Reviews
We had a great time on this tour. We explored various neighborhoods and learned about the history of Victoria. We even had the opportunity to ride through the cemetery. Our guide was super nice and knowledgeable. Had a wonderful time biking around the city.
I have been meaning to write this since October! We like to start off our vacations with a bike tour and Steph, our tour guide, did a great job giving us an overview of the city. The weather was picture perfect and we ended up the only two on the tour. Steph was an amazing tour guide who was well informed, pleasant to be with, answered all of our questions, referred us to great restaurants. Although we rode on main streets throughout the city, we always felt safe. The ride is mostly flat, but we covered a lot of ground and got a feel for the city layout so we could later explore on our own by bike and foot. Victoria is a beautiful city and we would highly recommend this bike tour!
This was our 4th Viatour bike trip. Large group and being on city streets w/large group single file was important. Our group leader had been a theater major meaning her presentation of material was excellent once we stopped. Those ar the front of the ride got a lot more out of the tour. When I requested that perhaps she let those in front give those at back a chance up front and nothing happened I realized we weren't going to have the same experience we have had on other Viatour trips. The bike were great ... easy to handle and comfortable!
A great cycling tour reasonably well paced and enough hills to make you feel as though you had at least done some exercise. The Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Victoria and made the tour very interesting. Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend this bike tour. They were well organized and it is a great way to see the city. The bikes are in great shape and there are plenty of them. Our guide, Connor was friendly, able to work with all ages and very knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods and sites in the Victoria. We had a blast !! Janice F.
