1st the Horseback riding. Fot the price of $75 a person you can have Country Carriages meet you at Vilano Beach with a private guide to take you on a one hour ride on the beach. This is actually how I decided to propose. They will stop half way to take pictures at which point you have the option to... More

We had the carriage pick us up at our hotel since my wife had a cast on her leg. The driver ( who's name I am sorry to say I forgot) was excellent. He really knew the city and it's history. Our ride was about 45 minutes for $85 plus tip - it was worth every penny. We talked with... More

Best price for a romantic and entertaining carriage ride through the city. A mix of comedy and history. The driver asked what type of ride we preferred, so he did not impose himself too much. A memorable Valentine's evening.

It was expensive, $80 plus tip for the two of us. But the hour long ride was relaxing and fun as we drove through the backways and old streets. Our driver/guide shared lots of great stories with us about the history of the history of the town.

Angel allowed us to take photos with her horse Prince and our dog even though we did not go on a ride. She was very sweet to us and her horse is well cared for. If we had not been on our way out of town already (truck was loaded with luggage already), we would have definitely taken a carriage... More

I'm stressed just writing this review! We decided to take my daughter to St Augustine for spring break at the end of her school year so she could do the #1 thing on her "bucket list"... ride a horse on a beach! She was beyond excited! I called and reserved a guide to take my husband and daughter on a... More

My husband and I took an end-of-the-night carriage ride following our wedding reception. We enjoyed the time alone trolloping through downtown St. Augustine and taking in all of the town's romantic historical sites. What a beautiful way to end a beautiful evening!
