Great Tour! - So much fun! We were only in Victoria for a short time from a cruise. We took a Uber to downtown and checked in, we were on our way in the matter of a few minutes. It was informative and a great way to see more of the city in such a short time. Our tour guide was really good also!

Well worth it! - Well worth it! Although we came in late to Port from our cruise, they were very accommodating to wait for us to start our trip. It was also dark so we did not get to see Victoria in all of its beauty however, Lydia, and of course Elsie were amazing. Lydia taught us so much about the town and the way that she described it. We could picture exactly the way that it looked I would highly recommend that you accommodated my grandmother who is traveling with us and has limited mobility . Extra bonus - The price was much better than the cruise price.
