Overview

The Official NYC Horse Carriage Rides™ is a family-owned & operated business. My Father, Giuseppe started the business in 1979 after emigrating to New York City from Sicily. My name is Frank & as a child, I looked up to my Father and fell in love with the family business and horses. I now manage the company and ensure the highest level of quality horse-drawn carriage rides service in Central Park. My Father and I book, lead the tours and overlook the carriages which ensure you will always have professionalism, 100% horse welfare, licensed tour guides & well-maintained carriage.

We are the most reputable NYC Horse Carriage Ride company in Central Park. We have an outstanding +7000 raving reviews from satisfied customers. Why waste your time and money with random third-party vendors, when we are voted #1 in Central Park
