We had the most incredible experience with our beautiful horse Penny & our lovely guide. Penny had a sassy personality that was adorable & when I asked our guide about the city's haunted history, she was able to tell us some fascinating ghost stories. The weather was perfect but even if it had rained, they were prepared & had a cover for the carriage. We had such a wonderful experience & this ended our visit in Canada perfectly.

Our cruise ship made only a short stop in Victoria so we booked (several months in advance) a carriage ride around downtown so as to see part of this beautiful city. There were 6 adults along for the carriage ride so we had to squeeze in close together. Our driver pointed out some interesting sights along the route, and we all enjoyed watching and listening to her interactions with the well-trained Clydesdale.
