These are the things I enjoy most and want to share with you on your visit to Victoria, British Columbia: Exploring new and fascinating places, discovering gardens and heritage buildings, tasting a local dish by the sea, exploring the maze of streets on Antique Row and China Town, and sharing good stories. You will be enchanted by the city of Victoria, situated at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, a place rich in ecological splendour, with history kept alive in its many heritage buildings and harbours. Victoria is the unique place I chose as my home because I love and appreciate a place keen on protecting nature and animals, and a place that promotes culture and the art as well as the acknowledgement of its First Nation people. This region of the world is spectacular. The climate is the mildest in Canada. Our summers are never too hot and winters temperatures rarely freeze. The magical beauty of Salt Spring Island, my favourite summer tour, is only a short ferry ride from Victoria. It is a fantastic place to explore, especially with me, your local guide who knows the scenic routes and very special places in this beautiful part of the world. I love my work and I invested in a beautiful van, comfortable and with big windows. I have excellent driving skills and have a license that would let me drive a bus. Both vehicles are passenger licensed. My aim is to make you the visitor, have a wonderful experience doing and seeing things that interest you and that will give you wonderful memories of your trip to Victoria and Vancouver Island. The parks, beaches, gardens, the spectacular landscape and quaint colourful communities inspire my tour plans that I set out to create especially with you in mind. I take time to create a tour that is personalized just for you and your people so that you see and do what you like and at your pace. Take a look at my garden, Island, and city tours and feel free to choose the places that most attract you. I will take you there by the most scenic routes in and around Victoria, BC, Vancouver Island, and on Salt Spring Island. I can conduct tours in fluent Spanish too. I am a full time tour guide in beautiful Victoria, BC. I own a comfortable mini van that is Passenger Licensed (PT#72124) I customize your tour to suit your schedule, interests, and pace. Places you want to visit, can be included and planned for your tour. For example, you may choose to go to Butchart Gardens and visit Vineyards as well. You may wish to go for a hike and take in historical waterways. I have been a tour guide for over 11 years and have conducted hundreds of customized tours for visitors that come from all over the world. I am also able to provide the tour in Spanish and in Hebrew.

Overview of your Victoria tour

Ever wonder where the locals hangout, where we like to walk in Victoria, British Columbia and on Vancouver Island? Where we like to eat, have a drink, and shop? I will take you to beautiful neighbourhoods, harbour walkways, and secret gardens that I love and that are less frequented by tourists. The beauty of Victoria, BC Inner Harbour is splendid as are the snow capped mountains across the Juan Da Fuca Strait. In this private tour of Victoria, you will visit special historical streets, and narrow alley ways of shops, in the Oldest China Town in Canada, and in the heart of Victoria. Discover my favourite park, Beacon Hill, with the tallest totem pole in the world. We will visit small marinas with floating houses, walk along a breakwater wall, and take a seaside drive to Government House, where I often go walking on the stunning grounds. All my tours of Victoria, are flexible to suite your interests and places where you may want to eat and shop. All at your pace.
