It was a great and well organized trip to Victoria. The tour guide was cool and awesome. She had guided us with the places and things to find around and was helpful and informative. Really recommend someone to travel with Grayline tours. Thank you.

Excellent guided tour to butcher garden and Victoria harbor today. Our guide Jessica was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic day in Victoria. We learnt about history, places and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide - Jessica was professional and friendly.

Andrea was AWESOME! She was kind, thoughtful, and took care of everyone on the bus. The trip was so fun. The gardens were blooming spectacularly. Here's a tip.. If you want to do high tea in Victoria, send them a note in advance to find out when you'll be there. Then you can make a reservation at the empress hotel or one of the other few places for high tea. You can also do high tea at the gardens. But it all needs a reservation... So fun and totally worth it!

Our guide Jessica was absolutely lovely and so kind to my young son. I have done this tour before and learnt so much new information from Jessica’s tour. She is so bubbly and would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to explore Vancouver Island.

Had a great time at Butchart Gardens. The grounds are beautiful. Downtown Victoria was also nice as well as the ride over on the ferry. Our guide Jessica was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and shared quite a bit of information on the ride to the ferry as well as about Victoria and Butchart Gardens. Would definitely reccomend this tour.
