Amazing tour option when visiting a Victoria BC, specially for a short stay! - Highly recommend Surfside Adventure Tours! We had a 4 hour stop in Victoria BC while on a cruise. The 2 hour luxury tour was perfect. Alan was extremely responsive and courteous through the whole process. He was as very reachable via phone and helped me answer a bunch of questions during the booking process. The day of the tour he was there 30 mins before I was able to disembark and was waiting for us right outside the terminal with a sign. The van was clean and spacious and all 13 of us (including 7 children) felt comfortable and safe. The tour itself was amazing. Alan was very knowledgeable and friendly. His tour really gave us a feel of how amazing and beautiful Victoria is. We drove by the main sites and were able to get off the car in a beautiful garden. The kids had a lot of fun as did the adults feeding the peacocks and smelling beautiful roses. Then we had some time to go souvenir shopping and have some local snacks. As we rode back to the port, we saw the HUGE line for the shuttle back. I felt at peace as I knew for sure we would get to our cruise on time comfortably. The price is also amazing! All in all an amazing experience with Alan and Surfside adventure tours. Definitely a must if you want a safe, reliant and comfortable experience at affordable prices while visiting Victoria BC!

A highlight of our trip to Victoria! - We had an amazing time with Alan as our guide. We saw so many special things in Victoria on this 2-hour tour. It was such a good value for the money and Alan was constantly offering to take pictures of us at great scenic spots. It looked like we had been in Victoria for days with all of the things we visited and photos we got. We really appreciated Alan's narration and information around all that we were seeing. Plus, he really adapted the tour for us and our interests. While we packed a lot in, it never felt rushed which was amazing. Very enjoyable experience and a highlight of our trip to Victoria. Highly recommend!

Victoria, BC City Tour - Very informative and punctual. He took us to many spots on the island. We were on a cruise that stopped at night but our guide Richard was able to accommodate us and get us back to the ship on time.

Just Heh! - Not much to see in Victoria. My cruise ship got there at 8pm so the two hours were in the dark. Went around and saw a bunch of big pretty houses and stopped at three scenic photo ops. Richard was pleasant and informative. Would I do it again? Maybe, maybe not - depends
