Beautiful informative guided tour - Our Guide, a Quebec teacher who has lived in Victoria for 40 years, has obviously done his homework. He shared a great deal of history with us. Very much appreciated

Very interesting tour. - Very informative tour. We especially liked the earpieces which meant everyone could hear the guide talk very easily, but it made it a bit hard to interact with the guide, so it was more of a "listen to the information" tour rather than interactive. Personally, I like tours with a bit more on local culture/ fun facts/ interesting characters in history to bring things to life a bit more. Would still recommend.
