Highly recommended tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Richard was an amazing tour guide, I have never had such a thorough tour of a city. Highly recommended by our entire family. He mentioned an icecream and chocolate place that was amazing.

You will have fun with Alan

Published on Oct, 2024

Alan is very friendly,experienced. We had very short 4 hours, but he got shows us a lot places, and always made us feel comfortable, no rush, even bought us cookies :). We had great time with Alan. Thanks Alan.

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

We needed to make a time change for our tour and both the ease and flexibility Alan extended was refreshing-not everyone is so easy to work with! His knowledge of the city and gardens was impressive and we could all tell he loved his city. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends.

Great experience in VIctoria BC

Published on Oct, 2024

Awesome tour company. Alan, our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. Gave us great recommendations for lunch/dinner/dessert. Would definitely use them again.

Excellent Informative and relaxing tour with the nicest tour guide ever who took our photos together at each stop

Published on Sep, 2024

We were fortunate enough to have the owner, Alan, as our tour guide. He was so easy to be with, and was so informative about the Totem Pole Indian sites and also early castles and government buildings in Victoria. He took us to the highest spot from which you could see the San Juan mountains and the American Olympic Peninsula. He even took excellent photos of us together in each stop along the tour. But most importantly, he was willing to adjust our tour to what we most wanted to see and how long we were there.
