Our horse was Marble and our driver was Mo. They were both very nice. We met the owner who was a very nice man. The whole experience was wonderful and I would recommend this for either something special or if you just want a unique and relaxing experience.

Does time fly too fast when you’re having fun? On our 90 minute tour, sit back, relax, and soak up the numerous additional sites you receive with your extra time. On this tour, we want to ensure that you don’t miss a single thing. Start your ride by winding through the North Loop, learning all about the industrial kingdom that used to rule in the very buildings you pass by. You’ll later find yourself forgetting you are in the heart of Minneapolis, as you stroll along the Mississippi on the quiet and tranquil River Parkway. Watch as the skyline towers over you as you cross the historic Stone Arch Bridge, and step into a time machine while you ride in a private horse carriage over the cobblestones down St. Anthony Main Street. Let time fly while you take in the sights on this extended, all-inclusive tour.
Due to the Stone Arch Bridge being closed, the 90-minute tour will not go along Main Street and over the Stone Arch Bridge. The carriage will still go over the Hennepin Avenue bridge and around Nicollet Island. We will update the website when the bridge re-opens. We apologize for any inconvenience.

What You’ll Do & See
Travel Along the Mississippi River to Experience the Best of Minneapolis
On our relaxing 90-minute horse-drawn carriage tour, we’ll take you winding through the North Loop. Here you’ll learn about the industrial kingdom that used to be ruled from within the very buildings that we will pass by. While we’ll technically be in the city, we’ll then take you to the River Parkway – the quiet and tranquil heart of Minneapolis. Take in some of the city’s best views with the backdrop of calming hoofbeats. When we cross the Stone Arch Bridge, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a time machine. City streets will turn to cobblestone as we take you down St. Anthony Main Street. Don’t worry, though, as the carriage is still comfortable as it’s going over the cobblestones. This extended, all-inclusive tour is the best way to see Minneapolis in 90 minutes!
