Romance personified. If you are shopping, dining, or celebrating in downtown Chicago this holiday season considering stopping by the carriage stands on Michigan Ave for a tour of the loop - see stores like Macy's and the city Christmas Tree decked out in their finest holiday sparkle.
If you call them directly they even take reservations for private transportation off their normal tour routes in covered or open carriages. This is a year round service, but a special delight during the holidays. -

This was my first, and probably last, horse drawn carriage experience. Let's just say that it was not what I thought it would be and this has nothing to do with any coupons, any tips, fees, whatnot.
First, the realities are, you're being drawn by a horse. This means it stinks. If the horse farts, it stinks, if the horse pees, it smells, if the horse sneezes it stinks. There's nothing romantic or happy about it really unless you were ready for a horse ride in which case that's a whole 'nother issue. Then, it's very bumpy, cold and damp and moldy. It's just not a pleasant feeling, it's not soft, cushy or any of that romance novel stuff. It's simply just kind of ... meh.
The horse takes you around the area and you basically just sit on it and bump along. You see ... some stuff ... here and there. Nothing special or spectacular you couldn't see while walking around. It was just ok. I don't think I would waste my money doing this again. -

**Let me say I love to do romantic excursions like this and I was super excited to put this together** but...
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE... I called to order a reservation and I was hoping to use a Groupon I had purchased for half of our trip. Apparently this was unacceptable because the woman who called me back, I believe her name was Debbie, must have thought I was insane to want to use a discount for her carriage services. I was told not only would they not honor it but that I would have to pay in full and talk to Groupon to get my money back. Now I don't care about the cost but its the principle that I'm upset about. Companies use Groupon to assist in building their business and clientele and essentially make more money. If you can't handle that, maybe you shouldn't be working with another company to "grow your business".
Honey, this is one company that does not have their shit together. -

These are a nice way to cool down and relax but between the buildings, not much to see. For the same money you can take a river cruze

I'm a sucker for romance- enough said! A night under the blanket with my sweetie on a horse drawn carriage looking at the city is so amazing.

This was a great time! You cannot be mad that the groupon expired on you! How can you say that is bad service if you did not call ahead and do your planning. They only have so many carriages and so many horses and hours to operate. I spoke Debbie --- She is great! I am bothered that someone even things otherwise. She explained that everyone called the last 4 days of the Groupon and she only has so much man power and everyone was being rude to her :( Any ways -
BEST TIME!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
