Let’s explore this special place together With a born-and-raised Island girl. About Melanie Born and raised on Vancouver Island, my family roots here go back over 125 years. I’ve always felt a deep connection to this special place I call home—growing up exploring rainforest trails, beachcombing along the coast, and spending time on our lakes and ocean. That love of the land and sea has been passed down through generations, with my family involved in farming, fishing, homebuilding, and the skilled trades—a proud island tradition. Before becoming a guide, I ran our family renovation business and developed a lasting passion for home design and real estate—something I still enjoy today. I’m a true nature lover and also inspired by the vibrant local scene in Victoria—from our incredible food and wine to art, boutiques, and unique local finds. I’ve always had a love for travel and connecting with people from around the world. Since 2015, I’ve been sharing Victoria and Vancouver Island through thoughtfully paced, comfortable, and truly local private tours. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing this special place I call home with you.

This was an awesome tour and I couldn't have asked for a better guide. Melanie seemed to know all of the history, architecture, flowers, roads to take, everything. She was always accommodating, verifying whether something would or wouldn't be of interest to me, and made sure there was time for everything. We saw so much and gave me so much history and perspective. If...
