Too much time wasted

4.00The day is very long (about 12 hours) but with two round trips by ferry (3 hours in total), ferry that has to wait more than half an hour and sometimes an hour when it is late. The terminal is also a 40-minute drive from downtown Vancouver. The option should be given to take the ferry from 11 a.m. to 9 a.m. as required. On Vancouver Island, the distances are great and that's a long drive. Otherwise, the Butchart Gardens are very nice and the city of Victoria retains a slightly old-fashioned British charm. As it stands, travel is not very cost-effective even if it is valuable to have a guide driver.

5.00Got picked up at 9:30am and dropped off 12 hours later. 1.5 hour ferry ride each way, plus 30 minutes waiting to board is a big chunk of time, but the ride over flies by. Did the Butchart Gardens and Craigdarroch Castle, China Town and the wharf. All were worth the trip. Anthony our tour guide was knowledgeable, accommodating, and great communicator in making sure the day is what we wanted it to be. He’s been in Vancouver the vast majority of his life and done tours for years and it showed. Highly recommend, but clear your schedule for the day.

5.00Our day trip to Victoria Island from downtown Vancouver was so fun and seamless! Stefan our driver was timely, pleasant, so well read and such a wonderful personality. We were able to see Victoria Island, Craigdarroch Castle, fishermans wharf, Butchart Gardens., plus multiple drive by spots. Logistics were planned and executed to ensure the most of the tour. It was a long day time wise but never felt like it. Highly recommend this tour worth the cost. Actually for all that we did on the tour a great value.
