Not wheelchair accessible
Barbara_G
, Aug 2022
The drivers were great but, the reason I picked this company was because it said wheelchair accessible, it’s not. I have bad legs and can’t get up stairs easily. I really struggled to get up into coach. I got up first step, then laid on the floor to get up on my painful knees to work myself up to seat. If I was with other people, I would had sent them off without me. But it was just me and my granddaughter, and I didn’t want her to miss this memory. So if you need easy on accessible, this is not it. I should have double and triple checked the information. But the drivers were very kind and tankful, I enjoyed the actual ride

Nice Carriage Ride In Central Park
joe_d
, Aug 2022
Tour guide was pretty good. Carriage was beautiful and well maintained. Pretty good experience overall. Just wasn't happy that we got started 10-15 minutes late and they did not add that time on the back end of the tour. If you pay for an hour you should get the full hour, since they charge by the length of the tour.

It was an okay ride. The driver was great, but we didn't stop at a few of the spots. I pictured being VIP differently, I guess. Help in and out of the carriage would have been a plus, but that's fine. Recommend only if you just want "a ride".

We love the thought of a carriage ride through Central Park. We purchased the VIP trip which was 60 minutes and the driver brought us back 35 minutes later. Felt we were cheated in that aspect. The coachmen also did not explain any of the sights until we had to nudge for that conversation.
