Hello! I moved to Victoria 20 years ago with my family and have been in love with this beautiful city ever since! I love to show off Victoria's gorgeous scenery, hidden gems, beautiful vistas, unique neighbourhoods, and historical buildings! I started my career as a tour guide in 2006 leading private small bike tours along beautiful flat trails from Victoria to the quaint town of Sidney. I enjoyed this immensely and in 2012 decided to get my class 4 driver's license so I could do small group passenger tours as well! I drive a very comfortable, large Ford Transit Van with large windows for sightseeing. I can accommodate up to 10 passengers comfortably. I pick up right at the Cruise Ship Terminal, Seattle/Victoria Clipper and Coho Ferry Terminal, Harbour Air Seaplane and all hotels in Victoria and Oak Bay. In my spare time I love to ride my bike along our beautiful trails with my good friend and fellow tour guide Melanie, as well as paddle-board in the calm waters of Tod Inlet by the Butchart Gardens. I have a passion for travelling and have seen many countries in different parts of the world. I love to see the world from the eyes of a local and bring this to my private tours. I would love to provide you a personable, private tour of Victoria and surrounding areas. My tours are flexible and may be accommodated to the interests of your small group! Certificate of Excellence - TripAdvisor Class 4 driver’s license unrestricted - required to do private tours for 10+ passengers in British Columbia. Passenger Transportation License #70865.

Travel in my private large comfortable van through charming historic neighbourhoods to Fisherman's Wharf, an eclectic collection of floating homes and food kiosks. Enjoy the stunning inner harbour with the gorgeous historic Legislative Buildings and exquisite Empress Hotel. Travel through Old Town Victoria and Canada's oldest Chinatown, perhaps walk through Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest alley in North America. Admire beautiful Beacon Hill park, home to the world's tallest totem pole and beautiful gardens, ponds and peacocks! Drive through the charming tree lined Cook Street Village and Rockland neighborhood en route to visit the outside of historic Craigdarroch Castle, a Scottish baronial mansion built for wealthy coal baron Robert Dunsmuire in 1890. Pass through the gorgeous grounds of the Lieutenant Governor's mansion where the Royal family will stay!
Linda jumped in on short notice when our scheduled guide fell ill. She has a thorough knowledge of the area, its history, culture and local landmarks. She was engaging and informative. She has a great sense of humor. We enjoyed ourselves and had a great tour.
Our group of 6 booked a 2.5 hr driving tour of Victoria with Linda. She was extremely attentive to our needs and last minute changes. Her van is very nice and roomy and accommodated our group comfortably. Linda is knowledgeable of Victoria and its history. This tour was exactly as we expected and wanted.
Linda was very kind and flexible in traveling with young children in the late evening. She changed her schedule to allow our family of nine to see highlights of Victoria and let us get the young ones to bed before a long travel day.
Linda was very helpful, very friendly, & knowledgeable
