I'd think that after running across them they might be annoyed with you and charge extra (sorry, couldn't resist that pun...)

Sorry, never taken such a tour - always seemed very pricey for the distance covered. I believe the going rate is $72/hr + tip, for 1 or 2 people only. You can take 6 on a carriage ride of Victoria for an hour for $215, so if you fill the seats it's pretty much identical price per person - and the hourly equivalent drops the longer the tour. Plus those guys have to feed and house a horse and maintain and old school carriage on that level of income, so I think the pedicab due is raking in the pennies in comparison!

An hour in a taxi would also run about $70 - though quality of tourist info provided would be rather variable you'd cover an awful lot more distance than either of the muscle-powered alternatives - and the HOHO buses cover even more ground for about half that price rack-rate, with Groupon and other discounts reducing price yet further.
