Fun tour around Victoria in a Model X! - We were lucky to get the founder (Kevin) of the company to take us on a tour. Kevin was super friendly, polite and informative. I am usually skeptical of tours as they tend to be cookie cutter but this was a great experience!

Fabulous Experience! - We booked Alset Tours for my sister’s bachelorette, and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had in Victoria. Kevin was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional.
I’ve lived in Victoria for 15 years and many of the beautiful areas we visited were new to me.
The Alset Wine Tour was not only a fabulous way to learn a bit about the island while travelling in style, but great way to support local businesses.

Great Service - Dear Kevin; Tesla Tours
I would like to thank you for the most enjoyable tour ever.
You knew the history of all the places of interest that we passed and the recommended stop was a new delightful discovery for me.
You treated your passengers with courtesy and a friendly formality making one feel like royalty.
I'm looking forward to doing winery and cidery tours with friends and relatives in the near future. Markyta Cumpelik👍🏼

Best way to see Victoria - We were on a cruise. John picked us up, we had made a few suggestions on places
we wanted to go, Butchart Gardens was top of our list. John got us tickets, walked us
in and we spend a few hours. Flowers are beautiful, history of gardens so interesting. Just a beautiful place to spend a few hours. John proceeded to take us past Craigdarroch Castle,
we got out took a few pictures, thru Chinatown, past Parliament, explaining history of areas etc. Went up to Mt. Douglas Park, spectacular views. Could see our cruise ship.
Can't say enough about this tour and in a Tesla! A must!! We had a great time!!
Thanks John!

Great personal tour - Just finished a wonderful Saturday tour. Took us to castles, communities and lookouts we never would have found on our own. Our driver, JT, was from Victoria and very knowledgeable. Well recommended, fun and informative. And if possible get a meal or a drink at The Beach House.
