What are people saying about Victoria

Malahat SkyWalk Tickets

George_S, Aug 2026

Great attraction nestled in forest. Fun for all!!

Amazing experience. Very easy, scenic walk to the ‘tower’, even with strollers. Also easy walk to the top. There are three options (included): walking out onto small glass platform; walk onto large elastic floor with slight bounce, and/or slide down a tube (much of the way down). I tend to fear heights and enclosed spaces but had NO trouble doing all of these. We are in our 70s and enjoyed everything as much as the kids around us. There was also a bird (raptor?) talk and demonstration. Staff was very helpful and encouraging. Plan to spend about 1 1/2 hours to enjoy.

Victoria Zipline Adventure Tour

Stacey_H, Aug 2026

Day of empowerment and overcoming fear!

I highly recommend this activity and specifically this tour. The guides are amazing, the course so beautiful. I have had a height phobia since I was little and these ladies were kind, encouraging and made me feel safe during the zip lining tour. I was went for my daughter but also was empowered to have completed the course in spite of my crazy fears! 2 thumbs up!!

Victoria Guided Food and History Tour

Claire_V, Aug 2026

Fun knowledgeable guide!

Andy was an exceptional guide. Upbeat, knowledgeable, and humorous. The pace was relaxing and took us to areas and establishments we wouldn’t have found on our own. The food choices were mostly excellent; especially the ube bun stop! We are inspired to do more food tours when traveling. Great experience!

COMBO Victoria City Tour & Butchart Gardens & Entry Tix

Debra_R, Aug 2026

Great city tour. Love the...

Great city tour. Love the gardens. Our driver Neal was very accommodating. Took us to more than I expected and was very detail orientated. Highly recommend. Only issue was he left 2 passengers at the pick up location and we had to go back to pick them up.

The Butchart Gardens Express Shuttle from Downtown Victoria

Kiersten_S, Aug 2026

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!!

Victoria Whale Watch Tour

Lori_H, Aug 2026

Whale sightings

Well done crew! The entire excursion was meaningful and crew was/ is more than willing to chat all things nature! Had such peaceful seas and we did see orca matrilines and a humpback whale, Scuttles. We are left with one burning question. What are those inflated dancing “men” on the docks??? Crew are currently researching, Standing by for their findings!! Hahaha!

Ghostly Walking Tour in Victoria

Matt_A, Jul 2026

Ghostly Tour

My girlfriend and I took the Ghostly Walk tour in Victoria last night and had a great time. The price felt very reasonable for the experience. Our guide, Asher, was friendly, engaging, and did a great job making each story entertaining while adding just the right amount of spooky atmosphere. This is definitely a family-friendly tour. The stories are interesting and eerie without being too frightening, so I think kids would enjoy it as well. Even as adults, my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun learning about Victoria’s history and hearing the ghost stories connected to the different locations. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun evening activity in Victoria.

Victoria Panorama Scenic Seaplane Tour

Glenis_G, Jul 2026

Highly recommended

Fabulous experience from checking in to the flight. Checking in was easy and comfortable lounge. Great staff helping us onto plan. Flight was longer than we thought, starting at Inner Harbour and then flying over City. Only downside is if the pilot had pointed out things we were flying over but then we would have needed earphones. Highly recommended

Victoria Half-Day Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos

Jeanette_L, Jul 2026

Keep your eyes peeled everywhere - look for the blow holes!

The Prince of Whales was our vessel of choice for our whale watching tour off Vancouver Island in July 2026 (you've gotta have a bigger boat, right?!). We covered a long distance in our search for whales, but it paid off! Towards the end of our tour we had multiple sightings! It was a glorious day weather-wise and we couldn't have wished for a better result. Would recommend this tour - we had a great time. Keep your eyes peeled everywhere - look for the blow holes, stay focussed and start clicking away with your camera - the whales don't wait for that perfect shot - but you just might capture them!

Victoria Zodiac Boat Whale Watching Adventure

Purvi_V, May 2026

Best boat weather

We had amazing weather at the end of May, so the boat was extremely enjoyable. Staff and our captain at the Prince of Whales were kind and helpful. We saw a few bald eagles, sea lions, seals, and even got very close enough to a pod of orcas to hear them breathe out their spout when they can l came to the surface!

Summer Victoria Whale Watching Tour on a Covered Vessel

Drew_J, Apr 2026

"A three hour tour..."

There are many options for Whale Watching. I was very happy to choose this tour. (value for money). All the staff from the front desk check in to the boat were very friendly and knowledgable. Took the morning run. Had great weather. Easy walking distance from downtown. Less than 15 minutes from the Empress. Sign at end of driveway on Kingston Street.
