It was great! Alex was friendly, funny and very informative. The pictures he took of us were fantastic as well! It is a little pricey and the 2-hour tour only covers the south side of Central Park, so we didn’t get to ride through the whole thing. I had no idea Central Park was THAT big, but I think it’s worth it if you’re taking a quick weekend trip and you’re on a time crunch like I was. We would not have seen a quarter of what we did if we had been walking.

it was fabulous. our guide Muhammad was great really funny and very knowledgeable. Tons of photos we felt like models, hilarious. but highly recommended. hope you get Muhammad. He was mint

GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE CONSIDERING YOU PAY SO MUCH MORE AT THE PARK IF YOU WAIT TO RESERVE

Really helpful and informative guide and cute horse! Had a lovely time...

Great tour of the park with a lovely, friendly guide.
