Carriage-drawn tours make sightseeing easier, since the gravitational pull of large, rotating wheels draws landmarks nearer. Employ gravity as Newton intended with today’s Groupon to Chariots for Hire.

The Deal

$89 for a country carriage ride for two with light dinner (a $180 value)

Pairs relish a 50-minute romantic ride through the countryside in a private horse-drawn carriage. With the clopping of horses’ heels echoing through the chilly winter air, riders dine on light portions of a three-course dinner or toss bits of cuisine to packs of hungry squirrels. Appetizers such as local veggies and fruit prime taste buds for main courses such as the roasted chicken, bacon, and avocado wrap or the free-range egg-salad sandwich. Meals conclude with sweet bites of Red's mini tart-apple tarts or succulent lemon bars.

Chariots for Hire

Chariot for Hire’s fleet of Cinderella and vis-à-vis carriages escort guests on romantic horse-drawn rides, adding a touch of glamour and grace to escapades and special events. One or two well-groomed horses pull the topped or convertible carriages, escorting magical rides for up to six passengers or one lonely walrus. The majestic white and brown steeds are lovingly cared for at Chariots for Hire's farm and are pampered with a bath and grooming session before taking to the streets in special rubber shoes to protect their hooves. To add poignant symbolism to special events such as weddings or ribbon-cutting ceremonies, the dedicated staff will release a flock white rock doves, who are trained to fly or hitchhike back to the farm after being released.
