See Victoria’s top sights and spend 2.5 hours at Butchart Gardens with hotel pickup, a small group, local stories, and entry included.
“Amazing experience with small group of 8. Got to see things you would probably miss on a big bus tour. Our guide Jim was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.”
Review of Victoria’s 2.5-hour Hoods & Legends bike tour, covering Chinatown, Craigdarroch Castle, Beacon Hill Park, hills, guides, price, and value.
“Great itinerary - a mixture of town and country. We really enjoyed the coastal ride and park. Ben was a great guide; he was knowledgeable and personable without getting mired in arcane details.”
Review of Victoria’s two-hour food and city tour, with generous tastings, local history, small groups, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“History lesson and great food tour combined! What could be better. Our guide kept us entertained and found the most interesting food stops. This is a tour not to be missed.”
See Victoria from an open-top double-decker, with narrated sightseeing, flexible hop-on access, and practical tips on timing and value.
“Very good way to get around and see what you wanted and spend as much time as you needed per stop. Easy to follow map.”
Review of Victoria’s $5 walking tour, covering Chinatown, Fan Tan Alley, Indigenous culture, harbor sights, guides, pace, and value.
“The tour provides a great introduction of the main downtown and inner harbor areas. It’s a good way to decide which of the main attractions you’re going to come back and dedicate more time to. Our guide, Camilo, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and shared a great list of his recommendations of things to see and do (and eat!) on the island.”
See Victoria’s Chinatown, Inner Harbour, Beacon Hill Park, and two hours at Butchart Gardens on a comfortable four-hour tour.
“The guide friendly and informative. We would have enjoyed three hours at Butchart Gardens, so probably increase the time there”
Every kind of Canadian day out, and the best of each.
