5.00Bobby picked us up in Vancouver after our Alaskan cruise and took us to visit Victoria. He made getting there an easy process and we were able to spend enough time visiting the gardens and having high tea at the Empress, which were top things on our list. We also got to see the castle, Chinatown and the general area. We decided to stay overnight instead of going back to Vancouver that evening, and he made arrangements for us to get back via the bus/ferry connector. Very polite and nice.
Kudos are in order!

5.00Our guide, Bob, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about sites of interest and other information we wanted to know about the Victoria/ Vancouver area. He made the tour for our multigenerational group a great experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.
