Highly recommend! A wonderful day! - Byron was wonderful! So knowledgeable about the cities, the architecture, the history, etc. Always positive and cheerful. A real delight to spend the day with. We saw so much! Great restaurant recommendations, plenty of time to explore on our own and with the group. Wonderfully timed to avoid the crowds created by the other big buses. Highly recommend!

Pleasant Day out - Although the day itself was lovely and sights were amazing , we felt our tour guide did far too much talking ( overkill ) Spoke nearly the whole time there and back !!! She was no doubt very pleasant and knowledgeable about everything , however , sometimes guests need some quiet time to talk with our partner or those around us . So much so that in Victoria we chose to show ourselves around without our guide . Would recommend the tour itself as Discover Canada Tours is a fantastic company

Be careful-very very careful with your booking - What a joke! I’m sure the trip was great but we never got to go. I was told by Viator we could be dropped off at our hotel. The company running the trip said they never pick up or drop off anywhere but the port. After several hours both thru email and on the phone, we were never able to reach a resolution so we weren’t able to go. No big deal $200 down the drain!
