Let’s explore this special place together With a born-and-raised Island girl. About Melanie Born and raised on Vancouver Island, my family roots here go back over 125 years. I’ve always felt a deep connection to this special place I call home—growing up exploring rainforest trails, beachcombing along the coast, and spending time on our lakes and ocean. That love of the land and sea has been passed down through generations, with my family involved in farming, fishing, homebuilding, and the skilled trades—a proud island tradition. Before becoming a guide, I ran our family renovation business and developed a lasting passion for home design and real estate—something I still enjoy today. I’m a true nature lover and also inspired by the vibrant local scene in Victoria—from our incredible food and wine to art, boutiques, and unique local finds. I’ve always had a love for travel and connecting with people from around the world. Since 2015, I’ve been sharing Victoria and Vancouver Island through thoughtfully paced, comfortable, and truly local private tours. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing this special place I call home with you.

This private tour set to your pace focuses on scenery and time well-spent in nature. Victoria's natural beauty is staggering, and this is a satisfying way to spend half a day. We begin with Beacon Hill Park, where peacocks roam, and our "Moss Lady" resides. Next, along the coastline drive with stops along the way, discover the rocky beaches where driftwood are collected by locals and turned into art. Enjoy picturesque views of the Olympic mountains, Mount Baker and the Juan de Fuca Strait, relaxing and admiring this breathtaking landscape. It's time for a walk or mild hike to stretch! Wander through forest with touring trees rich with fauna and flora. You'll have plenty of opportunities to snap a 360 degree shot, story, or video of our picturesque land and sea.
This is a wonderful tour, highly recommend booking this tour with Melanie!! Great guide communication. It was such a nice tour to get out of the city and into the beautiful, peaceful nature that Victoria offers, while also learning a lot about the history of Victoria and the island. It was a special experience. Thanks again, Melanie,
We had the very best tour with Melanie. She showed us lots of the natural beauty in and around the city of Victoria. Spectacular! She is knowledgeable and fun to be with. A great way to enjoy several hours in this special city:) Bev and Jon Winter
Excellent guide with a lot of knowledge. Very friendly and very attentive to your needs. We recommend her very highly.
Our tour with Melanie was great! She covered all the areas we had talked about in advance in a fun, informative way. Plus, she was flexible and sensitive to our particular wants and needs during the planning and all along the way. We really got the local perspective in places we visited and the story behind them. It was great. We give Melanie 5 stars and highly recommend her!
Melanie gave us a great tour of Victoria. She was waiting for us when we got off the ship. Was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and we couldn't have asked for a better tour. You can't go wrong using Melanie if you want to experience Victoria.
