Not what was promised. Over paid, undervalued.
Greatest way to see Victorias highlights in 2 1/2 hour 👍
Awesome time with Mike and Alexandra. Highly recommend them.
It was the perfect day for a ride through Victoria to see some of the sights we were interested in but would not see them all by walking. Our guides were safety conscious and kept us moving on foot when we stopped to explore and area as well as by bike using the Victoria's extensive and well maintained bike lanes. Motorists were courteous as we made turns in traffic and traveled to the highest points and along the beach front. The interest points were historical proving good stories and background for perspective of the city. It has been a few weeks since we returned home and w are still talking about the bike tour. Thanks for the fun sightseeing ride!
We had a fantastic bicycle tour with The Pedaler (the team with awesome communication). Our tour guide, Alan, was super. He made the experience seamless from start to finish - friendly, knowledgeable, and great local tips for Poutine and the best pizza. His pacing was spot-on while keeping everyone comfortable and confident on the bikes. Alan’s stories and recommendations brought Victoria to life, we saw so much more than we expected without ever feeling rushed. The equipment was excellent, the staff welcoming, and the whole experience felt thoughtfully designed. If you want to truly experience Victoria, not just see it, this is the way to go. Highly recommend The Pedaler and Alan for anyone visiting the city.
This was a good tour and gave us an idea of the different areas of Victoria. We stopped 5 times and got some interesting history about the area. I would have liked to stop a few more times to get some pictures, especially along the water front which was beautiful and the inner harbor.
Ben was our guide. He was informative and fun. No one else was on the tour with us so it ended up just we three and Ben. We enjoyed the bike route and the stops we made. The route is easy to ride and relaxing. We would recommend this tour highly.
Great way to spend a few hours and a beautiful day exploring Victoria. Michael was a great guide and the bikes were super fun and safe.
