Pedicab Spectacular - As we reflect on our summer this far we would be remiss not to mention the fantastic pedicab tour of Victoria. A smiling and enthusiastic Sara S took us on a wonderful tour of Victoria. Her enthusiasm and knowledge about historic Victoria was mind boggling. Her shinning personality made this adventure a trip of a lifetime. Her compassion for her fellow Victorias and tourists alike was on display as she gave directions to lost tourists and locals alike. We highly recommend a pedicab tour and outstandingly recommend Sara S as your tour guide. Enjoy.

Flawless -Alan is the man! - This was a fabulous experience! We had Alan as our driver and he was just wonderful. He showed us various sites around Victoria and gave us lots of interesting historical information. Very easy-going guy, takes good care of you by having blankets ready if needed, and really made the whole experience worthwhile. You definitely want to ask for Alan. Almost like having your own private guide. He was at least as much part of the experience as seeing Craigdarroch Castle.

Victoria pedicab experience - Kevin was our tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! He showed us many of the city secrets, like the tea cup tree, and the fairy houses. The Government House grounds, and the Castle, were amazing to see from the back seat of the pedicab! We were also introduced to an awesome fish & chip place called Finest at Sea. We would gladly go again, and ask for Kevin!

Didn’t know what to expect we arrived in Victoria but we are so glad we took a PediCab tour - Soren Russow was a phenomenal guide. Extremely friendly, personable and easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable and his role playing during the tour was fantastic. Our group feels he went above and beyond anything we have experienced on tours in other places. Soren is sincere and passionate about the tours which made our group feel at ease. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We did four hours and covered a LOT of ground. The price was fair and comparable to other excursions on the cruise. Soren is accomplished at photography and took some amazing pictures of our group. We highly recommend PediCab and further recommend requesting Soren as your guide.

Highly Recommend - Had an absolute blast with Soren and Julie. We had 3 couples. They took us around the residential areas to explore different trees and houses. We saw the worlds tallest totem pole. Soren played us a cool tune on a wooden instrument gifted to him. They told stories, showed us pictures. We saw the Lt Governor’s house and gardens, the Queen’s rose garden, the castle, Chinatown, Downtown stop at souvenir shop, and had a wonderful recommendation for dinner at the Commons. The trip is WELL WORTH the cost and highly recommended.

Julie's Fantastic Pedicab Tour - This was the highlight of our trip! We had an amazing time with our host, Julie, who was super friendly, loves people, and knew lots of important facts about Victoria that you'll miss if you stick to the inner harbor. We loved Julie's spirit, exuberance, and love for people. My wife and I hated to leave her when our tour was over because we felt like we'd made a friend after spending three hours with her. We visited James Bay, Govt. House & Gardens, Craidarroch Castle, a waterfront park, Chinatown, and downtown. If you're interested in a Pedicab Tour, call and ask for Julie. You'll have an absolutely wonderful time! Julie is the best!

A History from the past. - Seeing the castle was so informative and beautiful!! This was the first time to see it and my young granddaughters thought it was amazing. We had such a wonderful tour guide, I believe is name was either Allen or Brien. Hopefully you will know which was it . He made the tour even more enjoyable….

Great tour! Request Alan!! - This was an amazing way to see Victoria!! Our guide, Alan was AWESOME!! Being 13th generation Canadian he had such a wealth of knowledge of the history of his beloved country that he shared with us. It is such a personal tour experience because it is just you and the driver (Alan) so you really learn a lot. He pointed out so many cool and unique things from buildings, horticulture and places in Victoria with historical significance. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and we know Alan was a HUGE part of that… I highly recommend requesting him if you can.
