Pedicab Tour - Shain, our driver, is very knowledgeable about the area as he has deep roots connecting him to Victoria. Although a bit of a chilly day, he had a blanket ready for us. He took us around town to see older homes and gardens, downtown, Chinatown and even an alley where we got off and could shop. He told us about the older building, shops, and how we could get around town after the tour. He also showed us a few of his personal family photographs. We thoroughly enjoyed the pedicab experience and highly recommend.

A city worth visiting again and again - A city full of rich cultural heritage, with four distinct seasons, pleasant scenery, and a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for living. Walking in the city, you feel friendly and safe. Walking through the alleys and streets are full of surprises. There are delicious and fresh food around the harbor. It has a long history and is full of diversity. The culture, the scenery available everywhere, and the charm of the unique old harbor town are worth visiting in this lifetime.

Don't miss this - Alan was delightful. He had great stories to go with all of the fun places we toured. We even had a bystander come over and listen to one of the stories. This is a not to be missed experience.
