Wonderful Tour - Great Tour Guide - Alan did a superb job guiding us into the beautiful back country and to the western shores of Vancouver Island. He was everything you'd want in a tour guide: knowledgeable, flexible, personable and a very safe driver. We are an older couple and weren't up to walking long distances, so Alan tailor-made the tour for us that was easy on our knees and yet encompassed all the breathtaking sights the region has to offer. We have been on many good private tours over the years, but this one was right there at the top of the list of favorites for us. We highly, HIGHLY recommend Alan and Surfside Adventure Tours.

Excellent time with Alan from SurfSide Tours - We had two day tours back-to-back with Alan at SurfSide Tours and they were the highlight of our vacation! (The other tour was named "The Ultimate Group Package Tour of Victoria.") As parents, we found Alan to be friendly, conscientious, interesting, informed, and intelligent. Our kids (14 and 11 yo) describe him as fun, caring, knowledgeable, funny, happy, and a good storyteller. We lucked out with perfect weather and this tour fulfilled my daughter's lifelong dream to visit tide pools (we're from South Dakota). We spent about an hour and a half at Botanical Beach taking pictures of the waves and tiny ecosystems on the beach, but all the other stops were beautiful, too. Right when he picked us up at our hotel, Alan said he had a "surprise" for my daughter that day... and sure enough, a couple hours later, he caught a lizard at Lizard Lake that she instantly fell in love with! Alan just made everything work out so well; I can't think of anything that could have been better!

Personal and made special by Darwin - We have been to Vancouver Island before but never seen beyond Victoria. This tour was exceptional; taken all over the south west coast through to Sooke. The scenery was spectacular. Darwin made this tour personal to us and I recommend this to anyone wanting to get off the tourist trail.
