Our trip to Vancouver Island had a few mishaps such as boarding the ferry being delayed due to some malfunction, but the wait was more than compensated by the wonderful day we had. Victoria was a lovely city to visit, but the visit to Butchart Gardens was breathtaking. We will always remember the beauty of the flowers and would have spent much longer there given the chance. Should we ever visit the west coast of Canada again a day at Butchart will certainly be on our itinerary. Thank you so much for adding so much to our trip. Pamela Lewis

Great day.Driver /guide was excellent in every respect. Plenty of time in Victoria. Ferry was more like a cruise. Everything to time.

Driver outstanding; personable good humor, useful information. Pricey, but worth it especially with our limited schedule. Will recommend. Gardens a real plus.

What an awesome day this was, great weather, wonderful tour group (Landsea), fabulous tour guide (Auben...spelling?) and beautiful scenery!!! The drive to the ferry was very imformative and entertaining. The ferry ride itself was awesome, very pretty. We spent 3 hours in Victoria, which I found to be a good amount of time, we did not feel rushed in what we were doing. Victoria is a beautiful city, lots of flowers, nice water front, very picture worthy. We then headed to Butchart Gardens. We spent 2 hours there, again just the right amount of time for us to see all of the park. Very very pretty, the flowers, trees, and fountains are fabulous. The return ferry trip to the mainland was awesome again, as this time it was at sunset. Nothing nicer than sunsetting over the Mtn's and reflecting on the water below. I would definitely do this tour again, the money for me was well worth it, and I would reccommend it to others full heartedly.

Excellent. Very well run tour, actually arrived at my hotel prior to pick up time. Guide was informative and helpful. Highly recommended. Made enquiries with the sea plane company and they took a week to get back to me (after I had left the country). Go the bus tour.

Great trip! The tour bus was right on time to pick us up at the hotel. Everything else worked like clock work. It's a long excursion, so make sure to be ready for a busy day. We wished we would have gone to the BC museum in Victoria. We had 4 hours in the city and would have had the time to see everything plus the museum. The gardens were unbelievable. The time there was just right. Very enjoyable day excursion.
