Horse drawn carriages have been getting a bad rap in the past decades due to many incidents involving horses, which are not covered in the Animal Welfare Act. Thus to get a carriage ride that will not instill guilt into your enjoyment, you need to choose the right service provider.

First it is best to go for a service provider that has been established for quite some time as compared to other players.

See if they have figured in any accidents that have involved vehicles or even pedestrians. You can also check on this safety track record by doing further research and asking around. You can also ask the local business bureau for help if available.

Once you are satisfied that the company that you have chosen has a good track record, then do go for one that also has good reviews that you can find. On top of this go for a company that have very well trained drivers and coachmen as the case may be and also who are very polite as well. They should also be well versed in local history so they can embellish your tour with interesting facts and figures as well.

Do study the prices of the operator or operators as the case may be, and compare this to relative distances per trip that they offer. It is good to keep in mind that city ordinances do limit the distances that carriages can cover per trip, so as not to overburden the horses. Take these little bits of information in determining if the price is just right and worth it for your pocket.
