What Our Customers are Saying

Operated on time and conducted a very through 1.5 hour visit. You can do hop-on hop-off for a full 24hrs. A extra pleasant view from the open upper deck.

We (2 adults + 3 kids) went on the Victoria (BC) trip, the experience was amazing. We saw the city of Victoria on an amazing sunny day and guide was very funny and good. Recommended for a quick introduction of the city.

					A nice little 90 minute tour around the Victoria town. You could rather go by yourself if you reserve well ahead for all the attractions.

					Bit expensive. Every 40 minutes is ok. Think there should be more stops and more frequent. Also Chinatown market square esquimalt and more.

					Nice mix of real-time and recorded narration! The bad: no complaints. People had personal convos during the narration but that's bad touring etiquette, not the co.



The good: The drop-off and pick-up times were clear; you knew what you were getting into. I actually checked with the person at the visitor center before the purchase to gauge its on-time rate. It was as advertised.  



It provided a quick, comprehensive way to find potential spots for a deeper dive later in the day or on another day.



The best: it does the best job I've seen of combining real-time narration with audio recordings that focus on history.



Final vote: I'd recommend.

					So much beauty all in ONE day!! We had a fabulous day from we boarded our coach in Vancouver to the Ferry to explore Victoria and all its beauty. But hart gardens was first and as our Guide Senan promised we were definitely not disappointed!!! The gardens were spectacular and we had just enough time to enjoy as Senan gave us some ‘insider tips’. Victoria was so interesting and beautiful too.. drop off points and pick up allowed us plenty of time to enjoy and we left wanting to come back for more!!!  Hopefully soon ?

					Victoria and Bichard Gardens tour via a bus and ferry The trip was enjoyable but spent a LOT of time on the bus and ferry to/from Victoria. Wound up being a 14 hour day and at least 6 hours of that was on the bus or ferry. Dave Rogers was our guide and did fill in the time with good sightseeing tips and other stories about Canada and Vancouver in particular. The bus was electric which was appreciated by at least us. Buchard Gardens was nice as was the Victoria but not sure it was worth spending a whole day to see. Seaplane travel would;d be much pricier but if it cut down the trip time to 6 hours it might be worth the extra cost.

					This was an awesome experience. Lots of things to see on this tour and you can stop and get off/on at many great locations. The bus was quite clean, the driver and staff were friendly and informative, and the narration was very well done. This is definitely something I would do again.

					The bus picked us up right outside our hotel and we rode it the full circuit. We had been to Victoria before but this gave us a chance to see more and learn more about the city. Since we got a late start we didn’t take advantage of the hop on and off piece but would do it again. One downside was that they did not allow for ADA electric scooters to be brought on board and that was limiting for a member in our party and another reason we just rode the bus all around. Also the bus is it continuous and when you get back to stop 1 there is an extended break before it starts up again.

					90 minutes narrated tour and it gives you perfect flavour of the city. Once you finish the whole tour, then continue to go each place and then hop on and off. If your guide is Tim, you are going to enjoy it even more.

					1/2 Day Well Spent Great way to get an overall feel for the layout of the victoria Area and provided good base of information.

Driver took us on streets I didn’t believe that bus would fit saved a lot of walking.

Well worth the price.
