5.00My husband and I rode with MUHAMMED and Michelle. Although it was well below freezing, MUHAMMED ensured that we had a great time. He told us about different places in Central Park and took us by the most incredible light displays. He put heavy blankets over us to keep us warm. He stopped in the park, got out and took our picture. We would definitely book with this company again.
Worth it! Thanks Yildiz!

5.00It was wonderful! Omer was fabulous! He knew a lot about the city and was very easy to work with. He kept in contact with us before our carriage ride via text and made our experience very memorable for my husband and I. He’s even an excellent photographer! I would recommend the carriage ride and Omer to anyone just visiting NY for the first time… especially during the holiday season! Thanks again Omer!
