See the festive routeDublin Carriage Company runs guided horse-drawn tours from St. Stephen's Green through the most storied streets of the capital. Our drivers are Dubliners with the stories to match, and every tour is priced per carriage, not per person.
Every carriage seats up to four, so a family or two couples pay the same as a single rider. Choose a route, pick a time, and we will be waiting at the stand.
