Hi there! "Get off the bus"!! Book your Customized Private Tour with me! I Love Victoria and I know you will fall in love with it too! NOTE: If you are looking for a tour during the winter months - please message me directly! Victoria, BC is a unique and charming city chock full of little hidden gems. It is my home and I enthusiastically share its treasures with all of my guests. I have strong enthusiasm for supporting Local Artists and Small Locally owned shops. When I travel, I Love to bring home treasures that are unique to my experiences there. So, I have developed some special Tours with a mix of Traditional Sightseeing with Local shopping. As Victoria's MBassador (yes, MBassador) for one of Canada's top luxury destination clubs I have provided Concierge services and assisted in trip planning for its members for the last 13 years. So, it was a natural fit for me to expand into Tourism and help YOU plan your Travel time. I've lived in several cities across Canada and North America and have been incredibly fortunate to have traveled to over 20 countries. Isn't Travelling great? Of course, you know it is that's why you're here - reading this!! When I travel, the best information comes from the people who live there and so hiring a Private guide is always something I do at least once each trip. In my free time, I like to EAT - a lot!! But I do spend a lot of time on my e-Bike, so I justify that. I am active in the community, am a member of several organizations like Tourism Victoria and the Chamber, and Love to network - is that nerdy? Other things I like
. TV, Movies, Live theatre, My daughter's adorable puppy, my amazing girlfriends, and oh yes, my partner too, puzzles - another nerdy thing. But I think mostly, aside from my peeps, I LOVE to shop, and I am a strong advocator for SHOP LOCAL. Oh yes, and I volunteer a fair bit, especially kid's charities. OK - enough about me maybe? YES! BACK TO YOU NOW! Take a look at my Tour options and just remember - It's a CUSTOM, Private Tour. Everything is flexible for groups of up to 6 people. Fully insured and licensed with the Transportation Board of BC Transportation is a Lincoln Navigator, with excellent Viewing windows and comfortable seating. I provide Bottled Water, Re-usable Shopping Bags, Shopping discounts, Umbrella, Cell phone charging, and sometimes Candy!

Overview of your Victoria tour

Experience Victoria's magic during this special 2.5-3 hour evening tour designed for cruise passengers arriving at 6:00 PM or later! While we'll try to include the breathtaking Butchart Gardens, it's not always possible (hours vary seasonally - check the website if this is a priority). We'll journey into the city's vibrant heart, maximizing the twilight charm. July -August's longer days offer spectacular bird's-eye views of Victoria and the San Juan Islands, perfect for unforgettable memories. Perhaps conclude with a toast at a cozy English pub, savoring local culture while reminiscing about the sights. We may not have all night, but we'll make every moment count for a truly special Victoria evening!

Your Victoria tour itinerary

If we are going to the Butchart Gardens, we will drive through the city with limited stops. But you will see the BC Legislative Building, Empress Hotel, Victoria's Inner Harbour & Chinatown. We will make a stop on the return for photo ops before returning to the ship. Butchart Gardens is self guided. OR The city tour may include stops at: Fisherman's Wharf - a community of quirky, gem-colored float homes Inner Harbour - including the Legislative Building, Empress Hotel, and Thunderbird Park Canada's oldest Chinatown and a stroll through the infamous Fan Tan Alley, if it is open. Craigdarroch Castle - a baronial bonanza castle built by BC's legendary Coal Baron Robert Dunsmuir Government House Grounds - available before sunset only. A beautiful Ocean Scenic drive if the light permits. Mt. Tolmie - a popular spot for spectacular sunset views of the city, distant Olympic mountains, and the San Juan Islands.
