Thanks Betul. That's what we love to hear!!!

Kirsty Rockliff 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Yesterday we had an amazing tour around Battery Point (the 1hour tour) and it was marvellous. Mickey and Red ( beautiful horses) did a wonderful job of pulling us around the hills. Our carriage driver and tour guide was amazing, full of knowledge of the area, architecture and was amazing at directing traffic around us in a safe and thoughtful manner. I would highly recommend this tour to learn about the colourful history of the area and lovely outing in a beautiful carriage. Thank you team

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thank you Kirsty for your very kind words! Isn't Battery Point just wonderful? We are so lucky in Hobart to have retained such historic buildings and we feel that's what makes us so unique in Australia. Our beautiful boys, Mickey and Red have been with us from the beginning so coming on 10 years now and they're still full of playful energy (and still trying to work out who's the boss amongst them!) We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with us.

Troy Thomson 8 months ago

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thank you Tony! You're absolutely right- it is a relaxing way to see Hobart. Our carriage is so comfortable! Often people associate carriages with being bumpy but our pneumatic tyres and suspension ensure an incredibly smooth ride. Add the luxurious leather seats and you're in heaven! We hope you can come back and enjoy another tour soon!

Narelle Zolek 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: We had a lovely tour around Battery Point with informative commentary. And throughly enjoyed meeting Soxie and Hank and their humans. But my absolute favourite was Gracie. Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Narelle Yes, it is sometimes hard to know who is the bigger star - the horses or Gracie the carriage dog! She certainly has her admirers and why not? What a lovable character! Thank you so much for your kind review and we love it that you've enjoyed travelling around Battery Point - a very special place that Tasmanians hold close to their heart. May it remain preserved for many years to come.

Mary Fairburn 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Socks and Hank (The horses) did an incredible job taking us in and around Battery Point. With Steve providing us with some great insight into the history of the suburb and its buildings. We had a fantastic time from start to finish, including Sharon’s easy booking process via phone. She and Steve were very accommodating, allowing us to change our tour last minute with no hassle or extra cost. So glad we had the opportunity to explore Hobart in such an exciting way, highly recommend this trip for an added bit of fun on your visit!

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Mary. We'd like to thank you for your kind review and know how much it is really appreciated! We're glad you took our Battery Point tour - it really is a beautiful spot which a lot of visitors to Hobart completely overlook and it's a pleasure to show this very special place. We're so proud that it has been preserved for future generations to appreciate. Enjoy your time in Tasmania and best wishes for your future!!

Mahala Kippist 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Was an amazing experience through the Hobart City. The rider was very informative with places to visit and things to do in Tasmania. We did it at sunset and the views were unreal.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Mahala It's such a beautiful time of the evening to take a carriage ride and, especially in Autumn, the sky is just breathtaking. We're so happy you all enjoyed your trip with us and, hopefully, all your experiences in Tasmania.

HenDRicK oo7 1 year ago

Negative experience: We were on vacation last Easter long weekend and visiting Salamanca market, on the way to have dinner in Rockwall and Grill Restaurant . We about to have a ride but unlucky you guys about to closed 6pm and we asking nicely if we can take pictures of the horses, the Gentleman who work here long hair nicely tell us that we can pet as well . But accidentally my partners pet on area near stomach as both of us dont have experience with the horse, the old lady who work here extremely abusing my partner, very rude old lady , she look like lady in the movies Games of Thrones, Scarie Seem this old lady doesn't like Asian people and never go overseas for holiday. If you have Asian back ground like us it's better stay awayyyyyyyy spend your money somewhere else

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Your personal attack on my appearance is unwarranted and rude. Asian tourists make up a great deal of our guests and we have absolutely no issue with any race whatsoever and for you to insinuate this is again, uncalled for and completely wrong. Given we said you can take photos (for no charge) and pat the horses, it is clear we have no issues with any Asian tourists, even if they are wanting to come and touch the horses and take photos without even taking a tour. However, it is extremely important that you follow directions when doing so. If you have no knowledge of horses, you need to be guided where the appropriate places to touch a horse are. Touch them in the sensitive places and you could cop a bite or a kick and then you would be complaining!

Xavier Russell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome attraction . Do yourself a favour Go for a tour . Keep the horses employed

Simone Harper 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience ! We had a member of our group with mobility issues and it posed no issues . The lovely staff were very accomodating and knowledgeable. A memorable experience .

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks so much Simone. We really aim for everyone, no matter what their age or ability, to enjoy a carriage ride, meet the horses and experience Hobart in the most unique way. We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Fantastic experience: This was one of the best experiences we had visiting Hobart, the kids loved it and we all could not stop smiling.

leigh morante 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Sharon ,Steve and co were absolutely fantastic. The love of what they do and the love of there horses was truly evident. The knowledge that they shared was proof how passionate they are about the beautiful place they live .Never once did it feel rushed and awesome value for money can't wait for our next visit to Hobart highly recommend thankyou

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Leigh. Thank you so much for your very kind words and it just encompasses exactly how we feel about our horses and our beautiful little city of Hobart. We hope you will be back! Every carriage ride is unique, we can guarantee that. Thank you again!

LESLEY HALL 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Where do we start, this was absolutely fantastic. We four set off with Steve and the boys. Steve gave us a look into the past about Battery Point. The 1 hour tour with our bottle of Tassi Sav Blanc is an afternoon to remember. We 4 would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to enjoy a relaxed afternoon tour around Battery Point. Thank you Lesley, Greg, Denise and Chris

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks everyone! It was an absolute pleasure to take you through Hobart's jewel in the crown - Battery Point. And, it's always a little more enjoyable with a little glass of wine in hand! Sincere thanks to you for your very kind words.

Alex Jackson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Steve and his trusty steeds (rescued slaughter horses) do a fantastic job, the carriage is a dreamy smooth ride helping us long-time locals see our waterfront in a different way. Highly recommend.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks for your great review Alex. Yes, one thing not a lot of people know is that all of our horses are rejects from racing (or worse), who now have a meaningful and purposeful life with us. Soxy, for example, is now 23 years old and was destined for the pet food market when he was rescued to be a carriage horse. That was 16 years ago and he's still going strong. And, yes, our carriage is a smooth ride!! So smooth, it will calm the most fractious child. Thanks so much for your recommendations :)

Jessica Mulhall 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Worth every penny. We didn't the 100 minute tour throigh Battery Point and Elizabeth Pier. Extremely accommodating and knowledgeable hosts. The horses did a great job.

Joshua Masterson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I booked this for my wife, on her first visit to Hobart, as a unique introduction to the picturesque waterfront of the city. She enjoyed it more than I could have imagined. As a horse rider, she was thrilled by the opportunity to ride up with Steve and talk horses. Even though it was raining and cold, my son and I were warm and comfortable in the carriage, with the roof half-closed. Overall a great experience, highly recommended!

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks Josh for the 5 stars!

Jessica Martin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Worth every penny. We didn't the 100 minute tour throigh Battery Point and Elizabeth Pier. Extremely accommodating and knowledgeable hosts. The horses did a great job.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks for your kind review Jessica. We're so happy you enjoyed your Trot Through Time tour, even though the weather was not the most co-operative! The horses are the best, aren't they? The boys know their job and they're really confident. So much so, that Steve says if they learn to talk, he's out of a job!

Glen C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It was wonderful to go on a carriage ride around the dock area, and meet Gracie the cattle dog

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thank you Glen for your very kind review. Gracie sends her thanks too! She's becoming more popular than the horses! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us.

Hi Nathan Thanks so much for taking the time to review us AND for giving us 5 stars. We rely so much on people such as yourselves taking the time to tell others what they enjoyed about our tours. We hope you can come again soon as we always more to show you. Hobart is such a fascinating place and we never tire of sharing our passion for this city with others.

Adam 1 year ago

Negative experience: The older lady that works for this business should be ashamed of herself! She left the carriage today, and abused a group of people who were giving away stickers near the Salamanca Markets. My young son was standing there with other children, while she abused the people with all manner of ridiculous accusations. Completely unprofessional and uncalled-for. I will never recommend this business while she continues to work there.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hello Adam. I'm sorry if you think I was abusing people and that was definitely not the case. I was having a discussion with them, they were having a discussion with me. Neither of us were abusing each other. And there were certainly no accusations of anything on either side! We simply disagreed with each other's point of view. A healthy debate on subjects which affect all of Tasmanians should be welcomed on both sides.

Teneile Hutchinson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was a lovely experience we booked after seeing the horses go past our hotel. Very accommodating for our 2yr old Who decided after 5mins she wanted to sit at the front in which Steve pulled over when safe and allowed her at the top with dad! Well priced, my only suggestion is to ensure you book in as spaces fill fast and we almost missed out!

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Teneile. Many thanks for your lovely review and for the great photos you posted! We love it when the kids really have a great experience and we hope it's a long lasting memory for them. Yes, definitely book online and ahead to ensure you don't miss out. We're glad you didn't!!

Ruby Rose 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful time on our carriage ride with our 2 year old daughters on Saturday! I think it was the highlight of their trip to Tassie and the owners and horses were so lovely! Such a wonderful thing to do and really gives you a feel of what it may have been like living in battery point back in the day. We only did the 20 minute ride but easily could’ve gone longer! Would recommend as a must do if you’re visiting Hobart (us parents loved it too!)

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks Ruby for your great review and your wonderful photos too! It's really special to us to see how the kids interact with the horses and it can be the start of a lifelong love of horses. We're so glad you all enjoyed your time with us and really look forward to seeing you again!

Kim Freeman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working at DarkPark for 2 weeks located near this business. I have had the lovely experience of meeting these Horses & their nice Humans as well. It filled my heart to see the effort going into looking after the horses, and their attention to detail when getting the beautiful carriage ready. Lovely people running a business worth your support.

Sakshi khanna 1 year ago

Negative experience: The lady was pretty rude. Doesn’t know how to speak to kids. When it’s a hospitality business least is to respect the customers if u can’t then not the best to be in the business. Feel sorry for her

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

We feel it was rather presumptuous of you to place your child in the carriage without permission! Our previous guests had barely disembarked before you did so. You were explained the tours and that we would be available to take you on a tour but we must attend to the horses and our previous guests first. You agreed but then walked away. It is not acceptable to just invite yourself onto a tour without permission so we are unsure why you feel it was acceptable in this case. We take safety very seriously and we do not allow guests to board without first ensuring everything is properly in place and that someone is available to assist them. Especially when children are involved, it is vital that our procedures are followed and, in this case, you chose to circumvent our protocol.

Brittany Mennenga 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was an amazing experience! We went on the 30 minute ride and it did not disappoint! We learned so much about the buildings, history, the carriage, everything! The horses were amazing and well behaved and it really was just such a beautiful experience! 5/5 would recommend!

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Brittany Thanks for the great, heartfelt review. It is incredibly appreciated. Your photos were great too! There's so much to learn about Hobart's history, we can't fit it all in to even an hour tour so we certainly hope you can return and enjoy the experience again.

It's Me 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A perfect way to see a bit of historic Hobart and knowledge along the way. Friendly owners and beautiful horses that have been given a second life after racing. A wonderful way to spend an hour and perfectly enjoyable for adults and kids. Looking forward to trying a different tour next time.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks for reviewing us!! We try to make every tour special and, even if you've done a tour before, you are sure to find out some new gem of info! The wonderful feeling of travelling in a horse drawn carriage never dims! Believe us, after almost 9 years, we still love it.

Rebecca Prout 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was one of the best experiences we had visiting Hobart, the kids loved it and we all could not stop smiling.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Hi Rebecca That is the most satisfying thing to read that the kids are really enjoying the experience. We hope that it is something they will remember for a long time and, you never know, it may plant the seed that develops into a true love of horses in the future!

Fantastic experience: Sharon and Steve made our last night in Tasmania amazing. We took the waterfront tour and it did not disappoint. Steve was very knowledgeable in all things horses, Hobart and Tasmania. The carriage was in immaculate condition and very comfy. The two horses were in pristine condition and very calm throughout our journey (A credit to Sharon and Steve). It was such a pleasure to relax and take the sites in by horse and carriage. This is definitely a must do and it won't disappoint. If I could give more stars I would. Thanks again guys a credit to you both.

kyle stratton 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very affordable experience and great way to see hobart township. The tour is roughly 20mins and the guides are very friendly down to earth people. Blankets are on board to keep you warm on those chilly nights. The tours run from the end of the Salamanca markets or can be from other pickup venues by arrangement. Booking is essential as the slots run out fast.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Many thanks Kyle for the great review and the photos are awesome. Such a lovely time to tour in the evening and often warmer than the middle of the day! We hope to see you again and don't forget you can do 4 different tours and there's always something new to see.

Positive experience: The owners are very lovely and kind. Unfortunately for us on the day we had booked for it was drizzling and began to train as we were taking off so we could not experience it to the best of what it has to offer. When making your bookings try book close to the date to be certain of the weather forecast, they do not cancel rides unless its very extreme weather conditions.

Fantastic experience: Must do if you are in Hobart !!! This experience is worth every $ and you should definitely try it. Waterfront ride was absolutely amazing and Steve told us about history of the city. Horses & carriage were decked up and it was truly a heritage ride giving us a chance to feel like prince & princess : )

Fantastic experience: Excellent ride. The horses were majestic and the carriage was absolutely beautiful. The hosts were very friendly. We did the 20 min tour along the Hobart waterfront. Would highly recommend one of the longer tours. We enjoyed it very much... especially my 2 year old.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thank you Ameya. Yes, we have 4 tours in Hobart all up and you can experience a carriage ride from 20 minutes to 1.5 hours. Not only the kids enjoy it, but we know the grown ups do too. We hope to see you again soon!

Joel Bassett 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We went for the High Tea drive this afternoon with Steve and Sharon and their lovely 2 standardbreds. It was cold and windy but was an absolutely great drive. Steve and Sharon were very welcoming and such lovely company. Steve's knowledge of Hobart's history combined with his exceptional horsemanship was a real privilege to be watch. Both horses and humans were immaculately presented despite the chilly conditions and they even brought us a blanket to keep warm. Would recommend everyone visiting Hobart to give them a call and join them for a lovely drive through Hobart's history.

Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages

Thanks for your very kind review Joel. It was an absolute pleasure to show you both a place that is really close to our hearts - beautiful Battery Point. August surely is not the best weather wise but at least we were lucky to have a sunny day, despite the very chilly wind. Definitely lets you know you're at 42 degrees south. Have a wonderful time in Tasmania and Happy Honeymoon!

Wurst Semmel 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: This was our third tour with Heritage Horse Drawn Carriages and it was as fantastic as always. We did the Trot through Time tour (Waterfront and Battery Point). Steve is very knowledgeable and always comes up with some new information to share. We take all our interstate/international visitors, it's simply the best thing for visitors to do in Hobart and, selfishly, we rather enjoy it ourselves.

Fantastic experience: We did the Battery Point tour, fitted 4 adults 3 little kids comfortably. Steve did a great job with the tour and gave lots of information. The horses are fantastic. Highly recommend as a great way to see the old housing district of Hobart. Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words. So glad you enjoyed your jaunt around Battery Point. It really is a unique part of Australia's colonial history and we hope that, by showing as many people as possible, that it will be preserved for future generations. Many thanks again
