Review of Mackinac Island Carriage Tours

Wow this one is hard and mixed to review. You boar...

Wow this one is hard and mixed to review. You board a carriage down by the docks. Well first you sign in and they give you a boarding time, and then you board. The first stage was very enjoyable. The driver was from Morocco, he's studying to be a doctor. However their practace is ti take a year break before doing their internships. So he's here driving horses for the 1st time. The horses Bill and Rocco were both beautiful. The driver was both very funny and fully understandable. The trip goes to the top of the hill out of town. To a museum and butterfly house.

The 2nd part takes a 3 horse team and goes through the Nation Forrest Park to Arch Rock before coming back to the Fort then back to museum where you can catch a ride back to town or walk. We had a young lady, actually from the ares as huide through 2nd pary, I think Brittany or something. Safly can't remember horses names either. The sights were great, the driver was horrible. She was extremely unfunny, but kept trying to be. She non stopped chattered about nonsense and degraded the Myths of the local tribes. To top it off when she did have something informative to say she mumbled. It made the 2nd have almost unbearable. I was somewhat able to tune here out and enjoy the sights. The person I was with was even more annoyed by 2nd driver.

Overall I guess 3 stars. Would I return? No.
