This past year has been rather drab with all the restrictions and laying low that has been dragging on and on. Erika changed all that for me and my bubble. She easily curated a perfect day of fun and adventure based on who we are and she was an amazing facilitator the whole time. I have not had a day of that much fulfillment in along time and I have never had a day of that much fun that was so effortless for me. twofiveo does the work. Thanks for the wonderful lifetime memory!

This tour is your best event for wine tasting from Victoria BC. Voted top Victoria Tours on both facebook and tripadvisor.

Exclusions: Gratuities, custom pick up at hotels

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 loved our tour with Mark -- he picked us up promptly from the cruise terminal at the specified time. He was very patient, informative, and wise to stop at Beacon Hill Park to let the kids run around and get their wiggles out. Mark even brought bird feed that he shared with the children to feed the peacocks. He showed us the sights of Victoria (Fisherman's Wharf, Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle) on our way to Butchart Gardens, then let us peruse the gardens at our leisure before picking us up and showing us Chinatown/Fan Tan Alley. We concluded our tour with a special request -- a stop for Beaver Tails -- and Mark was happy to comply. We enjoyed that the tour was customized and more cost-effective than if we had done a port excursion through the cruise line: win-win! Thank you Mark!
