Our driver was wonderful and had planned our excursion down to the last minute. We saw beautiful sights and he was very good about answering our questions and talking about Victoria. We will tell our cruising friends to ask for him.

They were all very good. We especially enjoyed seeing the Parliament Building with all the lights on in the evening.

We had a evening/twilight private tour of Victoria for 6 adults. Darwin was there waiting on the pier for us to arrive off the cruise ship and we embarked on a very safe and fun tour. We were entertained and educated for over 2 hours while he drove us to all the highlights of the city. Would definitely recommend!

Let me start by saying Darwin was a fantastic guide. The day started with a challenge; due to a 10K race and a parade right next to where we were staying, it took a bit to hook up. In addition, there were many streets closed where this tour would normally go; however, with Darwin’s extensive knowledge of Victoria, if history and background, you would never have known anything was going on. Whenever we ran into a closed road, he knew exactly where to go, and we saw everything that was advertised on the tour and even a few extra places. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria for the first time. We will definitely check out other tours provided by Darwin’s company the next time we visit Victoria. Thanks for making our 50 Anniversary special. Glenn and Lois Meade
