VICTORIA BY HORSE DRAWN TROLLEY

Excursion Details
Climb aboard a horse-drawn trolley for a ride lasting around one hour and let Victoria’s history unfold before you. Blankets are available to keep you warm and a covered passenger area offers protection from showers, meaning you can enjoy the journey whatever the weather.
The trolley sets off from Ogden Point Pier, travelling through the neighbourhood of James Bay before arriving at the bustling Inner Harbour. Your horse-drawn vehicle allows you to explore Victoria as its residents once did during the reign of Queen Victoria, when the city was founded as a British trading post in 1843.
Along the route, historic landmarks rise into view: the Royal BC Museum, founded in 1886, the grand Parliament Buildings that house the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and the Fairmont Empress, a famous hotel which has been welcoming guests since 1908. The excursion then concludes when the ride ends back at the pier.
Important Information:Guests should be able to step up a 1-foot-high stair from the sidewalk to board the trolley. It is recommended that guests dress in layers
