Reviews
This was an excellent experience. We took a day trip from Port Angeles via ferry to visit Butchart Gardens and other attractions. We didn’t want the hassle of following a shuttle schedule, and this arrangement worked perfectly. Linda collected us at Fisherman’s Wharf and provided an engaging tour, highlighting interesting sights and pausing for us to explore. She was insightful and adaptable with the itinerary to meet our interests. Although guided tours at Butchart Gardens were not allowed, she joined us at the entrance for some photos and shared tips on exploring the gardens. After our visit, she picked us up, pointed out additional sights, and dropped us off. It was a fantastic day, and I highly recommend her services.
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.
This tour was excellent. The van was comfortable, and the driver/tour guide was very helpful. She provided us with plenty of information about the area and tailored the day to meet our requests.
Victoria is a gorgeous city with plenty to explore. We had a wonderful day guided by Linda, whose local expertise greatly enhanced our experience.
Melanie served as an excellent tour guide, sharing a wealth of information and maintaining a friendly demeanor. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the city and our visit to The Buchart Gardens. It was a wonderful day in Victoria.
Get ready to be amazed and fully absorb the stunning scenery. Photos are nice, but they can't capture the incredible depth. We were grateful for our driver Linda, who was thoughtful and caring with our 97-year-old aunt and the rest of us. Outstanding service and guidance.
I had a fantastic tour with Linda, who was accommodating to our preferences. Her extensive knowledge of history enhanced our experience, and we explored many highlights of Victoria. I arranged the tour only a day in advance, and we were able to visit the stunning Buchart Gardens.
Melanie was fantastic. We had a great day, gaining a lot of knowledge about Victoria, and truly enjoyed our time at Butchart Gardens. I highly recommend this private tour.
Linda is outstanding! I had an excellent tour, and the gardens were fantastic. I highly recommend this experience—Victoria is truly beautiful.
Linda provided excellent assistance and had a deep understanding of Victoria. We were able to visit everything on our list, and the experience at Butchart Gardens was enchanting. Many trees were blooming, and we only hoped the roses had also been in season.
