Excellent day out. Easy and convenient trip to Vancouver Island and plenty of time allowed to explore the city of Victoria and most importantly, the phenomenal Butchart Gardens. Best features: comfortable mini-bus, small group, friendly and enthusiastic guides. Highly Recommended. No better way to visit Victoria & the Butchart Gardens.

Great tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and relentlessly enthusiastic. Definitely a "keeper". The Gardens are a high point, but the overall experience is well worthwhile.

Tour guide was very informative about sights both to, in and from Victoria. In fact she was the best of all the tour guides we had both in Alaska and Vancouver.

Our tour-driver was fantastic, full of interesting info. Victoria definitely should not be missed. The Parliament Building was wonderful. Although the British Columbia museum was very interesting, we didn't have time to do it justice. The Butchart Gardens was the highlight of this tour for me-definitely shouldn't be missed.

Well worth the money. Coach and ferry journey gives you the chance to see why Vancouver Island is a must-see. Butchart Gardens were magnificent even though it was the start of autumn. Our tour guide was informative and funny with his commentary throughout the tour. Can thoroughly recommend doing this trip.

Fantastic day tour, picked up on time from hotel. Tour guide entertained non stop for full trip explaining various sights with comical stories, going out of his way to show sights off the beaten track. Ferry boat was great, had great buffet meal both ways for 22 dollars each way. Victoria was really good, and the gardens amazing. Picked up about 7.45am dropped off about 9.00pm, one really enjoyable day.

This tour was fantastic and we both loved it. We can't say enough about our tour operator, she was the best and made it so much better by leaving a bit earlier so we could have more time over there. Have recommended it to other travellers.

It was excellent. We were even picked up from the hotel 10 minutes early which meant we got the early ferry and had an extra hour in Victoria. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Vancouver.

Wonderful day! The bus to the ferry, plus the ferry ride, were long but fun. We met some really nice people to talk to. Victoria is a beautiful city to explore. Out tour guide was the best, and she was organized and had lots of information to help us get the most from the trip. We very much recommend this tour.

Excellent value for money. Our guide was fabulous, knowledgeable, fun and went the extra mile. Worth doing the tour to have a guide like her. She made us feel 'special' and that was the impression we are sure all her other passengers would have received as well.
