Horse-drawn Carriages and Tours
What better way to absorb the atmosphere of days gone by and learn a bit of local history than in a horse-drawn tour through some of Victoria’s most picturesque neighbourhoods? Whether you choose a romantic carriage ride with your sweetheart or climb aboard a group wagon tour through downtown, the gentle pace of the horses and the clip-clopping of hooves on pavement are sure to lull you into a bygone era when this was the mode of transport for all Victorians.
Several tour companies operate from the Inner Harbour area and can escort you on leisurely rides through lush Beacon Hill Park, along blossom-lined streets in historic James Bay and past the azure waters of Victoria’s scenic waterfront. Alternatively, hire a carriage for a special event. Horse-drawn carriages make weddings fairytale perfect and help you to turn any special occasion into a memorable celebration.
Carriage tours can be found in other communities, as well. Up-Island carriage tour operators offer similarly enchanting rides, complete with equine escorts and local lore, so step aboard for unforgettable views and a truly memorable ride through time.
