    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!

    Hello Victoria!

    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.

    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.

    Book else where

    Jose_M, Sep 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, Sep 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.

    Best guide ever

    Erik_B, Sep 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.

    Victoria Highlights

    Sheila_P, Sep 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, Sep 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, Sep 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, Sep 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.

    Great Hop on Hop off tour

    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, Sep 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, Sep 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.

    Refreshing and calming

    Lisa_P, Sep 2025
    We enjoyed seeing everything. Look forward to returning and maybe next time staying a bit longer to explore.

    Response from Host, Sep 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.

    Celeste_L, Sep 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, Sep 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!

    Zero customer service

    Sarah_L, Sep 2025
    The ride itself was pretty good and the driver was very nice. My problem was that I was getting conflicting information online about how long the tickets were valid for and whether or not we had to check in at the Empress. I called them at least 6 times and sent several messages over the course of 2 days, and never got a response. Still haven't gotten a response, but it's over now so it doesn't matter.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Hello! Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry you were having difficulties getting in touch with us. Our emails are constantly monitored and we do respond within a timely manner to each one.

    Hop on/off

    Seeing Victoria in an open air bus.

    Dave_H, Aug 2025
    Easy to order online, or in person outside of the Empress hotel. By the way, the Empress has beautiful flowers, lots of huge Dahlias.

    Good tour

    Janet_H, Aug 2025
    Good experience, the driver was friendly had a good sense of humor and knowledgeable and the ride was timely

    Awful

    Eric_H, Aug 2025
    Not worth it. Customer service didn't get back to Inquiry until over 24 hours after booking. Driver was kind but customer service is very delayed so do not expect to get any resolutions.

    Nice overview

    Patricia_E, Aug 2025
    Good overview. Driver informative and nice. Only 2 buses running so 30-60 minutes between buses. Could only do 2 stop due to waiting for the bus.
