Linda was great!

Judith_F, Jul 2023

The tour was a great way for our party of 7 to economically explore Victoria. We only had a few hours to see the site, so this tour was wonderful! Great job.

Lights and great views

Linda took us to places that we could enjoy even though it was dark out. She waited for us to arrive on our cruise 🛳 which was late. She accommodated our walker. She was so attentive and friendly.

Tour was for the city of Victoria, we asked to go to Butchart Gardens instead and the tour guide agreed. She was friend, funny and informative. We only had about 3 hours in Victoria but we enjoyed the gardens. We saw the Empress Hotel and Parliament Bldg. I hope to get back to Victoria in the next 2-3 years. I recommend this tour.

We had a limited time and our guide, Melanie, provided us with a wonderful trip to most of the city. She was extremely informative, conscious of our needs and left us with a love of Victoria. Thank you Melanie!
