“A Delightful Ride”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

How better to cap off New Year's Eve in Victorian Cape May than with a carriage ride? Tucked under warm cozy blankets, we clip-clopped around the historic district to view the Victorian homes decorated for the holidays and learned about their history. It was a wonderful experience.

I'm so sorry your driver spoke too fast for you to enjoy the tour. Being the last of the night is not a reason to hurry through it. Our drivers do want to entertain you and want you to come back.Thank you for your review. More

We had traveled to Cape May to enjoy the Christmas House tours, and afterward took a late night ride. The guide was terrific, very knowledgable, and had alot of information that we had not yet heard. Definitely a must do when you visit Cape May.

We always take a carriage ride when in Cape May, no matter what time of year it is. Never disappoints! Each time, we hear entertaining stories about the history of the area. Every ride is different....well worth the cost.
