4.00Butchart Gardens was fabulous and so was Victoria; however, the tour of Vancouver could have been eliminated as it made for a very long day and there was so much traffic. There was a little issue with our driver (Steven). Some of the customers didn't like his commentary and told him so. As a result, he acted angry at all of us. Instead of letting their comments roll off his back, I felt we were all punished on the drive back to our hotel. He stopped talking entirely and didn't give us any more instruction. Made for a very awkward ride back to the hotel.
