3.00Nice trip driver mark was lovely and gave us alot of information on bus Early starts and alot of travelling on bus and ferry .We then only got 2 hours gardens and 1.5 hours in Victoria which definitely was not enough time I do think travelling times and how long in each place should be on website Did not think trip was worth the money for what we got out of it
