Carol was very informative and her horse Appollo was beautiful. There was a bit of construction going on, so we had to take some detours but had a wonderful tour.

The carriage ride was absolutely the perfect way to slow down and soak in the rich history and admire the Victorian architecture. Our tour guide was Martha and our horse power was supplied by Christopher. They are a great team, kept the perfect pace of travel and Martha shared just the right amount of details to make the tour come alive. This is something I can’t wait to do again and would highly recommend.On our last day of a brief trip to Victoria, my wonderful wife and I had a great carriage tour down Menzies St., along the waterfront to Ogden Breakwater, and North again.

On our last day of a brief trip to Victoria, my wonderful wife and I had a great carriage tour down Menzies St., along the waterfront to Ogden Breakwater, and North again. All the way Elliot and Spot negotiated the traffic with care and skill, while Elliot gave us fun information about the places we were seeing. We'd recommend this tour with Tally-Ho, and we'll take another when we go to Victoria again.We had a great Tally-ho carriage ride our only complaint was it wasn’t long enough!

It was wonderful experience with a very cordial and knowledgeable driver. It’s a great way to see different parts of Victoria and learn about the city.
