If you come in on a cruise ship, you have to find your own way into town and find the Empress Hotel to exchange your Vistor purcháse for a boarding pass. Not being familiar with any surroundings, it took a little bit of time to figure out where the Empress Hotel was. So transportation into the city will cost you more money.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback we understand how navigating a new city can be a bit challenging.
For future reference, if you’ve already purchased tickets, you’re welcome to board directly at our Ogden Point (cruise ship) stop. You can then hop off at the Empress Hotel stop to have your tickets scanned, which helps avoid the need to make your own way into downtown first!
We hope you still enjoyed your experience overall!

Driver not very helpful and communicative. Tour was fine to see Victoria. Very beautiful city to visit.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed visiting Victoria, but we’re sorry the driver didn’t meet expectations. We’ll share this with our team to improve, and we appreciate you letting us know!

It’s a good thing to do to look at the city and then decide where you want to go and on your second round jump off where you want to explore

Great experience, even the top of the bus was half covered.
We stopped at the Castle & fisherman's wharf for lunch.
Really enjoyed seeing the parks & sites.
Such a beautiful City.

Great way to Victoria without a car. Get off wherever you want and then hop back on when you are ready to go to the next stop. Delightful.

I messed up on the date.....we were not in BC until May...I am waiting on a response to my email....my past experiences were very good....
Response from Host, Apr 2026
We have not received an email from you or a cancellation request from Viator. Have you tried to call our phone number?
Connie_H, Mar 2026
Both guides we had were amazing! The lady…I want to say Anne? Was absolutely hilarious!! We went on a Saturday which was obviously busier than a weekday traffic wise and there’s some protest downtown which messes up traffic big time. All in all we would do it again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your review! We will pass it along to our drivers! Hope to see you back again soon.
Lucille_C, Oct 2025
If you're a first time visitor to Victoria this is a great way to get a feel for the city's popular sites. You can do the whole ride then go back to those you want to spend time at or hop off at one & catch a later bus to the next spot that grabs your interest. The bus is comfy & the narration was interesting & humorous.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for your review. Hope to see you again soon!
Maria_B, Oct 2025
Our cruise ship landed in Victoria for about six hours, so having this tour was well worth it. Our driver Brian, was wonderful. He was friendly and informative throughout the whole tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for your review. Hope to see you again soon!

Jose_M, Sept 2025
The hop on hop off was a great idea if it did exactly what they stated. Wait times were extremely long, waiting almost 90 for a ride at some stops. Worse part was when the driver Hummingbird didn’t even stop to pick us up one time. Just lift her hands in a motion of “oh well” while she drove past the stop with no hesitation. She also made it really clear that she was in vacation mode when we first joined her and kept insisting that we donate to her vacation fund, aka give her a tip, plus made it awkward that she was running late and kept saying “this day is screwed up.” Overall, I suggest not booking with them, unless you like long wait times, want hear about the importance of tips and someone’s true opinion on topics that shouldn't be shared.
Alan_H, Sept 2025
We only did tour without getting off due to time constraints, but it the open air top and guide/driver were excellent. We got to see much of Victoria and learn quite a bit.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello! Thank you for your review. Hope to see you again soon!
Erik_B, Sept 2025
Brian McDonald was the most courteous and engaging driver I’ve ever seen, and I’ve done HoHo on 20 cities. He represents Victoria and HoHo well. Hop on his bus and you’ll love the city tour. Only downside was the eastern stops. Could’ve done without those.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello! Thank you for your review. Hope to see you again soon!

A great way to see Victoria from an overview perspective. Thereafter, you can plan focused excursions.

Sheila_P, Sept 2025
Excellent day. We were able to hop on and off for an entire day and bus came on schedule when you hopped off. Having the bus stop schedule for each place was appreciated. Great way to see the highlights of the city.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello! Thank you for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed you time with us and looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Jackie_P, Sept 2025
Because the bus was packed with passengers from a cruise ship, nobody could hop on so it was simply a bus tour.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello! Thank you for your leaving your review. We operate with 3-4 deckers daily, hopefully allowing our guests with enough availability to get on/off at the stop of your choice. We're so glad you enjoyed the full loop of Victoria.
Terry_U, Sept 2025
Brian was an excellent driver and provided very good commentary throughout the trio. He was also very helpful about other thing to do in Victoria.

Linda_H, Sept 2025
These tours provide a great way to see a city and decide where you want to spend some extra time. Our group took the entire 90 minute tour then hopped on/hopped off to spend more time at a couple of stops, including snacks and some Guinness at a nice Irish pub. Our last stop was conveniently located near the cruise ship dock so we could spend a bit more time in the city without worrying about transportation back to the ship.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello! Thank you so much for your review! I'm glad you got to experience more of the city and then hopped off at stop #8 at the cruise ship terminal. Hope to see you again soon.
Lisa_P, Sept 2025
We enjoyed seeing everything. Look forward to returning and maybe next time staying a bit longer to explore.
Response from Host, Sept 2025

It’s a great opportunity to see the city and decide where you want to spend more time. We were able to go back to the place that looked the most interesting.

Thank you!

Hello! Thank you so much for your review! I'll be sure to pass it along to Norm. Hope to see you again soon.
Celeste_L, Sept 2025
Enjoyed the narratives as we were going along the routes. I would suggest that the bus operator narrate a little louder. People are going to talk on the bus as they see beautiful sites that's inevitable. To be told not to speak is ridiculous. I'm also a little concerned that I bought this trip for my family (4 people) thinking it was 24 hours. We were at the Port until 11:30 but had to leave and go back at 5:30 because that was the last bus. The advertisement is misleading.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello, thank you for your feedback. Our passes are valid for 24 hours, however we do not operate at all hours of the day. We depart at 9am and the last bus arrives back at 7pm. Hope to see you again soon!
Lori_H, Sept 2025
This tour was a great way to see the large city of Victoria. Narration explained the history and information about the area.
