Carriage tours
Horse-drawn carriage tours of Dublin
Four routes we run day in, day out — and none of them are set in stone. Tell us how long you have and what you want to see, and we will build the ride around it.
The full loop of Georgian Dublin
Historic Dublin City Tour
The tour the family has been running since 1994. A full circuit of the city centre at a walking pace, with David pointing out what you are passing and answering whatever you want to ask.
- 45–60 minutes
- Up to 4 adults per carriage

The oldest quarter of the city
Guinness & The Liberties
A shorter ride through the Liberties — the medieval heart of Dublin and the streets the brewery was built on. Ideal if you are coming out of the Guinness Storehouse and want to see the area properly.
- 25–30 minutes
- Up to 4 adults per carriage

Lamps lit, blankets out
Romantic Evening Ride
The carriages carry brass lamps for night work and blankets for the cold. If you are proposing, tell us when you book and we will get the timing and the spot right without making a production of it.
- 30–45 minutes
- Two people, one carriage

SeasonalGrafton Street and Henry Street after dark
Dublin Christmas Lights
From mid-November the city centre is lit end to end, and a carriage at walking pace is the best seat in Dublin for it. Books out early — December weekends go first.
- 30–45 minutes
- Up to 4 adults per carriage

Where do we pick up?
The Dublin carriage rank is on the Grafton Street side of St Stephen’s Green, and rides also start near the Guinness Storehouse. Book ahead and we will meet you at a set time, at the Green or at your hotel door.
What happens if it rains?
The carriages are convertible. The hood goes up, the blankets come out and the tour carries on. Dublin weather has never cancelled one yet.
Can you take bigger groups?
Four adults to a carriage. For a bigger party we run several carriages together — give us a few days’ notice and it is easily done.
Every price we quote is for the whole carriage — not per person. You will be told the full price before the horse moves, and it will not change.
Ring David and book a carriage
A phone call is the quickest way to get a firm price and a time. There is no deposit and no booking fee.
