Alan was great and very knowledgeable. Very attentive and tailored the day to our interests. A great experience in Butchart gardens. We were almost the only people in the gardens. A couple cider tastings and then the high points of Victoria. Highly recommended.
Great company to work with

Alan and his company was fantastic. Picked our group of 6 up at airport and transported us to hotel. Next day we did a city snd garden tour. Since he was dropping us off a ferry terminal, he transported us and our luggage around. Took care of us with water all day and took us by wonderful market to get lunch. Learned so much about Victoria. Highly recommended and will use again
Great day in Victoria

Alan is a wonderful tour guide, knowledgeable of the area and an excellent communicator, willing to make adjustments on the go when we requested. We had a full day tour of Victoria and surrounding area that was great. Don’t miss the Buttchart Gardens, simply incredible!

Our Australian family of four found ourselves in Victoria for a few days and wanted to see as much as we possibly could with the limited time that we had available. As we didn't have a car, we booked several private full day tours with Surfside Tours. Alan was a great guide, tailoring the itinerary to our interests. He was very accommodating and genuinely tried to fill the time with things that would be of interest to our group. My son and husband are keen kite surfers and they really appreciated being taken to the beach to watch the locals kite. We also thoroughly enjoyed the castle tours and could have easily spent even more time in Craigdarroch than we had allowed. Finishing the day with the Christmas lights at Butchart Gardens was just perfect. Thanks again for a great few days Alan! Hopefully we'll see you again in the Summer one year.
AMAZING!!!

Beautiful gardens to see with autumn colors and still plenty of flowers for the season. Fewer tourists so we take our time to admire and soak up the place!

Alan was an amazing tour guide! He customized the tour based on our priorities and convenience. His knowledge of Victoria and its history added tremendous value to our experience. We can’t believe how many of the major sites we covered without feeling rushed and how we were able to customize the time we spent at each. This is the tour for anyone wanting to see and learn about the major attractions of Victoria.
