Aaliyah and Max were such a great team. Wr arrived a bit early and they started right away. We know its a good tour when we have lived in Vic our while lives, and she was telling us things we had never heard. Hard to keep 2 boys under the age of 10 engaged, and she did a great job chatting, and entertaining all their questions and comments. Living here over 40 years, we never really thought to do ...

Our driver Ursula was an absolute delight. The carriage ride through town was wonderful. I so enjoyed the sound of the horses hooves clapping through the neighborhood. We got to feed our horse and do a little photo shoot at the end of the ride. This is a do not miss activity when visiting Victoria.

Ursula and Fusion were the best team! We had so much fun learning about Victoria, seeing all the sights and taking a stroll along the ocean. It was the perfect way to end our trip and celebrate our engagement! Highly recommend!

We went on a 30 min tour ride. Our guide Kassidy was fantastic, she was very informative and very kind. She told us a lot about Victoria’s history. We would definitely come back if we can. Also shout out to our lovely horse Frankie he was amazing as well. If you’re looking for a good horse tour Kassidy and Frankie is the way to go!

When is the best time to visit Tally-Ho Carriage Tours (Victoria, Canada)?

In December, book the Holiday Caroling Tour early for a lit-up winter ride. During rainy months, rely on free ponchos and the convertible roof to stay dry.
