5.00Great experience. Highly recommend. Meet the bus in front of the empress hotel. The driver gave an outstanding narration as we drove to the gardens. Just jumped on the bus on the return and our other driver did equally as well on the return. Very nice people.

5.00Sarah, our bus driver, was the best. She delivered a lot of information and in a very enjoyable manner. We were lucky enough to have her going to and back from the gardens. The gardens are a must see with spectacular bursts of color and beautiful fountains. The restaurant was charming.

5.00Actually enjoyed the trip to and from the Gardens with the entertaining and informative narratives of Rob and Emily. The bus is very comfortable with easy viewing of the sights along the way. We enjoyed the flexibility of the hourly departures from the gardens letting us tailor our stay to the exact length we desired. I highly recommend this tour.
