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.

My 4 kids (ages 18, 16, 14 and 12) had a wonderful time with Elizabeth and the 4 evening hours off the cruise ship. We saw so many beautiful sights in Victoria!

Elizabeth was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgable guide. The tour was very well tailored to our requirements including a disabled member of the group and an excitable 4 year old. Elizabeth knew lots of places not included in the offerings from our cruise company. She is great with young children, my daughter had a lovely time. I would recommend Elizabeth wholeheartedly and would give her five stars! Thanks Elizabeth

Our day touring with Elizabeth was delightful. She did an excellent job tailoring the tour to accommodate my mother who was using a wheelchair. Her vehicle was also so comfortable. I will want to book with Elizabeth the next time I am in Victoria. Her knowledge of the area, and openness to shifting gears to make all family members happy was lovely.

We enjoyed the tour and so parts of Victoria that we other wise would not have or even were aware of. Elizabeth was also very good with our kids and engaged them despite their being tired.

Elizabeth gave a delightful tour of Victoria. We had a six year old with us celebrating her birthday that day and Elizabeth even brought her a small gift and one for her sister. Very thoughtful. We hope to return to Victoria next year and will definitely seek her out for another tour.
