This was such a lovely thing to do. We did it on Christmas Day but any day would be lovely. The city is so busy and buzzing, this feels so relaxed and tranquil. A completely different vibe to the rest of the city. Highly recommend. Our guide lived his horses so much and told us how they were kept and looked after aswell as pointing out all the sights. Our children aged 12 and 20 loved it too. Highly recommend.

With a knowledgeable driver to guide you, prepare to be immersed in the park's rich history. Cruise by the Dairy, a place where New York's children once gathered to obtain fresh milk. Catch a glimpse of the magnificent horses on the carousel and admire the statue of William Shakespeare.

Ascend to the hilltop and discover the Imagine mosaic at Strawberry Fields, paying homage to John Lennon. Clop by the English lawn-bowling court, where you can admire the bronze statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman and the bust of Italian philosopher Giuseppe Mazzini. Take in the breathtaking views of the legendary Tavern on the Green, adding to the charm of your experience.

Our guide was so entertaining & gave lots of information about Central Park & its surroundings. I wish we could have covered more areas of the park though.
