A tour worth taking! - Our guide Fish was knowledgeable, engaging, caring, and made the walk a lot of fun! I did not bring a jacket with me and Fish even let me use his jacket when I was cold. He also offered to stay after to help anyone if they wanted recommendations or even help with any other types of bookings we might need. Terrific service, Fish! We learned a lot about Victoria and saw lots of beautiful, historic, and interesting spots. Booking was easy and fast. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors.

Much more to Victoria than we thought - Dave, our guide, gave us a great appreciation of the city's beautiful architecture, as well as its history, development, and culture. We learned some interesting facts, stories, and anecdotes and discovered many fun downtown neighbourhoods and streets we never would have found on our own.

Fascinating hidden Victoria - Had a great time on this tour. There were only 5 of us including the guide so it helped keep things informal. Our guide David, was knowledgeable and entertaining with some great stories (were they really all true?) and gave us a feel for Victoria's quirky and at times poignant history. He also gave us some handy restaurant recommendations. It is a walking tour lasting 2 hours so wear comfortable shoes and bring some water with you. Recommended? Yes!

Our “mate” Jack! - Jack was our guide! He was very informative, thorough and fun. He was conscious of allowing time for pictures and answering questions(and rest room / coffee stops)! Very enjoyable! He also gave great suggestions for areas and specific restaurants/cuisine! Highly recommend!
