I liked how he was able to pick up everyone either on time or early. I liked his demeanor and some of the stories and history of Vancouver and Victoria. It was super helpful he provided us maps and "Flower marks the spot" of where we are being dropped off and where pick up will be. It was a beautiful and pleasant day. Also the tour company was excellent as I did get separated from the group - on purpose - and how he quickly was able to pick me up at the gates of Butchart Gardens. It was also fun the quizzes he gave us to see if we learned anything new. He ended it too with a pleasant soundtrack of Canadian musicians.

This was a nice trip spanning a day. The highlight was the Butchart Gardens where even after spending a lot of time you still feel you can spend some more. Meghan's timely narration was very informative and helpful.

The timing for each location is spaced out nicely, the tourguide is very engaging and he gives us a lot of background information of where we’re going and also on the way there.

Excellent and Fantastic Driver - Guide

We had a brilliant day with pickup , drop off , ferry all working really well. The driver "Ken" from memory was exceptional especially as when we got to the Island and were driving to Victoria the bus had a fault and heater was stuck on so bus was very hot. He tried to fix, apologised and got us there as quickly as possible. While people were visiting Victoria he got it fixed and top of that got everyone an ice-cream and calendar at the Butchart Gardens as a sorry gesture. He was brilliant and a real credit to the company and Canada.

Casey treated us to his lifelong knowledge of the area. Ferry ride was fascinating to us. Victoria is nice but the gardens as usual were beautiful even in the rain.
