Our tour guide Claudia was fantastic. Knowledgeable, patient, sweet, and engaging. It was a great way to see Victoria and learn some of its history. The bus was brand new and they picked us up at our hotel. Would definitely recommend!

BEST experience ever - The team at star sightseeing went above and beyond! They were able to accommodate us on the tour as a last minute booking when I called. Emily and Claudia were a wealth of knowledge, and you can really tell how proud they are to share their region. They steered us to the best lunch we had on our trip, in Victoria. Cannot recommend Star enough!

Victoria and Butchart Gardens - Excellent tour despite being a long day. We had time for some sightseeing and lunch in Victoria before heading to the gardens. Butchart gardens are absolutely stunning and well worth a visit.
Claudia was an excellent and informative tour guide and Dominic was a very good driver. We had a great day.

Lovely tour to Victoria - Victoria is an amazing city. And Butchart Gardens is unmissable. I went there with the guide Joel who is so nice, funny and regardful. He even gave me a hot chocolate. I miss u, guy. The group was nice and small. I could not recommend this tourism agency enough.

Excellent Adventure with Nigel & Sim - My family and I had a great time with Nigel, our tour director, and Sim, our bus driver. Nigel's positive, funny, and energetic personality was very welcoming and made our first time in Victoria memorable. His insight and expert local knowledge of the surrounding Vancouver area, Victoria, and Butchart gardens were very helpful and painted a vivid picture of the sights for us. Nigel was able to provide us with extra time in our tour because of our small group size which we appreciated.
The ride was smooth and we safely arrived at each destination on time. Nigel and Sim worked well together while Nigel explained every part of the itinerary clearly and even gave us tips for lunch, shopping, and other sightseeing attractions. We look forward to taking another trip with Star Sightseeing again.

Long day, but beautiful and worth it if you have the time and energy. - Our tour guide, Joel, was absolutely fantastic! He clearly loves his hometown and enjoys sharing it with his guests.
His energy and wit combined with his kindness and compassion makes him a perfect guide suited to any traveler.
We had a bright, sunny day for our experience. Victoria and Butchard Gardens were both beautiful.
This tour is long and can feel exhausting for mobility challenged customers. There is a lot of getting on and off the bus and ferry plus walking around Victoria and the Gardens. Our tour lasted about 15 hours. It is a LONG day, but totally worth it if you have the time and the energy.

Wonderful Vancouver Island Tour - Nigel (tour guide) and Dom (driver), where exceptional. Their local knowledge and humour made it an enjoyable day. We saw a whale and a balled eagle on the cruise and Vancouver Island was a dream to visit and look around. Thank you Nigel and Dom. It is a full day out so comfortable shoes and jumper should be brought. Ps. The postcards are beautiful.

Natalia was our tour... - Natalia was our tour guide and she was wonderful! There were 4 of us on this trip. We were picked up at the beginning of the day, and dropped off at the end of the day, at our VRBO rental. Natalia shared a lot of information about Vancouver, Victoria and Butchart Gardens. You are lucky if you get her on your trip! The driver was also very nice. The ferry ride both ways was enjoyable and comfortable. They have food you can purchase and seating with nice views. We started with the city tour of Victoria and then had time on our own to eat lunch and shop. Next we went to beautiful Butchart Gardens. We never felt rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the day. It is a long day, but well worth it!!
