5.00Mark was a great guide... Fab story teller for sure! And took us around town extra on the way back to our ship. And the price was much better than what ships offer. And Colleen was very aware of ship docking times, etc.
Beautiful Butchart & Victoria!

5.00A wonderful day incorporating a Victoria City Tour with a visit to Butchart Gardens. Tyco was an excellent guide…well versed in the history, sites, culture, beauty of Victoria. He incorporated tourist sites with lesser-known neighborhood points of interest, and made several interesting stops. His information about timing, garden history & sites, recommendations, & return plan were all spot-on. We totally enjoyed this visit & tour. Do not miss these gardens and enjoy lovely Victoria for a few days!
This is the one if you have limited time.
