Caleche Rides - Mont Royal

Hello,
My husband and I will be in Montreal later in February and were thinking of taking a trip up Mont Royal by horse-drawn caleche. Does anyone know where you would find one in the park or book one in advance?
Has anyone done this, and if so, what did you think?

Thanks!

You dont need to book in advance they wait for you by beaver pond on the top of Mount Royal, However the better tour IMHO is taking a caleche ride in Old Montreal which you can find at the old port, it is more romantic, like europe, and combined with a nice meal is superb

Thanks for the info! We've been to the old town before (and will be going back) but I thought it might be a good way to see Mont Royal (better than walking). Do you think we should skip Mont Royal until we can make a trip in the summer, or is the view worth the cold?

I already bought a new winter coat I'm planning to go shopping for long underwear today!
