FAQ's

Are the pedicabs safe?

Yes, very safe. All the cabs are professionally manufactured by Main Street Pedicabs in Colorado, U.S.A. Safety features include disc brakes, seat belts and reinforced frames. Victoria is a very bicycle oriented town. On many streets, there are specially designed bike lanes. Guests constantly remark about how courteous drivers are towards cyclists and pedestrians.

The tour operator is proud to announce that they have a perfect safety record since they began operations in 2001.

Is there a motor underneath the cab?

Kevin was our tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! He showed us many of the city secrets, like the tea cup tree, and the fairy houses. The Government House grounds, and the Castle, were amazing to see from the back seat of the pedicab! We were also introduced to an awesome fish & chip place called Finest at Sea. We would gladly go again, and ask for Kevin!

Soren Russow was a phenomenal guide. Extremely friendly, personable and easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable and his role playing during the tour was fantastic. Our group feels he went above and beyond anything we have experienced on tours in other places. Soren is sincere and passionate about the tours which made our group feel at ease. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We did four hours and covered a LOT of ground. The price was fair and comparable to other excursions on the cruise. Soren is accomplished at photography and took some amazing pictures of our group. We highly recommend PediCab and further recommend requesting Soren as your guide.

Had an absolute blast with Soren and Julie. We had 3 couples. They took us around the residential areas to explore different trees and houses. We saw the worlds tallest totem pole. Soren played us a cool tune on a wooden instrument gifted to him. They told stories, showed us pictures. We saw the Lt Governor’s house and gardens, the Queen’s rose garden, the castle, Chinatown, Downtown stop at souvenir shop, and had a wonderful recommendation for dinner at the Commons. The trip is WELL WORTH the cost and highly recommended.

This was the highlight of our trip! We had an amazing time with our host, Julie, who was super friendly, loves people, and knew lots of important facts about Victoria that you'll miss if you stick to the inner harbor. We loved Julie's spirit, exuberance, and love for people. My wife and I hated to leave her when our tour was over because we felt like we'd made a friend after spending three hours with her. We visited James Bay, Govt. House & Gardens, Craidarroch Castle, a waterfront park, Chinatown, and downtown. If you're interested in a Pedicab Tour, call and ask for Julie. You'll have an absolutely wonderful time! Julie is the best!
