Excellent trip. Butchart Gardens was worth seeing ( and we are not gardeners!). Our guide was with us the whole time . Our group got on well with each other ... the guide helped that happen. This trip is worth doing
wonderful trip. excellent , knowledgeable guide/driver Jason.
Be prepared for lots of idle time due to nature of trip eg waiting for ferries etc. Dependant on day you go some museums will not be open. All round much enjoyed . gardens were outstanding.
The trip was excellently organised, the tour guide was very well informed. Really good value for money
Our full day trip starting from our doorstep at the hotel until we were dropped off at the hotel was wonderful. We had the best tour guide. She knew everything---lots of helpful hints during our tour. Plenty of info on the entire area of Vancouver and Victoria. Best tour guide ever. We were traveling with a senior citizen so she was able to accomodate our special request. Also, while in the city of Victoria she mapped out stuff to see and do which helped to plan our time. Can't say enough; very professional company. So glad we chose Viator. Well worth the money.
Excellent, well organized and knowledgable guide,
Great trip. Brent our tour driver for the day was extremely informative and willing to assist passengers in any way.
This was a terriffic tour. Our driver, Jason, was outstanding. He was very informative and went out of his way to be helpful.
Fntastic tour everything worked like clockwork and a very knowledgable guide. What Fabulous Gardens everything I had read about them was good. Long day but excellent
The tour to Victoria and Butchart Gardens was excellent. The tour guide was knowledgable and informative. The trip from Vancouver to Victoria was very interesting, the trip on the ferry was very different from what I am used to. All in all a great day.
Our second visit to Butchart. It got better!!! Our guide was superb and made every effort to please everyone. He was very flexible.
