4.00I don't think the description of the activity is 100% accurate. There needs to be a better explanation of the itinerary and the amount of time on the bus. Nowhere was it stated that you had to take an hour bus ride to and from the ferry terminal. The amount of time at the Gardens and in Victoria was considerably less than mentioned in the description of the tour. Also -- our tour bus operator talked way tooooo much! Granted some information is appreciated but not for what was a 4-5 hour bus ride!
