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.

Elizabeth was a joy to be around. She was very knowledgeable about the island and shared interesting information. Her vehicle was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time!

Elizabeth was a wonderful guide. I would highly recommend her. She was perfect for our group of mostly older adults (15+ ppl). We were so happy to have a Spanish speaking tour guide in Victoria! She was super patient and accommodating with us as many in our group needed extra time to catch up (slow walkers or got distracted taking pictures and even shopping). She even stayed with us well past the agreed end time and was so gracious. A true representative of Canadian hospitality!

Terrific Tour! Elizabeth was a wonderful guide. Engaging, full of information, friendly and accommodating to our needs. Had a terrific time visiting Victoria. So many sights to see. Highly recommend Elizabeth if you are ever in Victoria. She knows not only the highlights but off the beaten path places to visit. We will be back and for sure reach out to Elizabeth again.

Elizabeth called up the best weather ever! Aside from the beautiful weather, she took us to some amazing "non" tourist locals...an absolute must is the Abkhazi Garden tour. Hope to go back some day for tea there. If you have a chance to read about the folks who created this garden, you will be amazed! Other great stops along the way. Elizabeth was professional, fun and knowledgeable...great guide! Thank you Elizabeth! Carol, Dave, Linda & Larry
