It was such a treat to have our driver meet us holding our name on a sign, easy to find after leaving our ship and quickly start on our day. Vehicle was comfortable. It was nice to be able to stop when we wanted to and have the tour stops be tailored to our needs. We were available to get ahead of the big tour groups and had some time at the gardens before the bigger crowds of people started to arrive. Nicer for taking photos in this incredibly beautiful location. Every turn offered breathtaking views to be marvelled. It was nice to have someone who had local knowledge and passion for the beautiful place they live. It was nice to finish our tour with a local stop for prime seafood in a relaxed street side setting. It was a very short walk back to the shop from there. Great day in Victoria. Very proud to be Canadian.
Definitely go to Butchart...

Alan was an excellent tour guide. He was accommodating for our private tour starting with Buchart Gardens which was spectacular! Everyone should visit this exquisite property that is perfectly planted and manicured. Alan then took us to Victoria where he showed us China Town, the harbor, Craigdarroch Castle, the Empress Hotel, and the beautiful city park. We even fed the peacock! We would highly recommend this tour with Alan.
