Well organised and a long tour. The guide was very helpful. The ferry ride to Victoria was memorable as we for the first time travelled a huge ferry which was like a mini cruise ship. The gardens were the best we have seen.
Great Tour

Everything went very smoothly from beginning to end. Our driver, Tim, was incredibly knowledgeable, humorous, and resourceful; he gets a '6' out of 5. I would have loved more time in Victoria, and think I liked it better than Vancouver. Also, the Butchart Gardens was stunning. Lastly, I requested a 'date change' due to illness, and the Vancouver based tour company was more than accommodating.

We booked this tour as a post-cruise excursion and couldn't have been more pleased. The booking and communication with the tour company was seamless, and they picked us up at our hotel on time. Alex was our guide and did an outstanding job of communicating, introducing us to our tour mates, providing us with a lot of information about Vancouver and Victoria along the way. Alex was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to ride along with for the day. Would highly recommend this tour!
The place is Beautiful!!!...

The place is Beautiful!!! I can imagine the amount of time and work to keep those gardens. We visited in the beginning of May and the tulips and Azeleas were in full bloom!
Great day out on the island

It's a long day from the mainland, but really worthwhile. Our guide Alex was both entertaining and informative. Victoria is a very laid back, attractive city and Butchart Gardens is stunning.
