Highlights
Outing Highlights
Flexible routes keep every ride fresh
The tour can follow several different routes or let the guide surprise you, so each 30-minute carriage ride can reveal a different corner of Omaha rather than the same scripted circuit.
A family outing where kids ride free
The Vis-a-Vis is tailored to families: children 12 and under ride free when accompanied by an adult, making this a low-friction way to introduce kids to the city's sights.
Short, surprising, and easy to slot into your day
At half an hour, the ride is deliberately compact — enough time to get a sense of place without committing to a long tour, so it’s ideal as a standalone experience or an accompaniment to other plans.

What the 30 minutes feel like
The trip unfolds as a short, guided carriage loop through Omaha along one of several possible routes.
