Memorable Night In Victoria - 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.

Beautiful city. - 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.
