Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ogden Point Terminal, 185 Dallas Rd, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1A1 Canada
Begin with a short trek along the gorgeous coastline, and see some of the natural features and what lies underneath the ocean surface.
Enter one of Victoria’s oldest and friendliest neighborhoods—James Bay. You will see some of loveliest homes and gardens in town. Many of the homes were hand built and conform to the city’s heritage status bylaws by keeping the original character and colors of the 19th century.
As you roll through the community, a stop can be made at the oldest local grocer in town and supplier of arguably the best coffee and tea in town.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Carr House, 207 Government St, Victoria, British Columbia V8V 2K8 Canada
Stop at the Emily Carr House and find out more about one of Victoria's more famous (infamous) artists. If desired, guests can tour the museum, admission is by donation.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Beacon Hill Park, 100 Cook St, Victoria, British Columbia V8V Canada
Travel on bicycle paths and quiet lanes as you meander through Beacon Hill Park—the city’s green jewel. It features many gardens and flowering shrubs and trees including the Sun Dial Garden where more wedding photos are shot in town than anywhere else.
The peacocks will respond to the Pavlovian ring of the bicycle bell and will greet you in exchange for some organic barley seeds. Ask your guide to point out the Bald Eagle’s nest and take advantage of a photo op when you cross the medieval stone bridge.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Old Town, Victoria, British Columbia Canada
Leave the bliss of the park and enter into the spectacular inner harbour which includes the Legislative Buildings and the famous Empress Hotel. Then, head to the historic downtown core. The city comes alive when ships are in town and very often there will be street performers at every block.
Pass by many shops that are preserved in their original Victorian character and very wide sidewalks allow opportunities to
stop, take pictures or even venture in for a closer look. In a few blocks, the crowds will thin and you will experience the heart of Old Town.
This is some of downtown Victoria’s best locations and yet most visitors do not venture this far to experience it.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Victoria’s Chinatown National Historic Site, 500 Fisgard St., Victoria, British Columbia V8W 1R4 Canada
Pass through the Gates of Harmonious Interest and explore Canada's oldest Chinatown. Take a peek down Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest street in Canada, and time permitting grab a snack or souvenir from one of the local shops.
Duration: 30 minutes

This is a most enjoyable way to tour Victoria. Adrian & John were great peddlers and Adrian was so easy to communicate with, especially after we wanted to bring another couple along at the last minute. They gave interesting stories & information about the neighborhoods, parks and the downtown area and made sure we got some great photos. And the blankets they provided were sooo nice. I recommend this tour as a great way to learn what the locals know.

John Maccormack gave an extensive tour of Victoria that stopped at all the important locations. We had our own personal tour guide, who was extremely knowledgable. We went to areas that no tour bus would be able to go and covered Victoria well. His personality and friendliness made it our best excursion on our cruise!!

We had a fabulous Pedicab adventure with our guide Soren! He had a double pedicab which was able to comfortably accommodate our group of 2 adults and 2 kids. While it was a chilly day, we were warm and cozy under the blankets provided for us during our tour. That was a great touch! Us adults thoroughly enjoyed all of the history Soren was able to share with us, but he also made it entertaining and funny for the kids too! He stopped for our boys to get out play at the playground as well as see all the ducks and peacocks in Beacon Hill Park. Soren took pictures for us with his camera and was able to email them too us which thrilled me, because my camera was broken. Little touches lie this really make a huge difference in someone's experience. I highly recommend this tour, and Soren as a guide. Thanks for for helping us create wonderful memories!

Me and my family have been to many different places and done many different excursions and by far we all had the most fun on this pedicab we had the most amazing tour guide named Soren. Soren made our experience to Victoria amazing he is such a character he had the best stories and he was so funny and had so many facts and showed us all the best places in Victoria ! we did an hour ride and paid $180 we had 4 people in our group. We could have easily have been on there for a couple more hours. We never felt like we were being rushed or anything we took our time. We were never cold at all throughout the whole ride our tour guide Soren made sure we had a blanket and a wind breaker blankets. We were back on our cruise boat at the right time no problem! Soren took lots of pictures for us and made sure to get all the best stuff in the pictures and all the best angles! We absolutely loved this pedicab ride if we ever go back to Victoria we will 100 percent be asking for Soren. If you ever get the chance to go on this pedicab ride do it and if you can make sure you get the amazing tour guide named Soren !

Juli, our tour guide, has an amazing depth of information on the neighborhoods, homes, and history of the area. At our request, she took us to Craigdarroch Castle. On the way there, we learned about the neighborhoods, originally all farm land, historic houses, and had a stop for coffee and treats at a local shop. Juli then provided us a guided tour of the castle. Made for a great day. Well worth the time and money.

The day our ship docked in Victoria was unseasonably cold and windy, and we wondered if a pedicab could even be operated in such weather. But John met us at the dock with blankets (handmade by his grandmother!) that kept us warm the entire time. The 3 hours flew by as we visited historic neighborhoods & homes, parks, gardens, downtown, and various places with amazing views. John was very personable, entertaining us with interesting stories and history along the way and at each stop. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria!

Victoria was our last port day from our 11 day Alaskan cruise. We decided to walk into the downtown but were starting to get a little tired so we made a quick decision to try out the Pedicab! So glad we did! Paige was a delightful tour guide who took us to some places we probably wouldn’t have seen if we continued walking! Beacon Hill and 0 mile and Emily Carr’s house and some interesting stories about each place as well as a relaxing tour in a sweet bike cart! Paige dropped us off at Finest at Sea close to the ship where we enjoyed the best halibut and fries ! Thanks Paige for your interesting tour! So nice to have met you!!
