Our tour guide was Mark. He showed us all around San Fransisco and had so much info to give us. Our tour took us to the Butchart Gardens, which was so beautiful and amazing. We also stopped in Sausalito for lunch or shopping. I would recommend this excursion 10/10

Wonderful tour and our tour guide Mark was very knowledgeable of the area and has lots of great information to share. Were very pleased and had enough time at our stops.
Todd_H, May 2026
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and had great stories. Very informative and he provided great advice to see Butchart garden in the time allotted, even allowing time for very good Gelato. The tour was good, but I was hoping we’d get to jump out of the van at most locations just for a few quick pics and this only happened at 2 spots unfortunately. Overall a good tour and I do recommend it if you want an overview of the sites and history, along with a comfortable ride to Butchart gardens.

Relaxing tour of Victoria city with a stop of the amazing beautiful Butchart gardens. Guide was funny, knowledgeable and accommodated requests to see some particular spots in town. There was enough time to visit the gardens and have a coffee. Small group experience (10) which is always better.

Fabulous, interesting, very comfortable. Mark is quite knowledgeable and has great stories. A safe driver, funny, and caring.
Chad_S, May 2026
Our tour was an easy pick up at a motel near the cruise port. Mark was an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge. We toured the city and then went to the beautiful gardens. 2 hours was plenty of time at the gardens. We had extra time on the way back so we did some more touring of the city. I highly recommend this company and Mark for a tour.

If you get a chance to go to Butchart gardens go! The city tour along with the drive to the gardens and back was very informative with lots of narrative by the tour guide who was excellent.
