We took the Sprinter van with only 6 passengers, and we couldn't have had a better time. Support local business!

5.00We had a fantastic time with Ken. He gave us a great tour of Victoria, the public buildings, China Town, and Bouchard Gardens. Ken picked us up just outside the terminal, and took us back to the place. Our tour included the Admission to the gardens. Ken gave us the history of Victoria.
Great tour! Highly recommend!
