Wonderful Experience
Published on Jan, 2025
The office is on a side street downtown and is not as nice as some of the other carriage company ones but the people are! And our tour was awesome. The woman at the desk honored a coupon I found on Groupon by me just mentioning it which was lovely because I didn't have to go through the hassle of purchasing it on the site. She also recommended a nice coffee shop while we waited. Our tour guide's name I believe was Caroline and she was funny and full of interesting facts. This was my fifth carriage ride downtown - I usually bring my out of town guest on one and they always love the experience - and it was still just as interesting and great as the first time. Recommend :)
