Our driver was great! And Jack Sparrow (the horse) lived up to his name.
Loved it!! Love that the driver gave us the option to either have a guided tour of Victoria, or we could choose to just sit and talk. We opted for the tour and I am so glad we did! Our driver was super knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about Victoria. Highly recommend
Our party of 6 had a port stop in Victoria for a very short period of time on a Thursday evening. As we walked to a restaurant, we passed the curbline with all the horses and carriages. I inquired about the rides, and the attendant handed me a card and answered my questions. We came back after dinner, booked the ride, and set off on our experience. We did not make reservations. Libby, our guide, gave us lots of interesting information about all kinds of things as we clip-clopped through the neighborhoods. Our horse, Fender, was a very good boy. In telling us about Fender, she informed us that part of the price of the ride went towards a retirement fund for the horses. Libby asked if we noticed that Fender was getting a little excited and going a little faster than normal. With that, she extended our tour to accommodate for the time "lost". I would highly recommend a ride with this company. It was a beautiful night in Victoria, and we are very happy with the memories we left with.
very nice, and enjoyable, the driver was really fun and knowledgeable, very interesting information.
Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable! We learned a lot about local history. From ages 11 through 71, everyone raved about the carriage ride!!!
The tour was good. Our driver was fairly new and didn't know much about the area but she tried. She also had her back to us most of the time which made it hard to hear her when she did talk about the places we were coming up to or passing by. The places were beautiful that we could see because it was dark. Wish we could have seen it during the daytime, but not your fault, cruise ship docked late. Zach, the horse was great. Thank you.
Ellis did a great job showing us the city. It was fun to see Victoria at night! She was very knowledgeable about the area. And Chris, the horse, did a great job too!
We didn’t get off the ship on time-an hour later we finally got off-when we arrived for our carriage ride they got us right on!! Jenna was a delight-and Mac was amazing trotting us around!! Would highly recommend!!
Not very good at all . Guide was not very engaging at all and could not hear her. Only tour that we did all week that I would not recommend.
Juliette was very knowledgeable and extremely personable. We greatly enjoyed our experience. Elsie, our horse, was so well behaved and such a sweet, gentle soul.
