While there is a lot of walking on this tour it was broken up by relaxing rides on the ferry back-and-forth and our driver, Rodrigo, provided interesting and light hearted commentary and clear instructions on what to expect.
Great but too many hours traveling

Great day trip but travel time including waiting was very long - 5 hours from 7:30am pick up time to Victoria arrival 12:30pm. Spent 2.5 hrs in Victoria downtown then 30 min drive to Butchart Gardens where we had 2 hrs. Left at 6pm and got dropped off at 9:30pm.
