4.00Victoria is wonderful. Down side of this tour was 3hours on a bus and 3 hours on the ferry. Almost 2 hours waiting on the ferry. 13 hour day was rough. Driver (Ed) was excellent, knowledgeable and straight forward

3.00Really enjoyed the gardens, but it felt like a lot of the day was spent on the bus and the ferry. Not sure these group tours are for me just yet.
