  Booking the tour thru Viator is the best thing you do when you go to new places. I booked hop in hop off and it was the best experience for us. We were able to see Victoria and know the good places . Drivers are well informed and gave us best tour in the city

• A great way to tour Victoria!

  It was great, we enjoyed the tour and information. We rode on the top of the bus in the sun and could see everything really well. It was nice to get off and explore when we wanted and get back on.

• Unorganized and disappointing bus system through Victoria from cruise ship

  Once off the cruise ship, directions to the bus stop are unclear. Once we found the not-well-marked umbrella for the hop-on hop-off bus we received good directions from the person working there to get to the bus stop. It was unclear when we got to the bus stop if we were at the correct place. We had to ask others in the area and found out that the stop is shared with the normal city bus stop. The only marking designating that hop-on hop-off uses this stop is a small sticker on a post near the stop. Both the hop-on hop-off riders and regular bus riders share the same line/area so a lot of people were confused to what was supposed to happen. The line also forms on a sidewalk making it difficult for those using the sidewalk to walk around the line. A few city buses came and went before the first hop-on bus came. I don’t know but it may have been cheaper and more efficient to use the city bus system. To use the hop-on system, you must complete all 15 stops to get back to the cruise ship. The entire loop takes over an hour and a half. If you get off at an early stop, plan on riding the bus over an hour to get back to the ship. When returning to the ship, the bus driver stopped at one stop for only a second. Several people were trying to get the attention of the driver to let them get off but he either didn’t hear or ignored them. They unhappily got off at next stop and walked back to where they wanted to go. The whole system is very disorganized and not well marked. I don’t know how the city bus system works but it may be a better option.

  We rode twice with Norm as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, having grown up here and lived here his whole life. He was funny, entertaining, and an excellent driver through some pretty harrowing, narrow streets!

• Convenient once you figure out the stops :)

  Nice way to see Victoria. The full route is about an hour and a half if I recall correctly. The drivers were very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. For the most part, buses were on time or within minutes of scheduled time. The problem is not knowing where stops are, especially the initial stop near the cruise port. They are not marked very well. It is ony a red sticker on a pole most times. They only sell tickets at the Empress Hotel stop I guess, but apparently you can buy them online by scanning a barcode at the various stops. We didn't know any of this until we were basically done. We couldn't find the first stop at the cruise port so we walked to Beacon Park. We then caught the bus there, but hadn't bought tickets yet as we didn't know the process. The driver let us on anyway. We then bought our tickets at the Empress and boarded the next bus that started the run. Our tickets weren't checked. Technically we could have ridden for free the whole time. But later when we got off at one stop and got back on at another, a different driver did check our ticket. All in all, it made our day much more convenient and enjoyable once we figured it all out.

• Hop on hop off is great to know the island! The price is worth it.

  Amazing way to know the island in 90 minutes. The 11:30 am driver was great and organized and inform us of the stops. The 7:30 driver was not organized that the customers from passenger cruise were dropped not at the Fan Tan Alley but a few blocks away. Kept on talking but not about the island. We stayed for two nights, but for passenger cruise customers, who had limited time, I pity them. But the driver was nice in dropping the limited mobility customer right very near the dock of the passenger cruise terminal. That was an extra stop which I appreciated.

  It does not include bushard garden. Kiosk was kind of hidden. We went hotel inside n. Then asked n they pointed to kiosk. Ideally need more visibility. Bus tour was great. Also we had to Uber to collect keys to reach main location. Which was extra cost.
