Princess tours - Victoria, BC

I have been to Butchart Gardens before.

Has anybody either these Princess tours -

YYJ-110 - Double decker City Highlights tour - 8pm-930pm

YYJ-120 - Victoria by horse drawn trolley tour - 8-9

Which would you choose?

Vote goes to bus for savings. Bus mentions going East to Oak Bay... so you are explore more areas. Oak Bay may be too far for the horses.

I'd also do the bus - the horse-drawn trolleys are giant trailers with row seating for 25ish, not a romantic little carriage for two. The outside seats of each row get to look at the scenery, the middle seats get all the delightful smells of horse-based-transportation but very limited views - and if you're in the front row you have both the driver and two horse butts blocking your view forward. So you still have all the restrictions of a horse tour - slow so not much time to see a great deal compared to a bus - with none of the romance factor.

A lose-lose proposition at the best of times IMO, but for an evening tour that starts and ends at the ship (as cruise-booked yours always do) you also have at least 15 mins at the beginning and end of the tour wasted on suburban streets without much to see - the exciting lit-up buildings are downtown.
