Great experience, great price, great driver! - Booked only a few hours before the event since we were inbound on a cruise ship, The Queen Elizabeth. The office address was not readily visible but after we found it, the check in was quick and easy. Great time was had be our party of 6 and we would all highly recommend it.

Best Way to See Victoria BC - Lovely overview of Victoria. Mike was so informative and tailored his tour information to our interests. His tips for Buschart garden were so helpful. He was even thoughtful enough to drop us off at our next destination!!

A rose is a rose but Butchart Gardens is fabulous - The beauty is un real
The grounds are amazing to view
So many different flowers
Mid June you might start seeing more rose blooms even without a lot of rose blooms the adventure is awesome

Thanks Michael for a great mini tour of Victoria and trip to Butchart Gardens - We had a great tour with Michael through Victoria before heading to Butchart Gardens. Michael had a lot of local knowledge. Comfortable van and everything on time.

Great tour - just the... - Great tour - just the right amount of time to enjoy the gardens with a brief city tour as well. Michael was a wonderful guide and it was easy to book and find the pickup location. I had already bought my garden tickets online, but when we got to the shop, we were told we could have bought them through them for $5 less. This should be stated in the description.

Excellent driving tour, but not enough time in Butchart. - It was a beautiful day to walk through Butchart Gardens after a driving tour of Victoria and some suburbs. Michael our driver was very interesting, informative and interactive. The Sprinter van was able to go into some places where buses were prohibited. He drove us through the city, pointing out places of interest, including several buildings which are over a century old. He gave background info as well as current issues, described the seasonal weather, and answered our many questions. With only seven passengers on this occasion, it was so much nicer than being in a large bus group.
Two hours in Butchart Gardens felt rushed. We don’t walk quickly, preferring to pause and enjoy the views instead. We would have loved to have a more leisurely time and could have easily spent half a day there.
The price of the driving tour was quite reasonable. But $40 per person entry fee for Butchart was too high for such a short time there. Next time I’d opt for 3 to 4 hours at Butchart, even if it meant less time going through Oak bay and Upland or skipping them entirely.

Deceptive advertising - I assumed when booking the sevens city tour and Bushgart gardens that the gardens were included in the fee. That wasn’t the case. You are only made aware of this when you go to print your ticket!
