It was a great... - It was a great experience. The horses were very well taken care of and loved. They let us spend time with the horses and gave a ton of information and photo opportunity. They were really helpful and very kind. Must do experience

Informative and relaxing - If you like horses this is a must do trip. You get to feed the horses in their stables before your carriage ride. The guide also tells you a bit about carriage riding in Vienna which was very interesting. The ride itself is very relaxing and once you near the city you can see some wonderful buildings and architecture. For those who have little interaction with horses this is a great way to learn more about them.

Great experience - The tour was very informative and we learned a lot. The guide was knowledgeable and spoke very clear English. We had two young children who also enjoyed it, as it was very family friendly. The carriage ride was a great way to see the city and dropped off at a very convenient location to continue our exploration of Vienna. Note that the carriage accommodated a small stroller very easily.

Memorable Vienna carriage ride - We loved meeting at the stables to see how well these beautiful horses are cared for and chatting with our wonderful driver who was so friendly. The sound of hooves on the cobblestones was memorable. Thanks for a great experience!

Horse drawn carriage - What a fantastic opportunity to travel around this beautiful city. The weather was warm enough for the roof to be down which meant we had some spectacular views. Although it’s not the cheapest option, it’s well worth it for a memorable trip.

A very memorable part of my trip. Excellent value - The ride itself but also the introductory talk at the stable guide answered my questions. It was good to get in close to some of the horses at the stable., and they liked cuddles!

Fascinating Tour - Had an enjoyable morning finding out a bit more of the history surrounding Viennese Flakers. It was also great to hear how the horses are cared for and and trained. The stables were well kept. Information was given in German and then English so it took a bit longer but gave my daughter an opportunity to practice her German listening skills. I could have just got a horse and carriage ride around the city but starting off at the stables first just made it even more special. Would definitely recommend to anyone with children too.

A complete overview of Carriage driving in Vienna, how this particular family started and their clear devotion. - We had the most amazing and informative tour of the stables followed by a carriage ride through to the centre of Vienna.
It was very relaxed, the horses were incredibly calm and to our surprise, looking over one stable door, we saw 2 Shetland ponies, coming from Orkney, we really hadn't expected that in Vienna!
I would recommend to anyone taking the time to do the stable tour and find out a little of the history of carriage driving in Vienna and also the fantastic way the horses are treated and cared for.
The ride through to the centre of Vienna was marvellous, it is the best way to view this beautiful city and the horses and driver were brilliant.
With many thanks to all involved on that day.

On horseback!!!!! or on foot it's cheaper - So going around Vienna in a horse-drawn carriage is also one of the things to do when you visit this city, but again the price, whether you are alone or with family, leaves something to be desired because 60 euros for 20 minutes, that leaves something to think about for our little French purse!!!!!
Even if the decor is magnificent, I think you should let yourself be tempted, but in the absence of other activities.
Let us be guided!!!!

Carriage ride - Dusappinting. The driver did not explain any of the sites that we passed by on our ride. Not what I expected.
