Nice hour + amusement.not for handicapped. Requires climbing very steep narrow entry to carriage. Carriage open sides under canopy.

The horse drawn trolley should’ve been more informative. We heard more about the owner’s family life than Charlottetown. We especially did not like having an underage driver, the family daughter, in control of the horses.

An absolutely lovely was to tour the city. Run by a lovely local couple there are two horse drawn carriages that arrive approximately every half hour. Amber (owner and carriage driver) and her husband share their love of local history during the approximately 30 minute tour (currently 25 Canadian). It is a delightful way to city the city. If you have mobility issues, please be aware there are approximately 8 steps to get into the carriage (there are handrails on both sides). A wonderful way to see the city that is located close to the cruise ship port (just outside Founders Hall). Recommended!

It’s a nice slow trip through multiple streets downtown. The ladies name slipped my mind, but she knows a lot of history and has a very good connection with the horses.

Leisurely trip around Charlottetown with two lovely horses. The humans were also very nice. The guide and driver were both knowledgeable about the town and the mode of transport giving information on the tour and the horses which they obviously took very good care of. Would recommend this tour.
