5.00Oscar was a great tour guide. He stopped and took photos when we wanted him to. It was chilly this day and he had a blanket for us.

5.00It was great the driver was informative and funny. The only thing is I wish it explored more of the park and there were more photo stops but I understand the restrictions.
Nice experience, just expensive.

5.00This was a very iconic experience. There was nothing wrong with the Horse, Driver, or carriage, it was just so very expensive.

1.00We didn’t get to take the carriage ride. This company cancelled on our ride and we were not able to take it at a different time. Please send our refund we haven’t received it but we do see where you took the money.
Don't waste $$ on VIP

3.00Paid for VIP, only received two photo stops and ride was shorted. Guide pointed out some buildings but was not very talkative unless pressed. He was nice though. Not really worth the extra we paid just do the basic and take your own photos.
