Hello everyone, I’m Alan A., your private tour guide in Victoria. With 5 years of experience as a local guide and over 20 years in professional driving, I’m thrilled to offer you an exceptional tour experience in Victoria and beyond. Victoria is full of hidden gems and breathtaking scenery, and I’m here to show you the best of it. My tours blend well-known attractions with off-the-beaten-path discoveries, ensuring a unique and memorable experience. Whether you’re interested in rainforest hiking, exploring the city, visiting The Butchart Gardens, admiring waterfalls, or diving into local history, I’ll tailor the tour to your interests. I have a deep passion for the outdoors and wildlife, including bear and cougar watching, and exploring the diverse marine life of the Pacific Northwest. On my days off, I’m often discovering new places around the Pacific NW, and I’m excited to share these hidden treasures with you. For your comfort, I offer tours in a 2024 Luxury Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid (5 Passengers) and a 2017 Ford Transit 14-Passenger Luxury Van. Both vehicles are designed for a comfortable and enjoyable ride, with ample space and excellent viewing windows to take in the sights. My commitment is to provide top-notch service, and I take pride in my professional appearance and maintaining clean, luxurious vehicles. I’m a fully licensed tour operator with the province of British Columbia (PT#72046) and the city of Victoria, and I’m a member of Tourism Vancouver Island, Destination B.C., and the Victoria Limo and Tour Operators Association. My aim is to create unforgettable memories for you, working within your time and budget to ensure an exceptional experience. Please note that some outdoor activities may have age or physical restrictions, and smoking is not permitted in the tour vehicles. I look forward to showing you the best of Victoria and the surrounding areas!

Excellent Tour! Alan was very knowledgeable about Victoria, and steered us to the places to see. He was also very flexible about things we did (and didn't) want to do, and also when it came to the amount of time we spent at various locations. I would heartily recommend Alan and this tour to anybody!

An excellent tour and tour guide! We’d explained to Alan in advance the types of things we were interested in and he managed to curate a perfect tour on the day. The highlight for us was Blue Grouse winery. A beautifully designed building with amazing views and multiple cosy seating areas with fantastic wine, food and service. We also loved visiting Chinatown and learning...
