Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ogden Point Terminal, 185 Dallas Rd, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1A1 Canada
Begin with a short trek along the gorgeous coastline, and see some of the natural features and what lies underneath the ocean surface.
Enter one of Victoria’s oldest and friendliest neighborhoods—James Bay. You will see some of loveliest homes and gardens in town. Many of the homes were hand built and conform to the city’s heritage status bylaws by keeping the original character and colors of the 19th century.
As you roll through the community, a stop can be made at the oldest local grocer in town and supplier of arguably the best coffee and tea in town.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Carr House, 207 Government St, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 2K8 Canada
Stop at the Emily Carr House and find out more about one of Victoria's more famous (infamous) artists. If desired, guests can tour the museum, admission is by donation.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Beacon Hill Park, 100 Cook St, Victoria, British Columbia V8V Canada
Travel on bicycle paths and quiet lanes as you meander through Beacon Hill Park—the city’s green jewel. It features many gardens and flowering shrubs and trees including the Sun Dial Garden where more wedding photos are shot in town than anywhere else.
The peacocks will respond to the Pavlovian ring of the bicycle bell and will greet you in exchange for some organic barley seeds. Ask your guide to point out the Bald Eagle’s nest and take advantage of a photo op when you cross the medieval stone bridge.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Old Town, Victoria, British Columbia Canada
Leave the bliss of the park and enter into the spectacular inner harbour which includes the Legislative Buildings and the famous Empress Hotel. Then, head to the historic downtown core. The city comes alive when ships are in town and very often there will be street performers at every block.
Pass by many shops that are preserved in their original Victorian character and very wide sidewalks allow opportunities to
stop, take pictures or even venture in for a closer look. In a few blocks, the crowds will thin and you will experience the heart of Old Town.
This is some of downtown Victoria’s best locations and yet most visitors do not venture this far to experience it.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site, 500 Fisgard St., Victoria, British Columbia V8W 1R4 Canada
Pass through the Gates of Harmonious Interest and explore Canada's oldest Chinatown. Take a peek down Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest street in Canada, and time permitting grab a snack or souvenir from one of the local shops.
Duration: 30 minutes

Left ship with no particular plans. Met Julie, from Pedicabs, and her enthusiasm convinced us to tour the city. It turned out to be our most memorable excursion. Julie was knowledgeable, funny, witty and throughly entertaining.

Jeff was a great guide, very personable and knowledgeable. We loved seeing the historic sights of Victoria from the relaxed view of the Pedicab. Jeff made sure we got to stop and take pictures, even being out photographer for a couple of shots. Highly recommend this way of seeing the city of Victoria!

This was one of the best tours we’ve taken. Julie French was our guide for a three hour pedicab tour. We were picked up and dropped off after the tour right near our ship. Julie is knowledgeable, interesting and fun! She showed us unique places in Victoria. Her customer service was outstanding. I would HIGHLY recommend this company and this guide!!!

We took an impromptu trip from our cruise ship. Ryan Cando was our driver. He promised a fun trip and did not disappoint. He showed us a ton of local stuff, knew all of the locals, we stopped for coffee/tea and snacks and pictures. We would highly recommend this trip!

Jules was a really fun tour guide and told us a lot of stories as she whizzed us around the lovely sights of Victoria. My 86 year old Mom and I really enjoyed Jules spicy commentary.

This was a fantastic tour. We had a group of 6. It was a chilly day so the guys came prepared with blanks and stopped at a local bakery so we could get coffee and hot chocolate. We would highly recommend this tour.

This is a most enjoyable way to tour Victoria. Adrian & John were great peddlers and Adrian was so easy to communicate with, especially after we wanted to bring another couple along at the last minute. They gave interesting stories & information about the neighborhoods, parks and the downtown area and made sure we got some great photos. And the blankets they provided were sooo nice. I recommend this tour as a great way to learn what the locals know.
