Wonderful Day Around Victoria and Butchart Gardens
We had a wonderful day with Alan as our guide. We went to the Butchart Gardens for a couple hours, and then Alan showed us some other fun places around Victoria. I feel like we got a really good overview of the city, suburbs, parks, and mountain views around Victoria. I would highly recommend that you try to get Alan as your guide - super nice, flexible and knowledgeable!

Fun Bites and Sights in Victoria
Our guide, Julie, was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and shared a lot of interesting stories. The walking was pretty easy and the total distance walked was moderate. The food and drink samples at the Drake and Bard and Banker were excellent. We just wish we had more time at those locations to enjoy them as things were a bit rushed. Even the stop at the candy store was too quick. Overall. a good tour experience in Victoria!

Sweet Victoria on a Tight Timeframe
Great experience for a very efficient and flexible tour. We saw a lot of locations and learned interesting history and culture of the area. Alan was enjoyable and good company. He was really attuned to send us off on walks in areas to give us time to explore and enjoy locations. The tour flowed nicely and it was exactly what we needed for our brief time availability. Also a BIG gold star for adjusting our appointed time when I realized I reserved the wrong date. We were in port for just 4 hours with out cruise and could not arrive at any other time. Gary was very accommodating and eager to help despite my mistake. This is company provides excellent service!

Right Boat, Best Crew
The 4 EVER WILD boat was perfect for outside viewing and inside warmth. 😉. Our crew was very knowledgeable and helpful. Sierra, Joanne, Carol, Keaton, Hana and Captain Evan did a fantastic job. The whole experience was top notch from start to finish. I highly recommend and will book this again in the future.

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.

Must do!
Awesome experience! View is stunning. Be ready to walk to the skywalk from the front. We had 2 seniors with our family and they walked slow but they made it up there. Little activities for the kids along the way. And there’s a playground at the bottom along with other activities like the large jenka, corn hole and connect four. Plus snacks, drinks and ice cream! Nice experience!!

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.

Exceptionally delicious food tour
Andy was exceptional! He combined delicious food with both the culture and history of Victoria. The food choices were delicious- we have been on many food tours in many countries, but this one had the best selection and quality of local food. I have already recommended this tour to others and it is all because of Andy!

Michael was a fantastic...
Michael was a fantastic guide and we biked 8 miles over the course of a few hours. He did take our tour long (with everyone’s enthusiastic consent and permission) but did want to note in case you’re scheduling tours right up next to each other. Beautiful views, fantastic guiding, I always felt safe with many protected bike lanes, and at the end it came with a great list of Michael’s recommendations.

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.

Great crew, great place
What a great trip! Firstly, what a beautiful place.
Then you have a great crew — with a particular shoutout to Katie and Sam — that brings a wealth of information and experience. Katie showed me the big catalogue of transient and resident orcas seen in the area, explaining the rich history of the orcas we were seeing as well as endless details about the complex and interesting lives of orcas in this region. The crew’s passion was on full display and made readily available to us. Also, Katie’s photos were excellent — including of past outings.

Whale Watching 10/10 no notes
I explored the Victoria area with skipper Gareth — we were able to see several groups of humpbacks and sea lions. We then had a gorgeous encounter with a solo orca. We were able to just coast with him along the shore in calm waters. Truly a bucket list experience! Gareth was an amazing guide — super knowledgeable and engaging with the group, with a passion for the wildlife.
