      Tour suspiciously canceled night before.
      Tour canceled the night before scheduled day. Was contacted a few days beforehand asking if we could switch days due to needing 4 people minimum for tour. Contacted again saying that another couple signed up for our day. Then night before they said tour guide called in sick. I can't say for certain but sounds like guide may have just bailed out due to it not being a full tour. After all, their tips would make up a large portion of the money they make on a trip. Disappointed. We have signed up for two wine tours thru TripAdvisor, and they have both been canceled by a "sick" tour guide.

      Highly recommend!!
      The team at Canadian Craft Tours was amazing to work with. They did an excellent job of transporting my staff to and from our holiday party so everyone could enjoy themselves with no worries about driving. Our driver, Colin, was awesome! He was flexible, helpful, accommodating and made the trips easy and fun.

      Wine Tour
      Our tour guide, Kim, was awesome! I’d highly recommend this tour and ask for Kim specifically! We went to three wineries which felt like the right amount as well.

      Zoph Peluso, our guide, was kind, knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating to our small group. We felt like we were on a private tour. We visited some incredible wineries and met some great people. Would highly recommend! Zed was the best, love them!

      Victoria wine tour with Marco!
      The wine tour was great. We experienced 3 different vineyards with their new up and coming wines. Each one different from the next. Our tour guide (Marco) was also great fun, knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Wine tour was good but not great. The tour guide was fine, didn’t add much but drove us around. For the first hour on the bus there was a heater in the back blowing the hottest air on us which was later fixed. The first winery (Cherry point) we went to was very nice and the owner told us a lot about wine but the tasting were much too small. The second place (enrico) we went to was excellent, great portions, music and very friendly staff. The last place (unsworth) we went to was very sleepy, would not go back to the first or third again.

    Hopefully they start taking people to new wineries in the future.

    Booking the wine tour was super easy, communication and follow up was outstanding! The shuttle driver/tour guide was incredible! Super knowledgeable and passionate! She didn’t invade our space but was always withen an arms length for help or answering questions. Although we didn’t have the best experience at one of the wineries, the guide continued to help us in any way she could and made the absolute best of the situation and got the mood lively again. Highly reccomend booking with Canadian craft tour! You will not be disappointed with their dedication to customer experience and communication!

    Marco was our guide and he was simply the best. His knowledge of the area and the vineyards we would be visiting was exceptional. A guide can make or break a trip - he definitely "made it" for us. We departed promptly, never felt rushed, and learned a lot! It was a great day and I highly recommend taking this tour with Canadian Craft. Next time we'll visit the breweries.

    My wife and I went on this tour and had a great time. The van was on time and was very comfortable for our journey from Victoria to Cowichan Valley. Our tour guide Colin did a great job driving and chatting about the wineries we were to visit. We were a small group of seven, and we got to know a great group of people from around North America. We stopped at 3 wineries, and had lots of time at each. First up was Averill Creek, very nice facility and very nice Pinot Noir to try. A very nice charcuterie and cheese board was served at the second stop as lunch (Unsworth). Last stop was Cherry Point, not to missed! We learned a lot from the owner, who is very passionate about his wines! Highly recommended tour!

    We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide, Colin Hawes! His extensive knowledge and excellent recommendations for Victoria truly enhanced our trip (his dinner recommendation was specacular!)

    The tour was intimate with only ourselves and another couple. Our favorite stop was Cherry Point Winery, and the views at Blue Grouse were breathtaking, even in the rain. The charcuterie lunch was delicious, and the tastings at each winery were exceptional. Highly recommend this tour!

    A wonderful afternoon spent touring 3 great wineries in the Cowichan Valley. Our tour guide Paige shared some very interesting history about Victoria….red light district, opium trade…who knew!!!! She was very attentive and spent time chatting with us at the wineries. A very high energy and positive tour guide.

    Tour guide Amanda was friendly and personable. The entire group got along famously, which certainly added to the enjoyment of the tour.

    We visited 3 wineries:
    Unsworth
    Enrico
    Blue Grouse

    Lunch at Enrico was light an tasty. The wine flights were excellent examples of local wines. Prices at the wine shops were reasonable.

    A must at the Blue Grouse is
    their special slushy. You'll never go back to any other after this one!

    A fun day I would love to repeat next trip to Victoria.

    First time in Victoria and decided to do a wine tour. Easy booking via phone and really easy to find the pick up place. Cam our guide was lovely and interactive and managed to make it a wonderful wine tour despite the weather. We ended at Blue Grouse winery where the weather cleared up and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenic views to its full extent. Thanks again Cam for the wonderful time!
