Our private city tour of Victoria, BC was absolutely wonderful! Our host and driver Heike was humorous, thorough, accommodating, friendly, and incredibly personable. She even contacted us before pickup to introduce herself, answer any questions we might have, and confirm our pickup location—which was just one of SEVERAL thoughtful touches. Heike was extremely informative throughout the tour and made the experience both interesting and fun. One of our favorite little surprises was that she even brought peanuts so we could feed the local peacocks. Heike went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and her friendly personality made the tour feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. I would highly recommend Heike to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely wonderful tour guide. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Chris was a great guide! We had a great time seeing all the highlights of the city. If you are on limited time like we were I would highly recomend this. It very comfortable, private and relaxing, with time to stop at spots we wanted too. Chris was also very knowledgeable about the spots we went too.

We booked a 2 hour city highlights private tour to see the city during our 4 hour cruise stop in Victoria. We had a great time, and our guide John was excellent. We received a text from him as our ship was pulling into port, coordinating a meet-up. When we got off the ship, he arrived holding a sign with our name. The vehicle was a clean Tesla Model Y. John provided great information about the city and our kids (ages 13 and 10) enjoyed the stops along the way. John was courteous and helpful and we found the tour to be a great value, especially when you have limited time to see the city (gangway down to all aboard for us was only 5:30pm-9:30pm).
Thanks for the great review! We’re so glad you and your family enjoyed exploring Victoria with John. With only a few hours in port, we’re happy we could help you make the most of your time in the city. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to John!
We booked the 2 hour tour as our cruise ship was in Victoria for a few hours in the evening. Communication was excellent and Peter, our guide, was accommodating in adjusting our pickup time as our ship docked early. Peter is a history professor and was a wealth of information about Victoria. The city was very busy due to a concert downtown, but he skillfully adjusted the route to give us a wonderful experience and returned us to our ship with plenty of time to spare. We enjoyed the comfortable Tesla tour vehicle and appreciated the full glass roof as there was an airshow over the concert and we had a good view of the RCAF Snowbirds overhead.
Thanks for the great review! We’re glad Peter was able to adjust the tour around the busy evening and make the most of your time in Victoria. Sounds like the Snowbirds were a pretty great bonus! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Peter.
We had a quick stop here on our cruise. I HIGHLY recommend this tour. We were able to see everything and our guide, Ken, was very knowledgeable so we also learned about the history of the city. Convenient pick up and drop off at the cruise ship too.
Thanks for the great review! We’re glad you were able to make the most of your short stop in Victoria and enjoyed exploring the city with Ken. We really appreciate the recommendation!
