Riding the carriages is so much fun and can be really romantic. The drivers are very friendly and know a lot about the city if you want to ask. It can also be very romantic. We try to take an hour tour at least once a year. It never gets old. Plus, can you think of a more environmentally friendly way to get around? (Oh, and the horses are treated very well and wear special shoes. I asked. They seem very happy to be doing this.)
