Experience Island Carriages' Victorian Excursion, a tour of Galveston's East End Historical District.

A horse-drawn carriage will guide you along tree-lined streets providing you a vantage point to note architectural details of these era mansions. Towering pillars, shadowed silhouettes of ornate carvings, a splash of stained glass in a window, wide welcoming porches, a hit of wrought iron fencing, all reminders of Galveston's "Gilded Age."

You may also choose to visit The Strand, Galveston's Historic Landmark District. Island Carriages' Strand Tour is a step back in time along with a working seaport of the 1800s. A vacation to The Strand is a vacation in itself.

Also providing services for weddings, anniversaries, corporate parties, and other special occasions.
