Best experience!! So fun & we recommend! - Great experience with our amazing host Jack w/ the best English accent! We took my 85 year old dad out on the adventure and we all loved it!! We got to see so much in the 3 hour tour, worth booking if you are looking for something fun! We loved the stops, drinks, food and boat rides! Jack got us all chatting right away and met some fun couples. We decided if we come back to Victoria we would book it again!

Pickle pub crawl tour - It was a lot of fun. We learned some interesting facts about Victoria and new places to go and see. Amber was our tour guide. She was informative, and easy going. She kept us on track and made sure we were all doing good. I will definitely encourage anyone to go for a casual fun time.

Wonderful tour! - We really had a great time with hidden Victoria's pickle boat tour. The operator, the guide, and the operation were fantastic. We managed to have a 4 person tour, and visited several places across the bay in the pickle boats. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Victoria. Took the earlier option so we could make it to our cruise ship in time.

Don’t Go on This Tour!! - This Victoria , BC tour was so disappointing!! The stops were not as indicated in the information provided at the time of booking. The information gave the impression that food and drink samples were included in this tour as part of this package for which we paid $130 for my husband and me. According to the information received, the second stop was supposed to be at Fisherman’s Wharf but it was not. The second stop was at Darcy‘s pub where the food sample was one dish of dry taco chips with a little bit of salsa for the five tourists in our group. (Waitress not very friendly). The third stop was supposed to be Songhees Walkway where we were to enjoy “a few small elegant bites and feel a little class…” Not sure where that was but it was not on our tour. Our third stop was at Fisherman’s Wharf but in order for our group to have enough pizza for the five tourists to sample we had to purchase eight drinks as a group. So my husband and I each bought two drinks so that we would (as a group) qualify for two small pizzas to share. The fourth stop supposed to be at Chinatown and the info provided said “let’s finish this tour off in the historical Chinatown walk-through narrow, alleyways past old brick Heritage buildings and see the beautiful Chinatown gate on our way to the last pub on the tour.“ None of this happened on the last leg of our tour as we went straight to another pub (Swan’s Pub) not even seeing anything in Chinatown There we were served a plate with 4 half pieces of dry bread with a small dish of bruschetta for five tourists. We had to ask for more and said there were five people in our group so they brought two more half pieces of bread. Really?! We felt as a group that the whole goal was to get tourists into bars to buy alcohol which at just about each stop staff were quick to get us all to buy. At each stop we had to order drinks which we found out at first stop that we had to pay for ourselves, drink them quickly so we could move onto the next stop. Jack, our tour guide was a nice enough fellow but we’re not really sure what his role was other than companionship. There wasn’t any type of presentation or tourism info provided or planned to present to the group. We spent $130 for a tour that gave us hardly anything to eat where we had to pay another $65 for drinks and tips. There was a couple from Australia in our group who we told that this all was not acceptable to us. They thanked us for saying that as they were thinking this was how things ere done in Canada. We are so disappointed and angry about the whole experience! I will be posting a review on TripAdvisor for people to avoid this tour at all costs!! We felt we were totally ripped off!
