What are people saying about Victoria

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!!

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 Guided Food and History Tour

Bhinder_D, Jul 2026

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! From Bhinder

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

Great place to visit and with wonderful company!

Our tour guide was very accommodating concerning our pick up place and was easy to contact. We felt like we received a good feel for the beautiful city of Victoria. He dropped us off at the gate and got our tickets for the Butchart Gardens. They were astounding. I cannot say enough for the beauty of the gardens and the city. We recommend this tour and tour guide, Neil. You will not be disappointed.

Malahat SkyWalk Tickets

Dave_B, Jul 2026

Excellent attraction!

This was a very unique and fun experience! It’s a beautiful structure in a gorgeous location offering stunning views of the Canadian landscape just a few minutes outside Victoria. We also enjoyed the hidden natural artwork along the path to the skywalk, and fun spiral slide down! The free shuttle bus service was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

Victoria Half-Day Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos

A Whale Watching Adventure To Remember

This is an exceptional experience! Not only did the ship’s team guide you to see the whales, but they shared details and information I didn’t know about these beautiful creatures. This was a bucket list dream of my daughter, husband and I and Prince of Whales Whale Watching created a fantastic memory we will always treasure!

75-Minute The Royal Tour

Babins_S, May 2026

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.

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!

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.
