So much information and beautiful carriage.

The tour was well planned and we had a nice driver, Bob, with horse Bosch, who spoke slowly and gave a lot of information on the residences we saw. Will book again on a future visit.

Good times.

Brianna was knowledgeable and personable the carriage ride was lovely and Brianna’s stories were educational. A big thank you to Boeing, the beautiful French Percheron who pulled us through the city! We’d definitely do this again.
