Beautiful and charming Victoria and Butchard Garden - The whole trip is so much enjoyable. Our tour guide Mark is so informative and I learned from him about different story of places about Vancouver and Victoria and also the Butchard Garden is so beautiful and charming. If I have given the chance to come back I. will still choose going to a trip with your agency. Thank you so much especially to Mark our tour guide for the whole day.

We Learned a Lot - Justin did a great job. He didn’t just tell us about the sights, he educated us on the history and current state of life in Vancouver and Victoria. It was a long day but he kept our interest and kept things fresh throughout.

Butchart Gardens day - Long way to the gardens, but an adventure, nonetheless. I didn’t read carefully enough about the duration of the trip. It was a pleasant bus ride to the ferry, back on the bus to the gardens. Pick up was 8:50am, made it to the gardens at 1:05 for 2 hours, then back on the bus to the ferry to town arrival at 9pm. Very nice day, and our driver was excellent!

The only reason this... - The only reason this wasn't five stars is because I wish we spent more time in Victoria. But honestly it was a great experience
