Craigdarroch Castle is one of the most famous sightseeing points in Victoria. Join this pedicab tour to see the landmark in a unique way! Your professional tour guides will take you to the Lt. Governor's grounds where Queen Elizabeth has stayed, past some of Victoria's oldest and largest churches, as well as inside the castle itself.
Craigdarroch Castle is an old Scottish baronial castle that sits atop Victoria's highest point. Built in the late 1880's for a wealthy coal baron, this castle displays the opulence of the late Victorian age. The castle is perched next to the Lt. Governor's grounds where Queen Elizabeth has stayed during her visits to Victoria. The stunningly remarkable gardens offer mountain views, a Japanese garden, Rhododendrons, a classic English rose garden and a myriad of West Coast garden scenes.
You will also visit Victoria's oldest and largest churches. The route passes by several character homes, offering guests a taste of Victoria's charm.
This tour is seasonal and only operates from February through to November.
Our guide and driver Gerry was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the area, and was a great story teller. He was punctual, passionate and funny. Gerry went above and beyond what we expected in order to give us a personal experience. _br/_ We highly recommend Gerry for this tour.

We enjoyed our pedicab tour to the castle however we were unable to tour the inside as it was closed, we were quite disappointed even though you had contacted them and their reply was, no worries someone will be there, it will be open. I had requested you ask since our ship would not dock until 5:30 p.m. and the earliest we could leave ship would be around 6 p.m. Our pedicab driver pulled up plan B and we did have a great tour of Victoria downtown and the government buildings. We plan to return next year and hopefully can find a castle tour that will get us there and into the castle....it is a beautiful building outside, gotta see the inside too!

Good tour. Recommended only 4 stars due to high price and guide trying to encourage us to pay for additional time/tour.

In addition to a personal tour of Craigdarroch Castle, a visit to the gardens surrounding Government House was spectacular. Walk at your leisure and smell the flowers, see deer, and sample the many herbs growing in the Herb Garden. The guide, Andrew, is most informative and makes sure you enjoy the tour. Highly recommended!!
