Great afternoon tour in Victoria - We were so lucky to find this tour and it didn’t disappoint. Our tour guide Helen was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and engaging, even did a little improv to explain a story. We and our dog had a wonderful time.

Very informative and welcoming experience! - I highly recommend Victoria Tours! I have lived on the island since 2014, but have often avoided downtown due to the congestion and avoidance of busy areas. This walking tour was fantastic and very informative. The tour guides showed a passion for the city and its history. I recommend making sure you dress for the weather with the unpredictable west coast.

Learning the fun history of Victoria. - The tour was great! Fun, engaging, Claire was incredibly knowable on the history of the area and I learned a lot of fun facts and interesting stories that aren't found in the normal history or guide books. I loved it!
