Our tour guide Linda was amazing!! She was an expert in everything Victoria. When we let her know that no one in our group had been to Victoria before, she came up with a plan for us to see the highlights. We toured the downtown area, Fisherman's Wharf and Chinatown and visited Craigdarroch Castle. She brought us to Mt Doug so we could see the amazing panaramic views of the San Juans Islands and the coast of Washington state. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so we couldn't see the Olympic Mountains or Mt Rainier but the view was beautiful anyway! She brought us to Butchart Gardens and allowed us to tour for as long as we wanted. We spent about 1 1/2 hours and saw most of the Gardens. Linda provided a great tour of Victoria and the history of the area!! All six of us were pleased with the tour and would highly recommend it!!

Since we arrived and departed via ferry, we were limited on our time. But our guide, Melanie, stayed flexible. We were most interested in Butchart Gardens and spent all of our limited time at the gardens. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, and while we spent all of our limited time there, we could easily have spent considerably more time. The roses were in full bloom, and the rose garden itself can mesmerize you for an hour or more, but there is much more than that to see and experience. A must stop for anyone on the island!

There is nothing better than having a local show you around this beautiful city. Thank you Melanie for sharing your Victoria with us!

Linda had soooo much knowledge of the Victoria area and shared it in her gentle style. We recognized several of the areas of Victoria that she took us to later in the evening when we went on a water taxi pub crawl. Very fun Victoria experience.

Melanie was great travel guide for Victoria especially at Butchart Gardens. She's an Island girl knowledgable about not only city but entire island. Enjoyable afternoon

Linda was the fabulous tour guide. Catered to our every whim. Very knowledgeable and was able to give us a real feel for the history of Vancouver island. Butchart gardens are awesome. Our favorite was the Rosegarden which we went around about three times. You gotta stop and smell the roses.

Linda treated us to an extensive tour of Victoria. We had a wonderful time enjoying all the history and views she shared with us. At Buchart Gardens she collected a scooter for me and helped with reservations for afternoon tea. The gardens were amazing!!! She even answered questions after the tour for a wonderful dessert. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone,

Linda was a great tour guide and even messaged us before we arrived to welcome us and share some valuable information! We had a very memorable tour of Victoria. Linda was waiting for us at the ferry terminal with a sign when we arrived and dropped us back on time for boarding. We traveled in a comfortable and spacious transit van as she shared historical facts along the way. We enjoyed seeing the Butchart Gardens, various historic landmarks, Fisherman's Wharf, Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle, and Chinatown. We also had a lovely lunch and ice cream at the gardens and got some nice souvenirs from the gift shop. I would highly recommend this tour; it was truly an unforgettable experience. I hope to return to Victoria again!

Linda picked us up promptly at cruise ship even though we were delayed getting off Vsl. Took scenic route to Butchart Gardens, always conversing with us with questions answered, so personably. Drove through Victoria, stopped at Craiggarroch Castle, to scenic overlook, along water front and downtown. I would highly recommend this tour. Comfortable vehicle, just a great experience

Our guide Linda, a local, customized the trip for us since we were the only ones on that tour. After a bit of conversation, she understood what we had already seen and what we liked and customized the tour for us. Very congenial and full of local knowledge. Thank you Linda!

Great day with Linda as our guide around the city of Victoria. Very kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. She made sure we saw what we were interested in, got us inside the gardens and gave us a lot of historical insight into the area. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you want a highlight tour of Victoria.

We loved our tour with Mark -- he picked us up promptly from the cruise terminal at the specified time. He was very patient, informative, and wise to stop at Beacon Hill Park to let the kids run around and get their wiggles out. Mark even brought bird feed that he shared with the children to feed the peacocks. He showed us the sights of Victoria (Fisherman's Wharf, Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle) on our way to Butchart Gardens, then let us peruse the gardens at our leisure before picking us up and showing us Chinatown/Fan Tan Alley. We concluded our tour with a special request -- a stop for Beaver Tails -- and Mark was happy to comply. We enjoyed that the tour was customized and more cost-effective than if we had done a port excursion through the cruise line: win-win! Thank you Mark!

These gardens were AMAZING. We had 2 hours plus to explore them on this tour. Linda was punctual picking us up at our hotel. She brought us to an organic coffee shop for my daughter and was very personable. She also gave us a nice overview of the city.

Linda met us promptly at our ship. She suggested taking us first to the gardens which meant we were there before any of the motor coaches from the ship got here. No crowds at all. when we were finished at the gardens we then toured the Butterfly display and a wonderful tour of downtown. Linda is a wealth of information and went out of her way to make sure everyone in our group saw and did what they wanted to do and see. I highly recommend this company!
