What an incredible experience! Mike was THE best tour guide ever! So great with my two kids and funny. He was very safe and made the experience so fun. Very knowledgeable too and even though we are locals, we learned so much about Canadian history and Victoria. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Best quick tour
Anonymous, May 2024
Outstanding tour. We saw a bit of everything and the tour guide was fun and informative about the rich history. Any fitness level works with e-bikes. I really loved Beacon hill Park and see the lovely neighborhoods.
Great biking tour experience

Sights of Victoria
Denise_H, Sep 2023
I enjoyed all of what we saw except the "Homeless" area. Leader had an e-bike & went a little faster than I wanted to go. It would have been fun to do more of the ocean trail.
Best Bike Tour in Victoria!

Great city tour!

Enjoyed touring the city with our guide, Michael. The tour was very informative. Saw a good overview of the city… check in was efficient and the staff friendly. Would recommend!
Not for small kids
Melania_A, Aug 2023
The staff was very friendly. However, it is not a tour for families with small children. They do not have enough options to take children and the Viator page does not specify that it is for over 12 years of age.
Wonderful tour!
Joanne_C, Aug 2023
Our tour guide was wonderful. She paced the biking well, was most attentive to safety and staying together and provided excellent narration to all our stops.
Very worthwhile!

Victoria history bicycle ride
Sherry_R, Jul 2023
The ride was easy. Mike, our guide, was full of history information and made it fun. He was amazing with remembering everyone’s names! The ride was mostly streets/bike paths. Went thru parks and along the coast.
Riding in the hoods!

Loved Barbara! She was happy and informative! We used electric bikes for the first time and loved them. The people in the office were great! It was a lovely morning!
Bike and learn
Erin_A, Jul 2023
Fun tour with a friendly and informative guide. Really nice way to see more neighborhoods and get a feel for Victoria. Mostly flat biking with just a couple small hills.
Fun in the sun
Deborah_T, Jul 2023
Barbara did a fantastic job sharing history while safely taking us around the sites. Really a great way to start out our vacation.
Amazing tour, amazing guides,
Doug_S, Jul 2023
We had an amazing time on the tour!!!! Tour was on July 5 at 10:30 AM. Mike our guide was extremely knowledgeable, fun, definitely want to make sure everyone was having a great time!! they help to fit our bike to our size and also our helmets!! What surprised many of us, Mike remembered everyone of our names, and I think there was 12 or 14 in the group!!!! We toured the castles, gardens, china town, the beautiful ride on Dallas Road near the water!!! Mike shared so much history, one of the buildings the complete story of the architectural extremely informative!!!! Also, both guys were very compassionate, I previously injured my knee, torn meniscus, and going up the hill, had to hang back a bit. The guide that was in the back, which I apologize I cannot remember his name because I was in such pain, was amazing Help me get on and off the bike to continue to follow the rest of the group and stay close to make sure I was OK. At one point Mike at one of our stops moved the group closer to me so I could hear the story, which was so kind!!! We highly recommend this tour company they do a fantastic job!!!!!
