Experience the charm of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in a private horse-drawn carriage tour, wrapped in blankets and sipping on hot cocoa or Glühwein. The tour begins with a short walk from your hotel through the historic district of the town, including a brief stop at the famous Chocolatier Amelie. Guests then make their way to Ludwigstrasse in Partenkirchen, where the carriage awaits. Once everyone is comfortable and warm, the carriage winds its way through the scenic streets of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, while your private guide shares captivating stories about World War II, the Roman Road, the 1936 Olympics, and more. The tour concludes at the Fiaker Hof on Ludwigstrasse, giving guests the chance to take photos and enjoy one final warm beverage before returning to their hotel or the train station.
In addition to the scenic and historical journey, this tour explores the intriguing story of Nazi gold rumored to have been hidden in the Bavarian Alps at the end of World War II. Starting in Mittenwald, the tour follows the path of Colonel Franz Wilhelm Pfeiffer and the men who hid the gold, continuing through the Karwendel Mountains and the Forest House, before returning to Garmisch-Partenkirchen to reveal the mysteries surrounding its final fate. For those interested, an optional chocolate experience can be added, where guests visit a local chocolatier, learn about the history and types of chocolate, and create their own chocolate to take home. This combination of scenic carriage ride, historical storytelling, and hands-on chocolate making provides a unique and memorable Alpine adventure.

This is definitely a sad sight to find in Dublin. Drivers drop off riders then sprint their horses back to the Guiness pick up line. The horses look exhausted, underfed, and generally very unhealthy. Please do not support this.

I personally own horses and understand that horses should not be used in the city. For tourist amusement! It's disgusting. It's the horse that suffers, this incident happened 11 Sep 25 around 4pm. Poor horse is in a deal of pain, bleeding from right rear leg. Surrounded by people that don't know what to do, when I offered an opinion it's don't stand around move on. A horse 'person' finally listened and went and got some cold water to help with swelling. Terrible for the horses, all so a few 'men' can earn a buck. Personally owning horses, it's a disgrace to see.

couldn’t give 0 stars but would have. horrible neglect of horses care, horses hooves in terrible condition proving they are not being groomed properly and are undernourished. long hours of horses on the streets, i saw the same horses out there all day. being driven by young careless drivers who i would not trust for a second
Anna
Disaster!!! The horses are mistreated and have open wounds!! They don't get enough break, don't have a species-appropriate posture. The treatment of the horses is miserable. When I asked the owner, they absolutely don't care. They take the horse until it breaks down - I mean are we in Egypt?? I wonder why the city of Dublin allows something like this - we live in the year 2025! It should slowly become clear to everyone that horses in cities is torture. Anyone who rides in such a carriage should imagine being the horse themselves!

We shared a ride the Ron n Maria. John, our tour guide was wonderful. He told us so much about the history of the buildings n places we rode past. His horse Del was a true gentlehorse n dealt with everything that the streets through at him. Even the silly barking fox terriers that almost jumped out the driver's side window as they drove past.
