Traveler reviews
Great communication
We didn’t get to do this trip as it was canceled due to the extreme hot weather however the provider was great and communicated with us and offered a few alternatives but we had other plans
A nice ride but not much commentary
The ride itself was lovely but the driver was recently from Ukraine and spoke very little English. He tried his best and through mime and some key words we realised what the main sights were. It was very hard to find the starting point from the directions provided.
Take the longer ride
Matt, our driver, texted with us so we knew where to meet him. We did the longer ride so there was time to stop at several places and take pictures. Got to feed our horse Strawberry some carrots. Learned she was a former thoroughbred racing horse. Matt was knowledgeable about the park and its history. We enjoyed the experience and it's a great way to see the park.
31 yrs later,..we're back.
Nice carriage ride through the park. Matt would give us some to the park's history as we road along. We had similar experience 31 years ago for our first Wedding Anniversary. Wanted to repeat for this year!
Awaiting my refund
Unfortunately this was cancelled due to heat restrictions. Please provide me with the date I can expect the refund.
