What are people saying about Victoria

Karla_S, Jun 2026

Well Balanced Excursion!

This is a great balanced excursion for families. A little walking, food tasting, and some history. Andy was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and accommodating to all in a group tour of 12. The pacing was fantastic and everyone was literally able to enjoy a taste of Victoria. Highly recommend!

The Butchart Gardens Express Shuttle from Downtown Victoria

Laurie_K, Jun 2026

The way to go!

I chose this because I didn't want to go on a tour that they limit you to two hours at the gardens. we could travel at our own pace and there were return buses every hour until 5:00 pm when we were ready to leave. This worked out great, as my mom who is 85 years old didn't feel rushed. The buses are beautiful and comfortable, and we had narration the whole way there and back. They even offered to sell you the entrance tickets, which would save time in line.

San Fransisco and Sausalito tour

Our tour guide was Mark. He showed us all around San Fransisco and had so much info to give us. Our tour took us to the Butchart Gardens, which was so beautiful and amazing. We also stopped in Sausalito for lunch or shopping. I would recommend this excursion 10/10

The crew was outstanding....

The crew was outstanding. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. They answered questions, gave us information and were excited about sharing this with everyone. When no whales were spotted they did their best to get information of where to go to give everyone the best chance to experience them and were using their binoculars to search. After all their best efforts it all paid off and orcas were found and what an outstanding experience!

Victoria Whale Watch Tour

Alexandra_B, May 2026

Must do experience!

The captain and naturalists are great and explain things really well/are very friendly. It can we cold/windy on the water even if it’s warm in the city so definitely bring layers (they have extras if needed too). Free hot drinks was lovely. Saw Orca mom and baby/2 others for a good 30 mins and a bald eagle on my trip.

Summer Whale Watching Tour in a Zodiac Boat in Victoria

Jia_W, May 2026

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!

Iman_Q, May 2026

Georgia was the best!!

Such a fun experience for a group outing or even a date. It’s a great way to explore local restaurants, try different foods, learn some Victoria history, and enjoy water taxi rides all in one adventure. We had an amazing time, and Georgia was an incredible host who made the whole experience so enjoyable and engaging. Highly recommend if you’re visiting downtown Victoria!

Ghostly Walking Tour in Victoria

David_J, May 2026

Interesting ghostly tales

Jacob’s ghost walk tour was fantastic! The guide was knowledgeable and charismatic, weaving local history with eerie stories that kept everyone engaged. The route showcased beautiful Victorian architecture while revealing chilling tales I hadn't heard before. My favorite moment was the final segment when we were led into a small, abandoned dark room — the claustrophobic, silent setting created an intense, genuinely scary vibe. Overall I give the tour 5/5 and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for atmosphere and a few good scares.

Victoria By Wheelchair

Able to See Victoria by Wheelchair Jay was fantastic! We couldn't have been more pleased. My husband is paralyzed from the waist down & cannot stand at all. We have to have a van with a ramp or lift. We were coming into Victoria by cruise ship. The ship did not offer any assessable excursions we could take. Very disappointing. We found JayDeep. Had a van with a ramp, yeah! He took us to Butchart Gardens and waited while we toured it. Then took us into Victoria, showing us China Town, stopping at Fan Tan Alley so we could stroll through it, The Empress Hotel & Parliament Buildings, Beacon Hill Park where we saw the tallest free standing totem, even had a live Eagle on top of it. He took our picture at every stop! Amazing! He was a wealth of knowledge about Victoria. You could tell he loved his city and enjoyed helping us get around town in a wheelchair. We are truly grateful. I will be recommending him to Wheels of the World, Assessable Travel and others. Thanks again Jay!

Summer Victoria Whale Watching Tour on a Covered Vessel

richard_l, Apr 2026

Half day with Orcas

Great trip, very fulfilling to see these enormous creatures in their natural habitat. Also managed to spot and photo a bald eagle on one of the islands on our return to. Victoria. Great, knowledgeable captain and well connected whale spotting community here seemed to spread the word where a pod of orcas were hence I feel it’s quite likely people would be as lucky as us and get to see a pod of 10 orcas enjoying themselves up close. Thoroughly recommend.

Victoria Zodiac Boat Whale Watching Adventure

Wendy_E, Sep 2025

So much fun!...

So much fun! Exhilarating! Sorry can’t rambler guides name😬but she was very nice and kept us informed at all times. It was a bit windy and so choppy,but she handled with ease and even made it fun. The six young ladies from Ireland had a blast and it was infectious. Saw whales, otter, and seals and sea lions. Beautiful day!

Victoria Panorama Scenic Seaplane Tour

Kathleen_E, Jul 2025

I could do this all day

This was fabulous, The only negative part is it's only about 20 minutes in the air. For the cost, longer air time would have been nice. But, still a great experience and I highly recommend. NOTE. This is an international airport, make sure you have your government issued ID, even for the Harbour tour. Fun fact: it's the only international airport in the world that can be closed due to whales entering the Harbour.
