Great experience and lots of fun with Scott! Got to check out three Vancouver craft breweries. Experienced different types of beers and food. Was cool to be a tourist in our own town and enjoy being driven around to the various locations. Highly recommend!

We were lucky enough to get a Saturday wine tour at short notice due to others changing dates ????. The trip was well organised with 4 excellent wineries visited, each with their own unique speciality wines. Our host Marianne had great knowledge of the area and allowed us to take our time where needed. Exceptional service and quality for the day .... would highly recommend to others.

This was a fantastic way to see some of downtown Victoria from someone who lives and loves what he does - Andy lives right down by the harbour/Chinatown and knew so much about the area. Stops were each unique and places we’d seen on our previous strolls but hadn’t considered going in! COVID protocols followed and while not necessarily good for business, the smaller group made for a very personal experience - 5/5!

Our group would never have thought to throw axes at a target, but we did and it was really fun. Along with stopping for appys and drinks at two pubs, a fun way to spend a couple of hours together. Our host John was great.

Many cruise ship tours arrive later in the day. If the sunlight is gone, one of our most popular activities is this excellent pub tour. There are numerous pubs on Vancouver Island. They are home to tasty beers, good food and a friendly dose of local colour. Come on out and enjoy a pint! Our limousine seats 8 comfortably and is a great way to get around. Or if the gang is all here our 20 passenger vans will fill the bill. Departure time is flexible and reservation seating at pubs is arranged by us.

Inclusions: We will arrange reserved seating at the pubs.

Exclusions: Drinks, Food and drinks, Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase)

With a cancelled vacation due to COVID, we thought this would be fun for the family to take a limo tour of our own ‘back yard’. Keith was down to earth, right on time, and it was a fun experience for the family!
