Excellent Tour - This was a very well run tour with an excellent guide and driver. The timing was right on and our guide made the experience relaxing. We enjoyed all the sites he pointed out along the route. We learned a lot about Vancouver and Vancouver island.

Mark was a wonderful tour guide - The gardens are beautiful! Victoria was nice. Would have liked more time there but not sure how that could work.

Amazing visit to Vancouver Island with a very knowledgeable tour guide - We booked this tour, knowing it would be a 12 hour day. The bus picked us up at our hotel (the Sutton Park) at 09.00 (exactly as stated on our booking). The guide introduced himself (Justin) and explained the itinerary for the day and the importance of timekeeping as we were booked on specifically ferries to and from the island. Justin provided a running commentary of very interesting facts as we passed locations. Justin gave us sufficient time at both Butchart gardens and the town of Victoria. The gardens were amazing (helped by the weather being warm and sunny). Justin made the whole tour fantastic. It did not feel like a 12 hour tour.

Wonderful trip to Victoria - One of the best excursions I have been on! Our guide and driver, Dan, was great! So interesting and informative, gave good recommendations too! Yes, it is a long trip, but one I would do again. Butchart Gardens is truly breathtaking and definitely a must see! Dan kept us informed of what was coming up so we didn't miss anything along the way.

A fantastic day tour - This tour was amazing and both of us would unconditionally recommend it if the guide was as good as ours - Justin from Whistler. This tour was chosen based on past recommendations, because it provided a timed itinerary and that the tour company was recognised as a local bus operator. However it was our tour guide Justin that made our day memorable. His commentary was extremely informative and covered everything from climate to local customs and cultures, including several amusing facts. We felt like we were friends by the end of the tour and he really did make a difference - his driving was excellent. It was a memorable day where we could relax . Thankyou.
