Overview

Come experience what makes Victoria special through our tour of the historic heritage neighborhood of James Bay and the spectacular Beacon Hill Park. Our guides will educate and entertain you with information about the history of our city, as it evolved from a small fur trading outpost to a booming gold rush town, to the present day capital of British Columbia. We have lots of stops for photos along the way, so be sure to bring your camera. Our guides are able to customize your tour based on what you want to see, feel free to inquire either before booking or while on tour about any wishes and we will do our best to make it happen. Contact us for other start times.

Exciting and Fun Experience - Even for Locals

Published on Oct, 2024

We had an absolutely wonderful time experiencing all of the great landmarks and niche "real life Easter eggs" of James Bay. Even as someone who has lived in Victoria for almost a decade there was lots to learn and discouver.

Amazing!

Published on Aug, 2024

Our tour exceeded expectations. My mom is hearing impaired so she would have difficulty hearing narration during big bus tours or hop on/off. This completely met our needs. Allen made sure to stop/turn so she could easily hear him. He told so many wonderful stories about the houses and Beacon Hill. We learned so much!

Julie French, the best!

Julie provided the best tour. We enjoyed the tour with her due to her knowledge and great service. We recommend her service

Great tour!

Published on Jul, 2023

Great tour. Interesting history and overview of Victoria. Perfect for a cool day. Our guide, Alan, was knowledgeable and appreciated the Emily Carr art and information.

Adrian made our trip to Victoria!

Published on Jun, 2023

Adrian--a good-natured, charming giant of a man--took my friend and I (and my 90 pound Golden Retriever service dog) on a wonderful 2.5 hour tour from Fisherman's Wharf through Beacon Hill Park and then through downtown and Chinatown, even dropping us at our lodging. We thoroughly enjoyed all the delightful, off-beat stops and stories (like the Tea Cup tree, the peacocks and nesting herons, and the ghost of Robert Service). We had just one day in Victoria, and learned so much of what this beautiful city has to offer only because of the tour. It's worth every penny and we'd recommend it to anyone--ideally, start off your stay with the tour, and then go back to the places you'd like to spend more time exploring.
