Private Tour for 6

Barbara_C, May 2024

We had a evening/twilight private tour of Victoria for 6 adults. Darwin was there waiting on the pier for us to arrive off the cruise ship and we embarked on a very safe and fun tour. We were entertained and educated for over 2 hours while he drove us to all the highlights of the city. Would definitely recommend!

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi Barbara, Thanks for the kind feedback, I am happy to hear you enjoyed the tour of Victoria. It was a real pleasure meeting your wonderful family. All the best to you all! Darwin Surfside Adventure Tours

Best way to see the Victoria

Robert_M, May 2024

Let me start by saying Darwin was a fantastic guide. The day started with a challenge; due to a 10K race and a parade right next to where we were staying, it took a bit to hook up. In addition, there were many streets closed where this tour would normally go; however, with Darwin’s extensive knowledge of Victoria, if history and background, you would never have known anything was going on. Whenever we ran into a closed road, he knew exactly where to go, and we saw everything that was advertised on the tour and even a few extra places. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria for the first time. We will definitely check out other tours provided by Darwin’s company the next time we visit Victoria. Thanks for making our 50 Anniversary special. Glenn and Lois Meade

Amazing Day in Victoria!

Daniel_M, Feb 2023

We enjoyed our day with Darwin and Sandra. They picked us up from Harbour Airport where we arrived by seaplane from Vancouver. We were so happy they had heated rear seats in their luxurious SUV. It was an unusually cold day. We were able to see everything making several stops along the way. Darwin is a very funny and knowledgeable guide who made us laugh the entire time. Sandra also has a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable. They made it easy for us to see so much in two hours and not feel rushed or as if we missed anything. It was too cold to attempt to see much on our own. Thank you Darwin and Sandra!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the to leave such kind feedback, it was an absolute pleasure meeting the both of you, and sharing our beautiful city with you. Please come back to experience more of our beautiful island. All the best! Darwin Surfside Adventure Tours

This was the most wonderful way to see the city. This tour is private and geared to what we were interested in. Darwin was a wonderful host/guide and will use him again if and when we come to town. Worth every penny. Thank you Darwin. Kim and Paul - Ontario
