Amazing Garden
Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island is truly a breathtaking place and an unforgettable experience. The beautifully landscaped gardens, vibrant flowers, peaceful pathways, and stunning Sunken Garden show an incredible level of care and attention to detail. Every corner has something beautiful to discover, making it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy nature, and take in the scenery. A must visit destination on Vancouver Island.

Great attraction for the family.
Really nice activity to do, nice boardwalk trail to get to the tower, fun (easy) walk up and the netting & slide added a bit of excitement! Lovely place to stop for a coffee, and made even better when you pair it with breakfast at the incredible Villa Eyrie hotel.

Victoria magical food tour
Andy our guide was very knowledgable and very engaged. He loves the city, food and the community of restaurant and food shops owners. He was able to take us through the history and unique alley ways of China town always with some great stories great sense of humor and tasty food. It was one of the best tours we ever took….thank you Andy.

A smooth and enjoyable transfer from Victoria to Vancouver
Travellers are advised to be at the pick-up point 30 mins prior to departure which is needed as the checking of bags and loading commences then to enable on time departure. However, there is not sheltered waiting location which was not a problem on the day we travelled but would be if raining or snowing. The bus transfer to Swartz Bay to the ferry terminal was smooth, and we were the first heavy vehicle to board. Arrive on level 2 and passengers travel on levels 5 and 6. It is a pretty crossing past the Gulf Islands to the Tsawwassen terminal. The bus was first off the ferry and passengers going to the Vancouver Airport were transferred to another bus to be dropped off.

Amazing 2 hour tour of Victoria!
I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our short time in Victoria! John texted the day prior telling where to meet once we were off the boat. He arrived on time and did a complete tour of the city in 2 hours. He narrated the drive and had a slideshow with photos included. We saw several wildlife, took amazing photos, and felt like we learned a great deal about Victoria’s history. I highly recommend!!!

Amazing!
We had booked the half day tour and it was absolutely AMAZING!! This was my 4th time whale watching and was by far the best experience out of them all. We went out to a feeding area and were completely surrounded by around 50 humpback whales. It was the most incredible experience I’ve ever seen. On our way back we had also gotten the chance to see killer whales which was my absolute dream come true!! 1000000/10 recommend!!

Beautiful scenery, sightings of seals, eagles, orcas & humpback whales if lucky. Bonus having naturalists as crew.
You do need to wear warm clothes as it’s windy & cold when travelling to the sightings and nice to have warm drinks.
We were lucky to see a pod of orcas & 2 humpbacks, not every trip is so lucky. Having two naturalists on board sharing their expertise and stories is well worth the trip even if you do t see any whales.

Spooky fun!
Very fun spooky experience! Learned some history of the city as well as ghostly legends. We were in Victoria for a few hours with a cruise ship. This tour fit perfectly within our allotted time in Victoria. Great excursion for those who didn’t want to do the cookie cutter cruise excursions.

Exciting water thrill ride with some whales peeks
The ride on the zodiac is pretty exhilarating. It is bumpy and you could get pretty wet (though not soaked, so wallet and phone should be ok).
The whale watching is so-so since you are pretty close to the surface of the water. But we did see some whales from a distance.

A two hour sampling of Victoria's culinary diversity!
Vasi was our guide. Can't say enough about her! Knowledgeable, gracious, and shear delight. Loved her! Diversity of culinary selections was impressive. Sampling of food crossed regional boundaries, both locally and globally. The tour is well worth it. I give it my highest recommendation.

Highly recommended
Fabulous experience from checking in to the flight. Checking in was easy and comfortable lounge. Great staff helping us onto plan.
Flight was longer than we thought, starting at Inner Harbour and then flying over City. Only downside is if the pilot had pointed out things we were flying over but then we would have needed earphones.
Highly recommended

A wonderful food/walking tour
We had a wonderful experience with Brenda on this walking food tour. Brenda was exceptional, full of interesting information and very engaging with the group. The food was interesting, varied, as well as delicious. She took us to places I probably would not have gone to on my own, like Indian food, which was my personal favorite. Come hungry because we ate a lot of food! I highly recommend taking this tour.
