Perfect way to start your trip in Victoria! - Absolutely the best way to get an overview of Victoria! So much fun to see everything from the horse and carriage-our driver/guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and told us so many fun and fascinating stories, we just had a great time! I would recommend to everyone visiting Victoria, especially for the first time!

Great tour for quick port stop - We only had a few hours in Victoria so decided on this tour. They were great communicators! Our driver, Alex, was awesome. She knew lots of history of the area and the horses. I loved that she was proud to share her community. It was hard for us to truly appreciate the landscape because it was getting dark but the ride was a fun way to get a quick overview of the city. Thanks Alex! The horses are beautiful.

Magical Tour - My husband and I took our two teenage daughters on the one-hour tour and it was magical! Brianna, our guide, was engaging and made us feel at home in her city. She let my daughters pet and feed the horse, Spot, beforehand. And she felt like a friend instead of a tour guide. We got to see the Parliament building, the historic houses, Beacon Hill Park and the Sea. It was a slow, peaceful, quiet way to tour. We're so glad we did the full hour!

Picturesque Scenes of Victoria - Quaint way to see Victoria. This was our only tour for this port. Headed to the meeting location well before our designated start time so we would know where to go. At their suggestion, we took an earlier tour. Great way to see parts of local area that you may not necessarily see on your own. Tyler, our guide/driver was friendly and knowledgeable. King, our horse was kind and gentle. Enjoyed the relaxing ride before we headed to lunch at a place Tyler suggested and then some shopping before heading back to the ship.
