Informative Aaron - In the 1 1/2 hours you take this tour you get to see so many places, you also learn the history about so many.Aaron our tour guide made the tour interesting and kept us engaged. I urge anyone to go on the tour to figure out which beautiful areas you will then target on your own. Victoria is a charming city. and the people whom work in Victoria have alot of patience. Thank you Aaron, and never lose your humor.

A great way to see... - A great way to see Victoria in a day. It takes you through several stops. If you stay on the bus, the duration is 90 minutes. However, please note it does not take you to the Buchart Gardens.

Worth the pirce. - This was so easy! The check in was curbside at the bus stop. The bus felt safe and clean. The driver is also the narrator on the tour. I was amazed at her good driving and ability to speak at the same time. My only complaint would be the speaker system. We sat on the top deck. At times it was very hard to hear and understand the narration.

Great overview of Victoria! - The driver was wonderful, he gets a 5star. I rated a 4 star because there was also a recording which wasn’t in sync. Not the end of the world, still very enjoyable. Thank you!

Upgrade to the 48-Hour Pass - The bus only runs hourly with an hour between each stop. We wish we had known that because it would have factored into our day a little more with which stops we wanted to hop off. I would recommend the 48-hour pass if you are staying, so that you have more time to explore.

Unable to get on bus oversold spaces!!! - Beware. Buses were oversold and we could not get on after waiting 40 minutes. Do NOT recommend. Spent $45 for nothing could not use it at all. Waiting for a refund from the company -

Do NOT trust them to pick you back up. - They abandoned us in the rain and refused to stop. We chased the bus banging on the windows to get in and they just kept driving off. I DEMAND MY.MONEY BACK.
