Thorough tour of downtown Victoria. A very knowledgeable guide - good pace. Not too difficult even for older tourists. Well worth the $50 per person we tipped.

Rebecca did a great job of introducing us to Victoria. She told interesting anecdotes and informative facts about the city.

Our tour started with massive confusion about the starting place. Opening the Viator booking, Meetup/Drop Off details, it said to Meet up 2pm, Drop off at Start Point, but didn't list a Start Point. My notes said one place, the picture showed another. Apparently, the tour company sent an email detailing a third place that I didn't see. It was a frustrating start. The tour guide agreed to pick us up where we were and she was really nice, but she basically told us what things were, but not much by way of storytelling. We were guided to some places we hadn't discovered ourselves, the pace was good, and being tips-based, we could decide what it was worth to us, but overall, it wasn't a very compelling tour. I only gave this 3 stars because Viator says 3 stars is Average, and this tour was average at best.

Kaitlin was great! We went to the main hot spots in Victoria along Government Street and Chinatown. Fan Tan Alley was fun!

Tour led by young girl who took off walking. We ended up far behind before she noticed. We are 76 and 75 so it was not her fault that we had trouble keeping up. We decided the tour was not for us and left. Other people seemed ok.
