Fantastic excursion! - Highly recommend this full day excursion to Victoria and Butchart Gardens. Rene, our tour guide for the day, promptly picked us up at the designated pick up area. Rene was funny, informative and engaging! Victoria and the Gardens is not to be missed if on a visit to Vancouver. We highly recommend using Discover Canada for your Canada based tours and would use them again for our travels to Canada!

Best Guide Ever - Byron drove our group and gave us excellent information on everything—history, what to expect, where to eat, etc. He went above and beyond. The gardens were beautiful and I would welcome the chance to go to Victoria again. Such a cool town!

Take the tour, ask for Byron - Byron was out tour guide, and he did an AMAZING job! He shared lots of revalent information about the sights we were seeing and the sites we were visiting. He even had restaurant recommendations for us! The tour itself was great, and Buchart Gardens in June was beautiful. But Byron made everything better.

A great experience - This is an all day excursion so buckle up! Kim was great - knowledgeable about the area and didn’t just share stuff you can find on Wikipedia. We made the earlier ferry so we got an extra hour in Victoria. The city is wonderful to explore and soooo easy to navigate. Butchart Gardens is such a great way to end the day. It’s so beautiful and peaceful, even with all the tourists. So many places to sit and be inspired or meditate. Highly recommend this tour and with Kim! She’s witty and helpful…even had a charger to borrow for my iPhone. You won’t be disappointed!

Kim Tastic!! - Kim was not only friendly and knowledgeable, but funny and engaging. She was obviously a subject matter expert on Vancouver, Victoria, and Buchart Gardens where she worked for many years. She provided a personalized tour of Victoria as well as a unique perspective on the Garden tour which made it an experience to remember. On top of all of that she is an excellent driver.

Beautiful Day with Byron - The tour was great! Listening to the guide made sights more interesting, & we loved the time to wander around Victoria. The gardens were amazing! Looking at the traffic and parking throughout the day, we kept saying how glad we did the tour and didn’t drive ourselves!

Lovely places - This was a really good trip. However, our visit to the Butchart Gardens was shorter than expected. I would have much rather had more time in the Gardens and less time in Victoria. Our guide, Denzo was thoughtful and helpful. He should be encouraged to use the microphone more often because we who were at the back of the bus missed some of his valuable insights.
