In 1903, the Tourist Association of Victoria introduced the Tally-Ho to provide guided city tours, aiming to attract visitors and settlers, thus beginning a tradition that has delighted guests for over 120 years. What sets Tally-Ho apart is that it’s more than just a tour; it’s a living piece of Victoria’s history. Featuring its iconic horse-drawn carriages and personal, locally-inspired storytelling, it offers a unique chance to experience the city in a manner that respects its past while creating lasting memories.

The cherished Tally-Ho horses, now considered “at risk” of becoming endangered, are beloved symbols of Victoria, admired by both locals and visitors. During each tour, professional and enthusiastic guides share captivating history, local folklore, and exclusive insights, offering a personalized experience rather than just standard information. Join this exceptional adventure that blends history, heritage, and the true spirit of Victoria while preserving a piece of its iconic past.
