Great tour guide & brand new, comfortable bus. Spent about 2.5 hrs in Victoria, but only 1.5 hrs at Butchart gardens. I wish it would've been 2 & 2 hrs each & felt like we were rushing thru the gardens. It was nice that it was an afternoon stop & most people were gone so it was easier to move around

We had a great time at Victoria and Butchart Gardens arranged by STAR Sightseeing. The shuttle coach is new and very comfortable and we traveled in small group (compared to other big coach). Our tour guide, Stephen, is excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable about Vancouver and provided very detailed information and history along the way. Our drive Sukhan is good. The whole trip went smoothly. I definitely recommend this tour.
