“Helen gave us a terrific tour around Victoria's historic centre, describing the rich history, and disclosing stories of scandal and intrigue. She toured us through some of the most historic buildings and shops, showing us beautiful interiors. Her knowledge of Victoria is rich and was really helpful for us as 1st time visitors. She can recommend a restaurant or a great place to shop or find some entertainment as well. She's super friendly and a wonderful story-teller. You can't beat spending a couple of hours with a local to get a real sense of place. Highly recommend!”
Every kind of Canadian day out, and the best of each.
