Ken picked 8 of us girls at the cruise terminal in a beautiful van and drove us to Butchart Gardens. Along the way and back he gave us a city tour and was very informative and funny at the same time. He even picked us up early and gave us extra time. He then dropped us off at the Empress Hotel. The gardens are very beautiful and worth the trip. I would totally recommend Ken as a tour guide.

Lovely Long Day
Our representative, Brent, was both an excellent driver and a superb guide. His instructions, local background knowledge and attention to detail were amazing. Victoria and Butchart Gardens deserve the superlative ratings and recognition they already get; but Brent ensured the tours of each were perfect - for both timing and content. The tour day is long, but well worth the time.

Best Tour EVER
Mark was on time and so friendly. The van held 11 people. He was very caring of everyone's comfort. It was comfy and window views were good. Mark had so many interesting stories. He was so knowledgeable and funny. The tour was around 5 hours. We even got to drive around in areas with houses. It was very cool to see real estate in Victoria. We had about 2 hours in Butchart Gardens. It was beyond beautiful and we didn't feel rushed. This was one of the best yours we've ever been on! Kudos!

Easy way to get to the Gardens
This was a great way to get to the gardens. My only disappointment was the pick up time. Their latest time was 4:30 and we didn't get dropped off until 2:40, so we didn't have enough time in the gardens. We ran late getting there because they let a dozen people buy their tickets late (after our scheduled departure time), so that took away precious time in the gardens.

Victory Island Tour
This is a full day experience. Expect a 45 minute ferry ride going both direction so take a book or something to keep you busy. The garden was beautiful and the downtown experience was fun.
