Wow! What an amazing day we all had with Darwin... We where a party of 4 and couldn’t fault any part of the day... His tour is well planned out so we missed all the crowds so where able to see everything comfortably. His knowledge of the area is fantastic and he was able to answer all our questions. Darwin and his tour are so good we are going back to victoria next July on the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship and hoping to book him again. We wanted to go to bath and body works shop as we don’t have one in the uk and he even managed to fit that into our day without missing out any of our tour! Darwin you are simply the best guide in victoria Thank you for a great dayHeatherNCalgary

This was our first time having a Private Tour of any location we’ve visited… and thanks to Darwin, my children and I got to experience Victoria in a spectacular way! From the introductory call we received to customize our itinerary the week before our tour right through to the very end of our exciting full-day tour adventure, Darwin created a highly memorable and enjoyable experience for all of us :) His detailed knowledge of the area coupled with his down-to-earth nature, sense of humour, and authentic passion for having his guests experience a joy-filled day is amazing. You definitely can’t go wrong booking Surfside Adventure Tours if you want to remember living a special time in Victoria!! Much appreciation to Darwin for a wonderful time that we won’t soon forget.Terri_R

I booked this tour for an 8 hour day trip around Victoria. We were hooked up with Darwin from Surfside Adventure Tours. Excellent host and driver. He customized our trip to accommodate all the things we wanted to see while in port. He was also very helpful with one of our guest who required alittle extra assistance in and out of the van. His knowledge of Victoria was amazing and he took us to many sites that most don't get to see. I highly recommend this group tour. Thank you Darwin for an excellent time.
