Horse drawn carriage ride worth it?
So now we are changing to POR again for our september trip. I love POR and every year I think about doing the carriage ride. I was wondering if anyone has ever done it? It says it is $45 but it's just for 25 minutes. Is it worth it? What's your experience? Thanks!

We very much enjoyed it. It can romantic with a bottle of wine. Riding along the cobblestone roads and along the water is also scenic. We had dinner at Boatrights and went to Bob's show that night also.
First trip May 1996 and many since

I don't think you will be disappointed. My lady friend and I have done it twice. We got the same driver who happened to have family living in our area.
Between the ride and the conversation it was great.
Instead of walking the walks in the dark you ride on them and get a whole different look at the area and the resort. It was very relaxing and romantic.
Its a must do at least once. You will need to make reservations by phone or at the conciser desk though.
The first time we were toured through the POFQ resort and along the river, and the second time we were taken throughout the POR resort area.
Hope this helps....

Oh I thought they take you on a full loop around both resorts.

We stayed at POFQ 2 years ago and had a reservation the evening we arrived for a carriage ride. Started at POR and they took us through POFQ as well as a portion of POR. Was about 30 minutes in length if I remember. We loved it and would do it again. The sound of the clip-clops on the cobblestone is wonderful and it was very relaxing and enjoyable!! We also got a glass of wine to enjoy. We were with my parents and our 2 boys who were nice enough to take them in their carriage, while my husband and I took one alone. I would highly recommend doing it at least once.

No romance here. It will be my husband and I, twin 8 year old boys, and mother in-law!

We have done it every year that we have been going (this July will be our 4th trip in 6 years) and would highly recommend it. The driver is very knowledgeable and give you need facts about the property. The routes are so pretty and go slow enough to take pictures. At the end of the ride, the driver will take a very good picture for you...it is one of our favorite pictures...Do It!
