Very interesting tour….covered all the major sights….. some of the buses had covers on them which protected us from the wind but others had no covers….. my one criticism is lack of bus signs showing where the bus stops….. other than that I would recommend this tour

It’s a nice sightseeing trip to see Victoria. Our driver , Brian was full of knowledge about the city, and some of its finer points! I had the best halibut sandwich by fisherman’s wharf.

Do Not Book this tour in evenings! Star Princess arrives in port Saturday evening. The tour took our reservations and shouldn’t have! We got off in port with no one waiting for us and had to find a new tour. I requested a reimbursement right away. I called the company and they are very accommodating and we received our reimbursement. The city is absolutely beautiful so enjoy your excursions

It was half the price of the cruise ship experience. If you are an experienced vacation or you can find good deals, especially if they are safe. This one was clean, neat safe and the itinerary he presented was delight.

The ticket "offices" are actually very small "RED BOX" stands sitting on the sidewalks. A huge help would be to fly a small red flag with your logo for distance visibility.

We were originally placed on a hybrid tour which was not what we expected. After driving around for an hour we were able to get on a regular hop on hop off bus. Since losing so much time, we were unable to see all the stops we were planning to see.

We had a fun day. We spent almost 2 hours at the castle and got off at the Bay Maria for lunch at the little cafe. We were not interested in the other stops. They seemed odd choices for us but we really enjoyed touring the city in this manner.

Very good way to see Victoria. The bus drove fairly slowly so gives plenty of time to take in the sights and good narration of the sights. We came in on a cruise ship and were initially confused about where to catch the bus as one google search incorrectly said the stop was near the interactive sundial (a short walk from the cruise terminal) but they actually use the standard bus stop directly in front of the terminal. My thoughts were this could perhaps be better signed so people getting off cruise ships can more easily see this. I also noticed a few other passengers thought they had to go into town to catch the bus from Stop No 1 but you can save time just hopping on near the cruise terminal (Stop No 7).

We got off the cruise ship and started walking towards the main road and one of the pedicab guys told me we were going the wrong way and sent us over to empty busses. We finally found someone to direct us to the road where we missed the hop on by 1 minute. Waited 50 minutes for the next one and then found out it was a 25 minute walk to get our tickets. All very confusing. We enjoyed the commentary which was professionally done. When we got to the Empress Hotel we redeemed our voucher and waited until the tour continued 30 minutes later. We got off at Fishermen's Wharf and had a late lunch before returning to the bus stop and waited for the next bus. Had we known it was a 10 minute walk to the cruise ship dock......
