I booked this tour for an 8 hour day trip around Victoria. We were hooked up with Darwin from Surfside Adventure Tours. Excellent host and driver. He customized our trip to accommodate all the things we wanted to see while in port. He was also very helpful with one of our guest who required alittle extra assistance in and out of the van. His knowledge of Victoria was amazing and he took us to many sites that most don't get to see. I highly recommend this group tour. Thank you Darwin for an excellent time.

Our group of 4 truly enjoyed this wonderful customized tour led by Darwin, who was very professional, informative, timely, and accommodating! We saw a lot of Victoria without feeling rushed, including the Butchart Gardens, Craigdarroch Castle, Hatley Castle, downtown Victoria and more. The SUV was comfortable, clean, and well maintained. I will definitely reserve another tour with Darwin during my next visit to BC.
