Magical Evenings & Special Events
Horse Carriage Rides MN
Choose from our 30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute carriage rides in Minneapolis to see the city from a different perspective. This one-of-a-kind experience special activity is the perfect way to start an evening and see the sunset over the skyline whether that’s on a date, with friends, or on a family outing. Our horse-drawn carriages are also the perfect addition to any special event such as weddings, corporate events, proms, and funerals.
Why The Hitching Company
One-of-a-Kind Experiences
Unlike most city tours each of our carriage rides are completely personalized. From the quiet of a romantic ride through beautiful Minneapolis to a fully a narrated historical tour, our experienced and knowledgeable guides are ready to show you the city on your terms. Want a picture with your trusty horse? Just ask your guide, they will be glad to oblige!
A Unique Way To Experience The City
The nostalgia of a slower time, the sound of the hooves, and the relaxation of having a professional tour guide navigate the city streets. Locals and first-time visitors agree that there is truly nothing like the experience of a Hitching Company carriage ride through our beautiful city.
A Minneapolis Tradition
As the oldest carriage company in Minneapolis, our commitment to service, safety, and your experience is the backbone of our mission. We know you have choices and our commitment is to exceed your expectations. Family-owned and operated, we value each one of our customers as though they were part of the family.
Hear From Our Previous Guests...
Our trip was wonderful. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great date night!
Our driver/tour guide/local historian, Mike, was simply perfect. I would request him in the future…
Our driver was extremely friendly, as was our beautiful horse, King. The skyline/tour itself was perfect!

Hire a Carriage for a Special Event
Our horse-drawn carriages are a popular option for wedding parties when we decorate the carriage with flowers and greenery and add a “Just Married” sign. Our horses are gentle and used to music and drumming which makes them ideal for another popular event, Baraat. The horse and handler can be dressed in traditional clothing. We don’t stop at weddings, our carriages are regularly hired for proms, quinceañeras, corporate events, community parties, and funerals.
Who Are The Hitching Company?
We are a team of 18 full employees dedicated to providing new experiences through our Minneapolis carriage rides. Our product is not transportation, although we do physically move people, we transport people mentally with the sounds, aromas, and sensation of both the horse and carriage adding ambiance suiting the occasion.
