A History from the past.

Kay_D, Aug 2022

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.

Perfect history lesson

We had a great time touring around Victoria. Our guide was from the area and very knowledgeable about its history. The castle and Beacon Hill Park were our favorites. We also over seeing the oldest wooden street in the country.

Our guide and driver Gerry was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the area, and was a great story teller. He was punctual, passionate and funny. Gerry went above and beyond what we expected in order to give us a personal experience. We highly recommend Gerry for this tour.

We enjoyed our pedicab tour to the castle however we were unable to tour the inside as it was closed, we were quite disappointed even though you had contacted them and their reply was, no worries someone will be there, it will be open. I had requested you ask since our ship would not dock until 5:30 p.m. and the earliest we could leave ship would be around 6 p.m. Our pedicab driver pulled up plan B and we did have a great tour of Victoria downtown and the government buildings. We plan to return next year and hopefully can find a castle tour that will get us there and into the castle....it is a beautiful building outside, gotta see the inside too!

In addition to a personal tour of Craigdarroch Castle, a visit to the gardens surrounding Government House was spectacular. Walk at your leisure and smell the flowers, see deer, and sample the many herbs growing in the Herb Garden. The guide, Andrew, is most informative and makes sure you enjoy the tour. Highly recommended!!

Good tour. Recommended only 4 stars due to high price and guide trying to encourage us to pay for additional time/tour.
