Sit and see the sights - Gordy was an excellent tour guide. It’s a very long day and the drive and ferry ride are a big part of the entertainment. Gordy certainly helped with that!

Victoria and Butchart Gardens tour with ferry from Vancouver with Dave Rogers - It was a long, but well worth it tour from Vancouver. Dave Rogers was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, and entertaining and funny. Operated all on time. Could use more time in Butchart. His restaurant recommendations in Victoria was excellent. Go to Fins.

Butchart Gardens Tour with Ferry - We had such a wonderful time on this tour. It was very interesting being on the bus and getting on the ferry. We don’t have this kind of stuff in the desert. Anthony our driver was awesome. He was so knowledgeable and told us a lot of interesting information. The gardens were absolutely beautiful. Then we went to downtown Victoria. The Empress Hotel and by the Parliament. Victoria was so beautiful with all the green trees. I would highly recommend this tour.

Comfortable but not enough tour time! - Yes it was comfortable tour. Pick up from hotel and drop back to hotel. Total about 13 hrs long day. Tour time for Bouchard Garden & Victoria is less than 2hrs. Not enough time, but long driving and ferry time. On the whole I was great!

Great tour with great driver! - This was a great tour and Bobby W, our bus driver/guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He gave us tips to maximize our time in Butchart Gardens and Victoria, food and shopping recommendations, and kept us on a tight schedule to assure we enjoyed the sights. We even saw wild peacocks and deer in Beacon Hill Park. It was a very long day, but well worth it!

It was a 13+ hour day... - It was a 13+ hour day with 3 hours of sightseeing. Didn’t get to really experience Victoria. The ferry going had been late but even if it had been on time, it was not worthwhile. Dave was a good tour guide.
