Guide was very friendly as well as knowledgeable about area. Tried successfully to meet our expectations of tour.
Shawn was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. He was also flexible when we extended the tour for a bit.
A very efficient and comprehensive way to see the sites in Victoria, especially if you are short on time. Our tour guide, Blair, was very knowledgeable and personable too. Highly recommend both the tour and Blair.
Sean was an excellent guide. A local who not only provided an informative narrative of the city’s history and its major landmarks, but added in a few “hidden” gems.
Sean knows ALL of the Victoria Secrets! He always does a great tour and loves showing off his hometown. Thanks for sharing!
We were a parry of four adults. We thought this was the very best city tour we could have taken. Our guide, Michael, was wonderful. He's knowledgeable about the history of Victoria, as well as interesting cultural topics. We felt very comfortable talking about a wide variety of local topics with him as we toured much more of the city than we ever expected. We definitely recommend this tour!
Thanks for your kind review. Michael is a wonderful, safe gentleman that loves working with people. Best wishes for safe travels. Come see us again!!
Richard was very knowledgable and took us throughout the city. We got a nice view of multiple parts of the city and learned about a lot of the history of the community.
Thanks for your kind comments. Richard is an excellent guide and we’re fortunate to have him with us. We’re happy you enjoyed your visit!
Our tour guide Richard was very knowledgable and took us to some great photo stops. Viator sold us this tour saying that we could visit and TOUR the castle - the representative I was chatting with online, although helpful, sold me the tour irregardless of the castle being open or not. I had explained that my cruise company had cancelled my tour to the castle with NO explanation…when we arrived at the castle with Richard, we found out that the castle is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. The Viator customer service rep should have known this. The castle was the only thing personally I was interested in. Poor Show Viator. We also had to get a taxi from our cruise ship to an unknown hotel as the tour company was said to only pick up in town. But Richard even offered to drop us back at the dock without us even asking! All the negative here is on Viator, not the tour company that toured my party of 6. This was great value for money, compared to the cruise ship offerings and I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone. (If you are going to tour the castle, you have to pay and that is not included in the cost of the tour, but this was still $30 cheaper than my cruise ship offered with the added personal expense of paying for entry to the castle (we were a party of 6). Four adults and two awesome teenagers. So to recap - Richard was great, tour company was great Viator was NOT great.
I am sorry that the experience had its challenges. Richard is an excellent guide and I am glad he was able to make the best of the situation.
Our tour guide Mark was very knowledgeable about the history of Victoria and the places we visited. He was respectful of our return time to the cruise ship as well. Thank you!
I’m happy you enjoyed your visit. Come back and see us soon!
I planned the Ovation of the Seas Cruise trip for me and my husband, my brother & girlfriend and my aunt & uncle. The tour description lead me to believe we would get to see the gardens and tour the castle (the TWO things we wanted to do). Our driver drove past the castle and said it was closed (I couldn’t see it because it was on the opposite side of the van as I was sitting and then he said the gardens were too far to go. Said it would take 30 min to get there and 30 min to get back and we had to have 90 min to see it, so we didn’t go). Then he proceeded to drive us around the city for 2 1/2 hrs (which would have been enough time) with very little historical information and not much of any other info. Also people in the back seat couldn’t hear him (none of us could hear him well). Totally wasted our time in Victoria. So sad that we got NOTHING out of the tour except a boring ride around town. I have used Viator many times in the past and always had great experiences and never a complaint but this was a total bust ☹️ I would actually like my money back. He was a nice enough guy but it was not up to Viator’s usual excursion/tour experience.
This tour was not with our company.
Kiki was great! Arrived in port at 9 pm and only had a few hours. Still worth taking the tour with Keith.
The late arriving ships are challenging. We like to show off our city however the darkness and closed shops limit what we can do. We wish the ships would consider Victoria as a destination and not just an add on
