In 1903, the Tourist Association of Victoria launched the Tally-Ho to offer guided city tours and help attract visitors and settlers, sparking a tradition that has delighted guests for over 120 years. What makes Tally-Ho truly unique is that it’s not just a tour, but a living piece of Victoria’s history. With its iconic horse-drawn carriages and personal, locally-inspired storytelling, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the city in a way that honors its past while creating lasting memories.

Our beloved Tally-Ho horses, now considered "at risk" of becoming endangered, are cherished symbols of Victoria, adored by locals and visitors alike. On each tour, our professional and fun-loving guides share fascinating history, local folklore, and exclusive insights, providing a personalized experience rather than just canned information. Join us for this one-of-a-kind adventure that combines history, heritage, and the true spirit of Victoria while preserving a piece of its iconic past.

Next, travel along the stunning Salish Sea waterfront, taking in spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and reaching Mile Zero of the Trans-Canada Highway, the starting point of the world’s second-longest highway. Your tour concludes in the historic James Bay neighborhood, with beautifully preserved Victorian homes and captivating stories of the area’s rich history, including iconic Canadian artist, Emily Carr. Reserve your “Uniquely Charming, Famously Fun” horse-drawn carriage ride through Victoria’s stunning streets today. With spectacular horses and personalized guides, this unforgettable experience brings the city’s beauty and history to life!

    We had a great time with Lui and Elijah. Beautiful ride. Elijah was knowledgeable and fun. Weather was perfection. If you arrive early check in they may be able to accommodate you before slotted time. Great time. Would do again.
