Your Central Park Carriage Ride Awaits

Why Choose a Central Park Horse Carriage Ride?

A horse carriage ride through Central Park is one of New York City's most iconic experiences. Since 1999, NYC Royal Carriage has offered visitors and locals alike the chance to see the park's 843 acres from a beautifully restored vintage carriage. Whether you're celebrating a proposal, anniversary, birthday, or simply exploring Manhattan for the first time, our guided tours cover landmarks like Bethesda Fountain, Bow Bridge, Strawberry Fields, The Mall, and Cherry Hill — all while your knowledgeable driver shares stories about the park's rich history.

Every tour is priced per carriage (not per person), making it an affordable option for couples, families, and small groups of up to four adults. Our carriages come equipped with cozy blankets for cooler months and bottled water during summer, so you can ride comfortably in any season. Regular tours run January 10 – November 20; from November 21 to January 9 we run our Christmas tours instead. Optional add-ons such as champagne, fresh roses, and a professional photographer can be added when you book — perfect for creating unforgettable memories.

We are fully licensed and insured by the City of New York, and our horses are cared for daily, examined by a veterinarian three times a year, and given six to twelve weeks of pasture vacation. With a 5.0★ rating on Google, NYC Royal Carriage is one of Central Park's most highly rated carriage tour operators. Book directly on our website for our direct rates — no middleman fees, instant confirmation, and stress-free rescheduling.
