    Things to know

    Tour start and end times aren’t flexible due to limited private carriage availability. Tours may be delayed in extreme heat for animal safety or suspended if conditions become unsafe.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancel or rebook up to 24 hours before the tour begins with no penalties. Within 24 hours, no refunds for cancellations; a $25 fee may apply for rebookings.

    FAQs

    Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time. Start and end times aren’t flexible, and if you arrive late the tour still ends at the scheduled time.

    Your carriage tour may be delayed in extremely hot temperatures to allow the animals additional rest time, or suspended if the temperature or heat index reaches an unsafe level.

    Tours take place rain or shine. In the rare case the tour is canceled, you can reschedule to another time (subject to availability).
