Luis was a very knowledgable and highly entertaining guide! His insight into what to do, where to eat and all the history of the town and surrounding area was very valuable!
The tour guide’s knowledge is of great importance. Richard is fantastic, and extremely knowledgeable!
Luis was an excellent, very knowledgeable guide. So much to see! With a 3 hour time frame we could have seen more. For some reason he was under the impression that none of us paid for the tour but we all did. It would have been helpful ( and more professional) if he had a hat or jacket or something to identify himself as a guide. We were looking all over for someone. Great value.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed Luis's expertise and found the tour to be a great value. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding your payment. To clarify, some platforms only collect a booking fee to secure your spot, while the tour itself is gratuity-based; however, we will work with our team to ensure this is communicated more clearly to avoid any awkwardness. Regarding identification, our guides typically carry a red umbrella with our company name during the colder months, but we hear you—it wasn't enough this time. We are already looking into more efficient ways (like branded hats or gear) to make sure we’re easily spotted. Thank you for helping us improve, and we hope to see you again for an even smoother experience
We really enjoyed the walk with Jayne, in Victoria. He showed us the parliament, the promenade and told us many anecdotes of the place. The city is very nice and we had a great time. We'd love to come back soon.

Our tour guide was extremely kind and friendly. Very knowledgable about history and the city of Victoria. We really enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend this tour. I brought a friend for her birthday. We had lunch on the harbor and then met the tour guide at the Visitor Centre at 2 p.m. We had beautiful sunny although chilly weather in early November. Just lovely. The guide was very generous and respectful. So glad we went!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you and your friend enjoyed the tour and that it made her birthday celebration even more special. It’s great to know the sunny November weather cooperated and that your time in Victoria, from lunch on the harbor to meeting your guide; was lovely throughout. We’re especially happy to hear such kind words about your guide. Knowing they made your experience informative, welcoming, and memorable truly means a lot to us. Thank you for recommending the tour, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back on another adventure in the future.
The tour gave us a good overview of the history and development of Victoria. Our Guild Joe was very good, entertaining and at the same time very informative. The perfect combination for us. The tour was good to go .
We’re so happy you had a great time exploring Victoria with Joe! He’ll be thrilled to know you enjoyed both his storytelling and the historical insights.
