The only difference between the Central Park VIP Tour & Holiday Central Park VIP Tour is we only provide 1 stop at Cherry Hill for photos for Holiday Central Park VIP Tour due to high volume bookings for the Holidays. Keep in mind, there is no Christmas lights decoration inside Central Park during the holidays.

Most people believe Central Park is decorated for the holidays with Christmas decroations but that is NOT true. Holiday Central Park VIP Tour is just labeled as "Holiday" due to the holiday month. Does not mean there will be Christmas theme to the tour. We do decorate our carriages for the Holidays but there is not Christmas Lights inside Central Park.

This is very true, many pedi-cab sales persons are luring and scamming customers into taking rides with them. They provide false inforamtion about the horse and carriage rates and pretend to be afilliated with the industry. They are aggressive and nasty to tourist that refuse to take a ride with a pedi-cab and are harassed and insulted by them. Their is also many un reputable vendors in Central Park that charge more money for less time and provide poor customer services. We strongly recommend you do your research and choose our reputable company since 1979 to ensure a memorable and cherishing Central Park horse carriage ride while in NYC. Don't get taken for a ride and reserve with us today!

Huge difference in both tours. The most popular tour would be the Central Park VIP Tour (55 min) which covers the whole nine yards and includes a photo stop at the beautiful Cherry Hill fountain. We also stop to feed the horses carrots which your 8 year old son will absolutely love! The 25 minute ride covers a very small portion of Central Park and the ride is half on street and half inside Central Park. I always recommend taking the 55 minute tour which will guarantee you get the most for your buck and carriage ride experience!

Unfortunately, it is NOT. Many people beleivet the park would decorated with lights and Christmas theme and etc. Only places lit up will be the beautiful NYC skyline, ice skating rink, Cherry Hill fountian and Tavern On The Green is decorated with Christmas lights. Otherwise, it is a just an evening carriage ride through Central Park.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us! I highly recommend making your reservation one month in advance to ensure you get the time-slot that meets your itinerary.

I strongly suggest reserving a carriage for the month of December, due to high demands for rides. Reserving with my company will guarantee clean carriage, great customer service and no waits upon your arrival. The Millennial Hotel is walking distance from our pick up location. Walking would take anywhere from 20-30min. With a taxi it takes about 10 minutes. If you like to reserve your carriage just shoot me an email!

I would highly recommend taking a daytime ride & making a reservation to ensure you have a carriage ready when you arrive. December is very busy. You get the best visibility for sightseeing and picture quality during the daytime. Evening rides, I believe are more for a romantic theme.
