"Extremely relaxed and Richard accommodated the walking speed of my 83-year-old aunt. He engaged all four members of our group well. We loved all his facts and enjoyed getting to know him. For a first-time visitor to the island, this was the perfect tour."

"Richard met us in person at the cruise ship terminal in Victoria, and he escorted the accessible bus into the city. Three of our group were in wheelchairs. The tour had no stairs; we took breaks and really enjoyed our time with Richard."

"Richard provided the best guided walking tour I have ever had in Canada. His knowledge and communication are excellent. He pointed out breaks, water refills, and great pub recommendations. Who could give a better tour than a retired school teacher!"

"If you only do one thing in Victoria, make it this walking tour. Richard brought the history of Victoria to life with the kind of detail and warmth you simply cannot get from a guidebook."
