Review from Jen K.
Philadelphia, PA

The largest carriage company in N America.
It's always a great way to see an historic city. The horses are a little overweight (so I'd say "healthy" is appropriate here!), and you can really tell the drivers care about them. They take reservations or walk up customers.
They have a variety of carriages for weddings, proms, and other events, and even a funeral hearse. They also have a horse that models for art students at the PA Academy of Fine Arts. Movies, tv shows, and parades- the horses have rubbed elbows (do horses have elbows) with more famous folks than we humans can hope for in a lifetime.
I also understand they have a new state-of-the-art stable that has just been built. -

We took a break and spent forty dollars to ride the carriage around Philly's old city and Society Hill. What well spent dollars. Our coachman, a woman from Philly led us around the city telling us things about the area. She answered even the craziest questions from my kids. This was one of the highlights from our philadelphia vacation I am glad my six year old demanded that we ride.

Review from Karen F.

We had a lovely 30-35 minute "medium" horse drawn carriage ride with Cynthia (a Philly native and a tough broad!) and her horse "Rex" a tall, handsome, well-trained draft horse.
My little one and I thoroughly enjoyed the good weather (perfect day - not too hot, not cold, no rain) and quiet streets in Society Hill.
I am hopeful that the horses are well fed and kept better than those AWFUL stables we drive by on 13th Street. I am concerned for all those carriage horses being out in the heat and little fresh water around.
