5.00This was my husband’s my 2nd time doing this tour. We thought the first one was soo good we dragged along 2 other couples… this one was even better than the first, which we gave 5 stars too, so this would be a 6 star rating! Ha! The tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about everything Victoria, and made sure all of the group’s individual needs/requests were met. He went above and beyond!! Well worth doing this tour more than once, as you hear different info and experience perhaps different bite stops as well!!
Great Tour!

5.00Our tour guide, “Fish” was extremely friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, we greatly enjoyed his stories and perspective of Victoria’s history. The tour sites and bites were well planned and a great introduction to this wonderful city. Even though it was a cool day, we were not cold as the stories took us to another world where weather was not a problem…
Great guide, lots of storytelling with snacks

5.00Book this tour - you will be glad you did. We had a wonderful tour guide - Fish. He went above and beyond, so knowledgeful, kind, funny and interesting. We thought the tour was also great value for money. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria. Do it on your first day (unlike us!) and you will get lots of useful tips for other great things to do in Victoria.
