A fab time - A brilliant way to spend the evening. We boarded at 9pm - Caitlyn on bookings was such a star because our cruise ship was scheduled later than originally thought so she changed the booking and promptly changed it back again when I contacted to say we'd made better time than expected. Caitlyn is probably the must helpful smiley person I've met in a while. She was a great ambassador. The tour was brilliant with Ursula pointing out areas of interest throughout the drive - houses, history, Beacon Hill Park - and fusion the horse gave us a lovely ride. Thoroughly recommend this tour but if you're on a cruise ship, book before you go. V limited spaces on the evening.

Fun and unique way to see the sights - A lovely way to see sights around Victoria's Beacon Hill Park. Our driver was Emily and our horse was Remy, a big and beautiful Belgian draft horse. We really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it as a romantic and interesting way to see some of Victoria.

Took the one hour carriage ride - Had an excellent tour of Beacon Hill Park and James Bay houses. We had two beautiful guides that were very knowledgeable and the horse, Mac, was his first time with passengers. The cars and the neighbours were very courteous except for one idiotic driver that tried to scare the horse, karma will get him!

Tour of Victoria - The young woman who drove the carriage was very nice and very informative. However, because she needed to keep her eyes on the road, she was not able to consistently turn her head so that we could hear her. This resulted in our missing about 75% of the great information she was sharing. I would recommend that Tally Ho invest in an audio system that would make it possible for the driver to keep their eyes on the road while communicating with the customer but also enable the customer to hear all the information. The inability to hear is why only three stars.

Fun and relaxing tour of Beacon Hill Park - Our carriage tour was a great introduction to Beacon Hill Park. Operator and guide Tyler was easy to talk to and new horse on the block Ace did well with only 2 weeks experience under his harness. Spring time is a lovely time of the year for a carriage tour with all the spring flowers and cozy blankets are at the ready if you get a bit chilly. We learned some interesting facts about the park and surrounding areas from Tyler. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour wishing the hour did not go by quite so fast.
