a coachman of the past

a coachman of the present
The coachman of the past was proud of his job as he would drive the coaches of the richest people in the society.
It is surprising to learn that there are still some places in this modern world where coachmen drive horse-drawn coaches along side sophisticated motor vehicles.
In Europe, tourists like to take photos of themselves with the coaches and coachmen they engage to go about a city, mostly in places like Switzerland.
