Lovely day tour - It was a lively experience, we were in a mini bus with Joel and Mo. Joel, our tour guide was jolly, informative with a good sense of humor. We had a pleasant day, with seamless transitions on BC Ferry. The tour provided water bottles and umbrellas which was really helpful with rain that day.

An Elevated Experience indeed - Joel and Josen were great tour guides. Josen was very efficient at picking the best possible routes to get us to and from all our stops. Joel was very funny, had great energy and a wealth of information about our destination and much more. It was such a pleasure touring with them. I would definitely recommend them ! Thank you again for a great day. From Jasmine 😃

Amazing Victoria and Buchart Gardens experience - I had a fantastic time. We were well taken care of and every detail was considered and dealt with.
Joel was a great host and guide and made the tour very engaging and interesting. From the first interaction during pick up to the drop off I was treated like a family member. Made it for a very relaxing time. Mohammed who drove the bus was great as well. I didn’t have to worry about anything - umbrellas, water, charging cables, recommendations on what else to do during my stay in Vancouver - everything was thought of.
Thanks again. I will definitely book tours with your company in the future.

Buchart and Victoria tour - The journey is definitely part of it and for anyone that has t experienced a drive on boat ferry it is definitely interesting! Quality shuttle, clean and comfortable..Joe did well by keeping us informed to the sites and neighbors we drove through on the way…everyone was prompt on pickup and drop off..it was an all day excursion from 8am to almost 9pm but it was worth it so I didn’t have to deal with the all the logistics :)
Buchart was gorgeous even in the fall and wasn’t super busy, my native to Vancouver friend learned a few things too and Victoria was very quaint coastal town, although we spent most of our time at beacon hill park and the shoreline rock hunting on the beach! That was our choice though but Joe had his own walking tour of Victoria that we were not a part of so can’t say anything about that. They had some umbrellas to distribute as well but the real rain kept itself away most of the day with just some light sprinkles. Thanks again Joe!

Quick, but great visit to... - Quick, but great visit to Victoria. The Butchart Gardens were beautiful. Well worth the trip. Our guide, Joel, not only provided a ton of information, but also provided comedy. He and Mohammad, our driver, were so much fun. I highly recommend the tour.

Great trip but a long day - Victoria is very picturesque with historic buildings and a rich character. Butchart Gardens is a great experience, beautifully maintained gardens with good facilities. A great trip but a long day, around 13 hours overall with about two-thirds of the time spent on travel via coach and ferry.

A little unstructured - The Butchart Gardens were absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend visiting this location, even in October it was full of flowers and the trees had some color. The to/from Ferry were efficient and a pod of Orcas were see in the am crossing. I rating it 3 stars because the visit to Victoria City was too free form. We were dropped off at a central location and told we’re China was, the government buildings and the waterfront. The guide, Joe, said he was going to lunch on the waterfront if we wanted to walk with him. Too unstructured for me, Freeform for 3 hours in an area totally unfamiliar with, would like more info and plan. We stopped by Mile 0 and were told the story of the runner for Cancer, nice. Paulo was an excellent driver, provided water and shared info with us all.
