5.00We had a cruise stop in Victoria and was looking for something different to do as we have been to Victoria many times. We were not quite sure how the tour would be, but Emile was an awesome tour guide. He engaged with all the customers and was very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable and did a good job dealing with if someone had a physical limitation or did not drink alcohol. It was a very lovely and not rushed day. We are now looking forward to finding out Hidden Tours.

Food, drinks and history

5.00We had a delightful walking tour of beautiful Victoria with guide, Fish. We started with a harbor boat ride to Chinatown then visited 3 other downtown sections. We were treated to some delicious food and drink while learning so much history from native, Fish, whose love of his hometown was clearly evident. The tour would be best early in your stay but we did it on our last day and still learned a lot.
Good way to spend some time in Victoria

5.00Our guide, Julie, was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and shared a lot of interesting stories. The walking was pretty easy and the total distance walked was moderate. The food and drink samples at the Drake and Bard and Banker were excellent. We just wish we had more time at those locations to enjoy them as things were a bit rushed. Even the stop at the candy store was too quick. Overall. a good tour experience in Victoria!
Well worth the time

5.00We took this tour on a whim while spending the day in Victoria during a cruise ship stop. It exceeded our expectations. Julie the guide was an amazing source of knowledge and taught us a lot about how Victoria came to be and took us to places with wonderful food and drinks. Another Hidden Victoria guide, Garret, was shadowing her and also gave us lots of great information and advice. The tour was jam packed with information and it was wonderful for exploring more of Victoria on our own after the tour. The stops were so excellent we returned to one of them and another she pointed out during the tour. We finished the tour with full tummies and were very satisfied
