“The tour started right at the pier, and our guide Linda was punctual, greeting us with a sign displaying our name. When we expressed interest in the Castle, she recommended visiting it first since it was located away from the gardens. We also saw the tallest totem pole and a lovely park featuring Sequoia trees. The highlight was the Butchart Gardens, which were truly stunning. Linda was well-informed about the town and shared plenty of insights during our drive. The van was comfortable and offered booster seats for children when necessary.”— Joanne_E
