Itinerary

On this personalized 45-minute horse-drawn carriage tour of Victoria, experience the beauty and history of Victoria's James Bay neighborhood and the refreshing breeze of the Salish Sea on a relaxing horse-drawn carriage ride.

Travel through the charming streets of James Bay, a quaint, old-fashioned neighborhood of well-preserved architecture, charming gardens and historical sites. As you approach the water, hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and enjoy the stunning ocean views, with the Olympic Mountains towering in the distance. The Salish Sea is one of the world’s largest and biologically rich inland seas. Its name honors the first inhabitants of the region, the Coast Salish people.

This private tour will be personalized for you, with the right mix of historical information, local folklore and simple relaxation as you sit back and enjoy the clip-clop of your horse's hooves.

Look for the burgundy Tally-Ho kiosk. Upon arrival you will be escorted to your carriage where you will be introduced to your horse and have the opportunity to capture memorable photos before you embark upon your journey.

The ride was an experience we had been talking about doing for years and was amazing. Hats off to the fox tailed horse for an amazing tour and our very friendly coachman.

Would have liked to learn more about the city. Not what i expected. We walked most of the area that the driver took us to. Just a residential neighborhood

We had such a fun time last night with Kyra. She wasn’t originally suppose to be our driver, but we were early and bonded so much while waiting that she swapped places. She is a joy and very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Victoria. The carriage was super comfortable and Jerry was such a great horse. It is clear he is loved and well taken care of and we loved feeding him candy canes! Was amazing seeing all the Christmas lights by carriage, especially the Legislature Building. We would definitely recommend Tally-Ho and Kyra!

I was visiting a friend in Victoria BC and decided to treat her with a old fashion carriage tour. In was a beautiful fall day on a Friday. Kayla was our guide was full of information about Victoria and had some great stories to tell. We laughed a lot. We felt safe with Jerry the big horse pulling leading us to beautiful views. It is a treat that should seriously be considered when visiting Victoria.
