Excellent value tour - An excellent trip with Joe, he gave us so much information which really brought the city alive. I enjoyed having a nose inside the Fairmount hotel ( the Empress) which I wouldn’t have done on my own. Thank you.

A visit not to be missed - It was an informative and friendly visit thanks to Joe, our charming guide. It must be said that he knew the city and its history well and knew how to tell serious snippets of history as well as funny anecdotes with brilliance.

Beautiful Victoria! - We had a great day touring Victoria with Tooney tours with Chantal as our guide. The pace was just right & the information provided at each stop was as expected. Do you know which statue has 2 left feet? 🧐? The flowers throughout the city are gorgeous, especially the Orca display!

Great introduction to the history of Victoria - A great way to spend a couple of hours, walking around the centre of Victoria. Our guide was excellent. She explained the history in great detail and in an interesting way. Not an ideal occasion for taking a pet!! (Not us by the way)

A great way to start off your visit - We had a wonderful tour. It was a great way to start our visit to Victoria and it gave us a good idea of what we needed to see later in our trip. We went back to the Parliament as recommended and back to the Bard and Banker restaurant based on the fact it was named after one of my favorite poets. We also saw so many interesting points of interest we would have missed.

Want a great overview of Victoria? Do this tour! - Chantel was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and covered everything on our list of sights to see in Victoria. She was also very responsive to the needs of the group. The registration process was flawless and the tour even went a little beyond the described end time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to cover all bases of Victoria sightseeing.
