Victoria Carriage Tours

We were on the 45 minute tour through the park and surrounding streets, our guide was very informative and knew much about the city and its history. Would consider doing it again!

We enjoyed a lovely tour with JT the horse. The driver was so knowledgeable about the area and very helpful in suggesting other places to visit. The care of the horses is incredible! It was nice to learn that the horses live on a 20 acre farm and they are so happy to do their jobs! We highly recommend this company for visit to Victoria, they truly went above and beyond our expectations!!

interesting and fun. A good way to see the city. My little one felt like a princess in the carriage.

Went for a tour on New Years Eve 2020 - my husband and I were so happy to find something that was open! Our driver was kind, courteous, and very knowledgeable and Tommy the horse expertly navigated Victoria's streets smoothly and with ease. Though I've lived in Vic for years, I learned lots during this ride and regret not doing a carriage ride sooner! This is something I recommend to travelers and locals alike.

The horses look nice and healthy and well cared for. The tour is interesting and the view is lovely.

We did the tour "Our Very Best (90 Minutes)" an hour before sundown with Kelly as our driver Emily as an interning driver and the beautiful old horse Molly. They picked us up at the hotel (special promo) and we started the tour by saying hi to Molly the Clydesdale. We trotted past attractions such as the Legislative Buildings, and the Fairmont Empress with some casual commentary on the historical significance. We continued into Beacon Hill Park and Kelly shared some fascinating stories about the parks history. Next Kelly took us through the historical James bay neighborhood with some of the city's oldest houses and a really cool story about the city encouraging owners to register the homes as historical houses and keeping them up in an authentic fashion.

As the sun set we enjoyed a view of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. We trotted up Government street through Old Town to Chinatown and back through another street in Old Town with its original waterfront buildings, ending back at the carriage stand near The Empress. I had seen many parts of the city before the tour but from the carriage I got to see them in a new way, perhaps because when walking and driving you see things at eye level but in the carriage it's easy to look up at the old buildings and take it all in without the need to pay attention to the road or foot traffic. For much of the tour Emily drove while Kelly regaled us with stories of the history of the place. Emily's driving made us feel safe even when others on the road were reckless and Kelly's stories seemed natural and un-rehearsed. Like a good waiter they were seemed present when we wanted but the tour was private enough to be romantic. I highly recommend Victoria Carriage Tours call and ask if these two are available for a tour and if you can do it with the sun setting between the park and old town.

Had a great time. We did the 45 min tour and our driver was amazing. I believe her was Emily. She gave us the option of how much of a guided tour we would like, we asked for the works, and she was great. She knew a lot of small facts of everything along the way. I would go again just to hear more tour info. The driver had a very good relationship with the horse. You could tell she cared about her and make sure the horse was safe.

Took my wife on a carriage ride for our wedding anniversary, we both were very impressed with the driver and horse (moon)! We took the 30 min "by the sea" tour at sunset and it was very romantic. The crew were very friendly and the horses were very nice and calm. Thank you for a wonderful tour
