Great day! Knew it was going to be a long day - so just be get ready when travelling that much. Places and tour design is great! Loved the free time in Victoria. Host - Casey- talked us through all transfers, traffic, process and fun stories. (Even chicken trucks in parking area on the ferry on the way back - ha ha, can not be helped). Company went above and beyond to make experience great including smooth scheduling, reservations and adding another shuttle at the end of the day to get us all back to hotels quicker.Van_S
