We are planning a trip in early June and have booked a carriage tour. In planning out our time, it would be helpful to know how late in the day we can do the carriage tour? A late afternoon or early evening would be wonderful/

Hi Sandee! Our last hour long residential tour leaves at 5:00 that day. We should be offering evening tours that time of year as well. Those are usually offered at 5:45 or 6:00 and are an abbreviated version of the daytime tour. They last 35min.

We are handicapped accessible. We have a ramp that leads to the dock, and the dock is where you will get on your carriage. The dock is level with the carriage so it is just a step away. The walker cannot go on the carriage, but we have a safe place for it while you are on tour. Deb
