Electric Carriage Tour of the Old Town

About this activity

Our carriages are much more than just a transport: they are an experience.

Created with the best of 2 worlds, they integrate the best of history and today to provide comfortable, quiet and completely ecological journeys.

Each aspect has been designed for visitors to experience a tour full of history and sophistication, while appreciating the city’s landscapes and architecture. They maintain the contemporary and sustainable approach that distinguishes our company.

It is perfect for those who want to explore the city in a unique, quiet and different way.

By day, in the radiant sun, or at night, between ancient lights and the glow of the dim lights of the Old Town, our carriages generate a charming atmosphere that invites you to disconnect from the daily routine and savor the moment.
