Wonderful day trip to Victoria! - My mum and I went on a tour to Victoria in Vancouver Island on Saturday March 9th. We had a very lovely experience thanks to our guide Gary Cheng. Gary was very prompt at responding to our queries before the tour started re pick up time and location. On the day he was perfectly on time and we were able to spot the bus right away thanks to his exact vehicle description. During the tour he was friendly, engaging, accommodating and informative, and made our tour very memorable. We highly recommend the tour and our guide Gary.

Probably OK if you speak Chinese and don’t want to experience the local dining or spend time in historic Victoria - I cannot recommend this tour at all. The itinerary for the trip was terrible and made no sense. It was a complete rip off for US$150 per person for 5 people. We arrived for pickup at 7AM and then spent well over 1.5 hours doing other pickups before heading to the ferry. This created a time crunch, so the driver was driving dangerously - going too fast and running through stop signs. The first stop after the ferry, Butchart Gardens, was lovely and the amount of time there was reasonable. We then drove to suburbia for lunch in the basement of a motel adjacent to a strip mall liquor store with no other reasonable options nearby other than fast food along a busy highway. After lunch, we drove through Chinatown, which we only saw through the bus windows. Why did we not eat here?! We also just drove through the harbor area to the mile zero marker, where stopped for a very quick photo op. We then drove back to the harbor area, but now only had 35-40 mins to get off the bus and explore. It would have been so much more efficient and enjoyable if we had gone straight to Chinatown after the gardens. Then we would have had 2-3 hours to actually eat a good meal and slowly wander from there to the harbor while exploring the area. Our driver/guide, Daniel, was kind and accommodating, but predominantly spoke in Mandarin and his English was not clear. This was advertised as a tour in English. Chinese was not even listed on the page we purchased from. What he did tell us in English, that I could understand, was mostly observational versus factual or historical. For example, pointing out schools and parks or reading signs of businesses (in English) as we passed.
