriage ride, you'll find yourself whisked away into a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. The tour begins at the southern end of Central Park, near 59th Street and 6th Avenue, where your knowledgeable driver eagerly awaits to share fascinating stories and historic anecdotes about the park.

Traveling through Central Park offers a plethora of visual delights. You'll pass by famous movie locations like the picturesque Bow Bridge, a popular spot among photographers and romantics alike.

Each turn, each path, reveals hidden gems that contribute to Central Park’s storied charm.

The history of Central Park itself adds an enriching layer to your experience. Designed in the 1850s by landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park was a groundbreaking project aimed to offer New Yorkers an urban haven. The horse-drawn carriage rides, which began in the late 19th century, continue to be a staple, drawing both tourists and locals wanting to relive this nostalgic mode of transit. Central Park’s landmarks, like the Bethesda Terrace and the Great Lawn, have hosted countless historical events and continue to serve as cultural and social epicenters today.
