Scott, our driver, was pleasant and knowledgeable. He was quite flexible, too, when we chose to stay in the van for a "drive by" rather than exit. He quickly picked up on what we liked and made sure we saw the points of interest to us. Oh! We saw deer walking on sidewalks! Great time.

I wish I could give Sean more than 5 stars! He was excellent! He was super patient with my dad who has mobility issues and you could tell he really loved living in Victoria and wanted to show us the best parts! We did about a two hour tour and were sad when it was done. He introduced us to ketchup chips and took us to a great shop for touristy gifts. Can not thank him enough!
