    Joel and Josen were great tour guides. Josen was very efficient at picking the best possible routes to get us to and from all our stops. Joel was very funny, had great energy and a wealth of information about our destination and much more. It was such a pleasure touring with them. I would definitely recommend them ! Thank you again for a great day. From Jasmine 😃

    The journey is definitely part of it and for anyone that has t experienced a drive on boat ferry it is definitely interesting! Quality shuttle, clean and comfortable..Joe did well by keeping us informed to the sites and neighbors we drove through on the way…everyone was prompt on pickup and drop off..it was an all day excursion from 8am to almost 9pm but it was worth it so I didn’t have to deal with the all the logistics :) Buchart was gorgeous even in the fall and wasn’t super busy, my native to Vancouver friend learned a few things too and Victoria was very quaint coastal town, although we spent most of our time at beacon hill park and the shoreline rock hunting on the beach! That was our choice though but Joe had his own walking tour of Victoria that we were not a part of so can’t say anything about that. They had some umbrellas to distribute as well but the real rain kept itself away most of the day with just some light sprinkles. Thanks again Joe!

    Quick, but great visit to Victoria. The Butchart Gardens were beautiful. Well worth the trip. Our guide, Joel, not only provided a ton of information, but also provided comedy. He and Mohammad, our driver, were so much fun. I highly recommend the tour.
