Great tour for a quick trip around Victoria!
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).

Must do!
Our family was visiting from the US, and we decided to do this mid-day. The hike was amazing. The views were incredible. The walk along the path was easy despite the weather being slightly hot. The slide down was super fun!!! The free activities were good for kids. Highly recommend it.

Perfect trip to the gardens
We were greeted with friendly faces when we checked in for our ticket. The double decker bus was fun for all, we particularly enjoyed being up top, (arrive early if you want the front seat)
Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable and gave lots of tidbits of info on the drive to the gardens.. We took the 7pm ride on Saturday and enjoyed the gardens at dusk, live music and fireworks -bring a blanket for fireworks (or buy a basic one there for $17) and claim your spot in the lawn as soon as you arrive. Enjoy!!

Food and fun on the go at a slow pace- vegan and vegetarian options too!
Andy was friendly and fun. The tour was full of great food and catered for vegan and vegetarian options.
I liked the alley ways and knowledge that was shared.
Top tip- eat light to prepare for the tour!
Good shoes and a jacket recommended. It’s a slow and steady pace to cater for everyone.
Thanks Andy and all the chefs!

Fantastic tour!
This was an excellent ghost tour. I’ve been on dozens of ghost tours in multiple countries and Jill was one of the best storytellers I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. My only regret was not having any Canadian cash for a well deserved tip. I only had 6 hours in Victoria and this was easily the best way to spend one of them. Highly recommended.

A wonderful food/walking tour
We had a wonderful experience with Brenda on this walking food tour. Brenda was exceptional, full of interesting information and very engaging with the group. The food was interesting, varied, as well as delicious. She took us to places I probably would not have gone to on my own, like Indian food, which was my personal favorite. Come hungry because we ate a lot of food! I highly recommend taking this tour.

Awestruck!
The highlight was, hands down, the best whale-watching tour ever! We were absolutely awestruck, saying it was "like seeing a movie star!" We saw pods of orcas, humpback whales, and huge sea lions. The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure everyone stayed warm with jackets, pants, gloves, hats, and even blankets. They topped it all off with hot chocolate at the end—a perfect finish to an unforgettable experience. Worth every penny!

Butchart Garden Experience
Everything about this tour was great from beginning to end. Starting point is very centrally located and easy to get to by bus. Walking distance to many other points of interest. The delivery of the tickets via email was very timely. Our driver was very knowledgeable of Victoria and made the ride to Butchart Gardens enjoyable. The gardens themselves were beyond expectations! One of our best excursions on our cruise! I would highly recommend Viator Tours for your touring experience!

the crew staffs were...
the crew staffs were amazing 👏 she really good with the kids and all the people in the boat, Our ferry was late (~20 minutes) but they communicated with us. and we were able to still arrive & go on the scheduled tour time.
We were able to see humpback whales🐋 and Harbour seals, and sea lions. they are really good group to work with and I will definitely recommend.

gorgeous city tour as explained by our friendly guide
Cassidy was very polite and friendly host for our event. however, the weather was a bit chilly and I would advise others to dress appropriately. also the place is not near the cruise dock and the cab charged us flat fee of $15 each way. we prefer this to booking in groups where 25 people get toured. in our situation, as it got cold, we asked Cassidy to take a shortcut back to home which may not have been possible in a group ride.

Super fun spotting whales and seals!
A great time finding humpback whales, harbor seals and bald eagles in May! Josh and Amanda were our captains and were super friendly, positive and knowledgeable about marine wildlife. They kept us aware of what they were doing and how far we’re legally able to get to whales; you can tell they love their jobs. It looks like they have different sized boats as well to tailor it to the size of their groups; there was only 6 in mine so we had a smaller boat that went fast - so fun! Highly recommend!

Good experience
Overall a good experience but seats a very small, little leg room especially when the passenger in front of you weighs 400 lbs and his seat presses against your legs and knees. View is good from windows. Pilot is courteous. There is no narration on t ge tour. Worth the price but comfort could be better.
