A city worth visiting again and again - A city full of rich cultural heritage, with four distinct seasons, pleasant scenery, and a pleasant climate, which is very suitable for living. Walking in the city, you feel friendly and safe. Walking through the alleys and streets are full of surprises. There are delicious and fresh food around the harbor. It has a long history and is full of diversity. The culture, the scenery available everywhere, and the charm of the unique old harbor town are worth visiting in this lifetime.

Don't miss this - Alan was delightful. He had great stories to go with all of the fun places we toured. We even had a bystander come over and listen to one of the stories. This is a not to be missed experience.

Terrific tour of Victoria Chinatown with fun stories and history - There were 3 pedicabs for 6 of us and each guide contributed info during the tour. Great info on history in Victoria and interesting stories. Shane, Alan and Paige were all fun and encouraged us to ask questions.

Superb Tour - Shane, our guide, has five generations of family preceding him. His [ride in his family and in Victoria, coupled with his historical expertise, made for a delightful excursion through old town and Chinatown.

Touch the pulse of Victoria - Darn well worth it! Julie French’s pedicab tour of Victoria, James Bay and Beacon Hill Park was informative and entertaining. We saw small details and a deeper insights into the past and present of a lovely city. We were a little apprehensive initially about asking anyone to peddle the both of us up and down the terrain but our concerns were needless as the bikes are electric. I couldn’t recommend the tour or Julie more.

SUCH A LOT OF FUN - Chose this activity because we had never done it before. Guide was engaging and fun. It was a full
90 minutes of informative narrative. Walked for a bit around Chinatown. Will certainly be keen to try this type of tour elsewhere.

Tour guide made this event a highlight of our visit - We took the Victoria pedicab tour with Shea who was one of the best tour guides we have experienced. She was so interactive and fun with her stories. My teenager granddaughter was not sure she wanted to do the tour but said Shea made it one of her most fun memories. Shea was very knowledgeable about the sites and even went out of her way to show us where some shops were we were having trouble finding on our own. Wonderful day!
