Good if you want to cover Victoria & But hart Gardens. How ever Butchart is not worth seeing without the real flowers. Special mention to our coach driver Dave Rogers, his stories are amusing & amazing 🤩

We had an amazing time! Our tour guide was Alex and we had a beautiful experience. He made sure to tell us about everything as we went by it in the morning and we got to relax on the way back. Victoria itself is absolutely lovely, we had just enough time to do the Royal BC Museum, Munro’s books, a walk to China Town and made it back to see the parlement building. I suggest to eat on the ferry so you can enjoy Victoria to fullest. Next stop was Butchart Garden which was so beautiful during the winter light. Thank you Alex for memorable moment!

We went on a good day (no rain!) while visiting Vancouver for the first time. Leslie was our tour guide and he is filled with knowledge of the area! We enjoyed listening to him sharing information while bin the bus. The ferry ride was awesome! Big ferry and the food was surprisingly good! You had plenty of time to eat, relax and enjoy the view outside. Bundle up because it’s quite cold outside! We had about 1.5 hours to explore Victoria on our own before everyone regroup on the bus to the Buchart Garden in the late afternoon. The Buchart Garden was beautiful at night time with all the holiday lights and decoration. We want to thank Leslie for a wonderful full day tour!
