Tips & guidelines

  • Dress in layers and carry a lightweight waterproof jacket, especially during spring or autumn. Changing weather can make rides chilly or damp unexpectedly.
  • Bring a small backpack with essentials such as a water bottle, sunglasses, and a hat. These items help you stay comfortable during a leisurely city ride.
  • Remain seated and keep voices low to maintain a relaxed atmosphere and respect nearby pedestrians. This also minimizes distractions for carriage drivers in busy urban areas.
  • Be aware that city rules may restrict the circulation of horse-drawn carriages in certain zones. Confirm permitted routes or any upcoming maintenance closures ahead of your ride.
