Unforgettable Tour to Victoria & Butchart Gardens with Hamed

My father and I recently took a full-day guided tour from Vancouver to Butchart Gardens and Downtown Victoria, and it was truly an unforgettable experience—made even better by our fantastic guide, Hamed. From the start, Hamed impressed us with his warm personality, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the area. He kept us engaged throughout the journey with a great mix of historical insights, cultural context, and light humor. The entire day ran smoothly, from the scenic ferry ride to the transportation between stops. Hamed made sure we stayed on schedule but still had enough time to explore at our own pace. Butchart Gardens was absolutely stunning, and Hamed gave a helpful introduction before we entered. In Downtown Victoria, we enjoyed visiting landmarks like the Parliament Buildings, the Fairmont Empress, and the Inner Harbour. What stood out most was Hamed’s attentiveness—he was incredibly considerate of my father’s mobility needs (he uses oxygen and a scooter) and made sure our experience was as comfortable as possible. He was patient, approachable, and clearly passionate about British Columbia. Highly recommend this tour—and if you get Hamed as your guide, you're in for a great experience!
Great Experience!!

We had a wonderful experience with Hamed today. He was both entertaining and very knowledgeable about Vancouver and Victoria. Hamed explained the history of the area. We could tell that he loves his job and his cities.
Best ever trip!

Hamed was very eloquent and started our day in a wonderful friendly way! Hamed is so very knowledgeable in all things Vancouver and Victoria, BC. Not only did he share his personal experiences in Canada but provided a lot of history of the places we visited. He also accompanied us to visit Butchart Gardens and answered so many of our questions. What a day! I feel we were lucky to have had him for our guide! We’ve made a new friend! 👏😊
Great guide and driver in Vancouver.

Our driver and guide, Ali Zaranji, was super courteous, very knowledgeable, and extra personable. We had to cancel and rebook at the last minute, and the company was very accommodating. We are happy to recommend their service for this day tour from Vancouver to Butchart Gardens and Victoria.
Bad is an understatement

Guide barely spoke English. Had obviously not guided at the sights he was taking us to before. He wanted to know everyone's exact age to enter Buchard garden, all they cared about was adult or child. We lost the day due to his lack of language and training. We never got to Victoria

Everything was amazing. This went BEYOND a tour. This became an experience, an unforgettable sequence of events and memories that will stick with us forever. The tour guides knew so much about the areas and even more about the intricacies of Vancouver and Victoria! We enjoyed the first one so much that we decided to do a second the next day. That’s how much we recommend this tour.
