What is the best time of year to visit Victoria?
The best time to visit Victoria, BC, Canada is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is generally pleasant and warm. This is also when many festivals and outdoor events take place. However, if you prefer to avoid crowds and high prices, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and fall (September to October), when the weather is still quite enjoyable. Keep in mind that winters in Victoria can be mild compared to other parts of Canada, making it an attractive destination year-round for those who don't mind cooler temperatures.
Are there any age or fitness requirements for the tours?
All ages and fitness levels can be accommodated. Please let us know of any age or mobility issues at booking and we will be able to tailor your transportation or tour to make everyone safe and comfortable.
What are some must-see attractions in Victoria?
One of the wonderful things about Victoria is there is something for everyone. The most visited and iconic spots for tourists are Butchart Gardens and the inner harbor/ downtown area. Although one cannot discount Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle and Ogden Point.

Why do you use electric vehicles?
We believe in eco-friendly transportation and promoting green tourism to ensure your journey leaves behind only memories not a carbon footprint. We promote the reduction of environmental impact of tourism. We also understand that being green and eco-friendly also means being flexible and fluid and staying up to date with the latest research.
Another benefit is the quiet and smooth nature of electric vehicles, offering a more pleasant and serene touring experience without the noise and vibrations associated with traditional combustion engines. Also, EVs generally have lower operating and maintenance costs than traditional vehicles. This helps to have more competitive pricing for our tours.
While with us, please consider buying local products and services, such as food, souvenirs and tours that support the local economy and reduce the carbon footprint of goods transportation.
