Mac with the blue boxers and little yellow duckies. - Mac was waiting for a pickup and we were tired of walking, so we hired him to take us on a jaunt around Victoria for an hour's ride. He was very cordial, humorous, and informative. He works part time. He was well worth the trip.

Such a unique and fun way to tour Victoria! - The Pedicab was such a fun way to tour Victoria! We got off our cruise ship and John met us at the terminal. Instead of a horse and carriage, it’s a bike and carriage. They were about six pedicabs and cyclists for hire there. John had blankets to keep us warm if needed. Because he’s riding a bicycle, it’s easy to stop and take a closer look at anything that interests you. John had a planned itinerary for all the iconic things to see and do in Victoria, but you can also make requests. It was so much fun that when we returned to the cruise terminal, we told two other cruise passengers about our experience and they decided to tour by pedicab instead of a walking tour too. I highly recommend this!

Informative & Unique Way to Tour Victoria - 10-2-25: After a long day, we decided to get some food in China Alley for the BC Ferry trip back to Vancouver. Luckily, Paige was available to give us a short tour before we needed to get back to our hotel to meet our bus. It started to sprinkle so Paige raised the cover and even had a waterproof blanket for our laps. I am a plus size woman but her pedal cab fit me and my friend easily. I am also disabled and it was not hard to get in and out of the cab with my cane. Paige gave us a tour of places that we didn’t see on our hop on, hop off tour. She had lots of interesting information especially about the Chinese school and murals around town. She also answered our questions about living in Victoria. I felt safe and Paige was an excellent driver. I felt the price was affordable, and it was a fun way to navigate the charming city. Thank you, Paige!
