We had a great time. The... - We had a great time. The mules are obviously well cared for. Our driver was friendly and knowledgable, she let chose where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. My only complaint was when we checked in, the woman who checked oyr tickets and assigned us to a driver was smoking a cigarette right there, didn't even put it down to tend to us.....so GROSS and unprofessional, a huge turn off.

A bad ride - Be very careful. I was getting out of the carriage when the mule frisked, moved all around and started to move backwards. I lost my footing and fell on the ground, as the front wheel of the carriage came very close to running over me. The driver, Trisha, yelled to ask my husband if I was okay and drove away. People walking down the street ran over and helped me stand up. I was bruised and very very shaken up. A shopkeeper let me go in her store to sit as I was about to faint. Thanks slot Trisha don't you have any human decency?????
