Great Tour! - We really enjoyed our time on this tour, and the tour guide was great! Living in Victoria for around 10 years, I've realized there's always more history to uncover. The city has a wealth of intriguing historical sites and visiting them is a great experience. I recommend this tour to anyone, whether you're a visitor or a long-time resident, who wants to learn more about Victoria's history.

Excellent tour including food samples :) - Gary was an excellent guide sharing several stories about the history and buildings we visited. The food samples and beverages was nice and light and gave us a pause to rest and socialize as well. We all felt it was well worth the value. Thanks for a fun afternoon.
