A nice ride but not much commentary

4.00The ride itself was lovely but the driver was recently from Ukraine and spoke very little English. He tried his best and through mime and some key words we realised what the main sights were. It was very hard to find the starting point from the directions provided.
Take the longer ride

5.00Matt, our driver, texted with us so we knew where to meet him. We did the longer ride so there was time to stop at several places and take pictures. Got to feed our horse Strawberry some carrots. Learned she was a former thoroughbred racing horse. Matt was knowledgeable about the park and its history. We enjoyed the experience and it's a great way to see the park.
31 yrs later,..we're back.

4.00Nice carriage ride through the park. Matt would give us some to the park's history as we road along. We had similar experience 31 years ago for our first Wedding Anniversary. Wanted to repeat for this year!
Awaiting my refund

Extremely Disappointed

1.00The excursion was cancelled by the provider without informing me. We travelled to the pick up location and found out that the event had been cancelled. The ride was scheduled for 1:00 pm which was plenty of time to inform us on the cancellation.
Best time!

5.00Our Driver was very a very nice Turkish man, he told us lots of things about the park and answered questions that my mother asked. He definitely didn’t have to do that but it was very sweet of him! The horse Gracie was a beautiful mare, we got to feed her carrots and pet her! The pictures our driver took came out nice and will last a lifetime!
Worth the $$$

Customer service concerns

3.00We had booked a carriage tour of Central Park for May 16 at 10am. But could not take the tour because I got sick. Have been trying to contact aviator for a refund, but got no response. I know this is a reputable company, but their lack of response to customers concerns is frustrating & extremely disappointing.
Loved it!
