Private Tour: The Most Meaningful Way to Experience Victoria, BC

At EV Tours, we believe the best way to explore Victoria, British Columbia is to make it personal.

A private tour isn’t just about transportation: it’s about having the space to connect with the culture, your local guide, and the people you’re traveling with. Whether you’re planning a day trip from Vancouver or already staying in Victoria, a tour designed around your interests creates a whole different experience.

Discover Victoria at Your Own Pace

When you travel with your own private group, every moment is yours to shape. Craving a warm pastry from a hidden local bakery? Feel like lingering a little longer by Victoria’s sparkling harbour? Or maybe your guide reveals a tucked-away spot you didn’t even know existed, and suddenly, it’s the highlight of your day. On a private tour, spontaneity and discovery are part of the adventure. Our local guides aren’t just drivers: they’re proud Victorians who love sharing the quirks, culture, and quiet beauty of this city in a relaxed, unscripted way.

What You’ll See on a Private Tour of Victoria, BC

Every tour is different, depending on your interests, but here are some favourite highlights:

🏛️ Inner Harbour

Start where the city comes alive. The Inner Harbour is full of energy in the summer, buskers, sailboats, and locals out enjoying the sun. You’ll see the Parliament Buildings, the Fairmont Empress Hotel, and can walk the waterfront path while soaking in ocean views.

🌸 Butchart Gardens

There’s a reason this is world-famous. The Butchart Gardens unfold across 55 acres of vibrant colour and carefully tended beauty. Surrounded by nature’s textures, fragrances, and shifting light, you feel a quiet sense of wonder. Even if you didn’t arrive as a gardener, you leave with a deeper appreciation for the simple power of being immersed in nature.

🏮 Canada’s Oldest Chinatown

Tiny alleys, bright lanterns, and layered history make this one of the most unique stops in town. Fan Tan Alley, narrow enough to touch both walls, is always a favourite. You’ll hear stories of the Chinese community’s deep roots in Victoria and browse small shops tucked away from the busy streets, each with its own character and charm. 

🌲 Beacon Hill Park or Mount Tolmie Lookout

Depending on your mood, we might suggest a walk-through Beacon Hill Park with its ponds and peacocks, or take you up to Mount Tolmie for sweeping views of the city and ocean. Either way, it’s a moment to pause and appreciate the land Victoria sits on.

☕ Unexpected Stops

Some guests love galleries. Some want a local coffee shop. Others find themselves curious about an Indigenous artist or a quirky vintage bookstore. Your guide listens, and when it makes sense, we add stops that fit your vibe
