This tour is a group activity which means only your group will be participating. The tour is priced by carriage. The number of people allowed per carriage is six but for extra comfort we would recommend you to have four people per carriage. This will provide everyone sone space without making the carriage too crowded. Let us tell you more details about the tour.
Stepping back in time with the horse drawn carriage
The meeting point for this tour is the 469 belleville St, Victoria, BC V8V 1X3, Canada. At the corner of belleville and menzies streets. Just simply look for our burgundy sales kiosk. The tour’s main highlight is the beacon garden itself and that is what we will be exploring the most. The garden is the epitome of beauty as it offers everything. The garden was donated to this city back in 1858 and since then it has just been preserved. They have preserved it to protect the wildlife of the garden as well as for the future generation to witness this true beauty with their very own eyes. The park is no less than a heaven as it offers pretty flower gardens, tranquil duck ponds, children’s petting farm and areas of natural landscape. After experiencing the garden from the carriage we move further to the waterfront of the Salish sea. This will offer you beautiful ocean views from your horse drawn carriage. Once we have covered the nature beauty, we will return back through the stunning neighbourhoods of James Bay. Along the ride, you have a professional guide who will enrich you with stories about past and about the famous renowned artist : Emily carr.

Exceptionally bad traffic made the start later than would have liked but Shawn our driver was a brilliant host making sure we experienced all the features of the trip. Skylon Tower, the Sheraton Buffet, Niagara Falls, the whirlpool, Niagara on the Lake, the world’s smallest church and the wine tasting. Highly recommend and book it all you will not be disappointed.

We went with Shawn on our tour and from the very beginning he was very professional and courteous! Shawn was an excellent safe driver and we had a smooth trip and at all of our stops we had more than enough time to enjoy the sights! I would definitely take this tour again if I were in Toronto and didn’t want to drive and I highly recommend Shawn and his fine hospitality and kindness and great knowledge of the area. Shawn loves the Niagara region and knows it well and truly loves it here and that helps make his tour exceptional!

We had a wonderful experience on the Niagara Falls tour with Tour Beez! Everything was well organized, and our tour guide, Shawn, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting facts, kept everything on schedule, and ensured everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend Tour Beez and Shawn for anyone planning a Niagara Falls tour!

We had a great time! We are from British Columbia and have never been to Niagara so booking through tour beez was easy and they did all the planning, even small details like booking our Uber, providing links and times. Our tour guide, Shawn was extremely knowledgeable with the falls and also the surrounding area. He was so friendly and personable. He even added on a couple extra stops whenever time was saved along the way. I will 💯 recommend Tour Beez to friends and family!

Shawn was the tour guide of the day and he was absolutely fantastic! He’s super friendly and very informative. The tour allowed us to explore many sites including Niagara Falls, a scenic drive along Niagara parkway, a stop at Floral clock, and we finished with wine tasting at Niagara College. Would recommend this tour to anyone!
