Want to help out horses and enjoy a leisurely and safe trolley ride around Brentwood?
As a thank you to the community for supporting them during the COVID-19 shutdown, Victoria Carriage Tours is offering 25-minute trolley tours by donation on Sundays through Aug. 2. The tours leave from Brentwood Bay Community School every 30 minutes starting at 11 a.m., with the last tour at 2 p.m.

Both tour companies, Victoria Carriage Tours and Tally Ho Carriage Tours, are back operating personal carriage and trolley tours daily from their regular posts on Menzies Street at Belleville Street in Victoria. COVID-19 protocols have prompted such changes as Plexiglas between the driver and passengers, a public address system to prevent drivers from turning around to chat with clients, and the sterilization of carriages between rides.
