Old City Carriages delivers consistently magical experiences through St. Augustine, with guides like Tiffany and Aaron earning enthusiastic praise for their knowledge and warmth. The horses, particularly Happy and Norman, steal hearts with their gentle, affectionate personalities. Families rave about how well the horses interact with children, while couples find the rides perfectly romantic for anniversaries and special occasions. The guides bring the city to life with fascinating historical facts and ghost stories, revealing hidden corners and perspectives you might miss on foot.

Music playing during the tour adds to the experience, and guides customize pick-up locations for convenience. The overall vibe is relaxed and personal, with knowledgeable commentary that stays fun rather than overly formal.

Great people, great service, great horse (Happy). Aaron was an exceptional, knowledgeable and patient host who engaged with the entire family on our tour. He told us about the good, the bad and the ugly of this beautiful city. He also had a nice mix of the paranormal and the abnormal history of St Augustine. He loves his horses and I have no doubt that loves and respects them back. This company truly takes great care of their horse family. I wish I had a pic to share as I know they help ratings so here is a pic of our rental Aaron dropped us off at as we were very close to historic downtown.
