Let Surfside Adventure Tours collect you from your Downtown Victoria hotel for a festive 4.5-hour outing.

“Alan was a friendly, thoughtful and informative guide. Even though we had visited Victoria and Butchart Gardens several times before, we toured neighborhoods we had never seen, enjoyed astonishingly creative home Christmas light decorations that we would not have found on our own, and learned new things about the city. Highly recommended!”
