A must do when you visit or move to Victoria! - The guide, with his helping teenage daughter, did a great job to talk facts and funny and intriguing stories about the City. Very knowledgeable and experienced and answered all the questions. The use of the devices made the experience enjoyable. Although the tour went longer than planned, I wished I couod hear more of what he new about Victoria. 100% recommended 👌

Great tour and exceptional guide - Really enjoyed our tour, Chris’s knowledge of the history of Victoria is 1st rate and his passion for it really comes out through his commentary. Ear pieces made listening easy and the walk was pretty much flat and easy for everyone.
