Izzy the rider, was super nice and told us the whole story of Victoria. Izzy was patient and lovely, as was Moon her horse. We had a great night tour. I will definitely recommend

Not what we expected. Hard to hear the driver and sights were not that interesting. Would not recommend

Our delightful tour guide, Hannah, shared fun and fascinating stories about almost everything we passed, at the same time as expertly jockeying an ancient Percheron and carriage through busy streets. Very impressive and a very entertaining ride overall.

We booked this tour in October 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The information provided by the guide was interesting, and the views were beautiful. We especially liked how well cared for and healthy the horses are. I recommend this if you visit Victoria.

We went on May 14 2021 - Our operator Hannah was very knowledgeable, handled the carriage extremely well, the instructions spoken softly to the horse, JT, were heard and immediately responded to. The information provided to us was very interesting, even though we both have lived in Victoria all our lives, we heard items new to us!!
Was a very enjoyable and relaxing tour on a beautiful sunny afternoon.
Thank you so much, and we will join you again for another carriage ride.

Great experience. 45 min trip was awesome. Jack the horse and his beautiful driver (cant remember her name. Sorry) were wonderful

We went on the 45 minute Beacon Hill tour with Hannah as our guide and Dutchie as our horse. Both were AMAZING! Hannah graciously answered all our questions and gave us some great facts and entertaining stories about the Victorian landmarks we passed. We would 100% recommend this to others!

We took the tour today with Kirin and Elsie through Beacon Hill Park. Our kids had a blast and so did we. We loved learning about the park and about the James Bay neighbourhood. Kirin and Elsie were both great. Our kids were saying they missed Elsie at dinner time. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
