Excellent tour guide. She had so much knowledge to transfer. After the tour she offered to drop us off anywhere we wanted.
Driver from Island Time was Excellent! Very knowledgeable of the area.
Great experience! Colleen is the owner of the tour group. She was our guide for the tour. She is very knowledgeable, funny and more than the usual Canadian nice! Her guide style is one of the best we have experienced in all of our travels and tours. Butchart gardens was awesome. Wish we had more time to spend in the little hideaway spots with benches to really absorb the peaceful atmosphere. The city tour gave us additional perspectives of the history of Victoria.
Neil with Island Time Tours was great and knowledgeable about the area. Once we completed the city tour, Neil took us to Butchart Gardens. Highly recommended
Neil was the ABSOLUTE BEST!! Knowledgeable, SO KIND, great personality, he really cares about ensuring we saw everything to the best of our ability. He was engaging during the drive. Best day!!!
Tyco was our guide and he was excellent!!!! He gave history, places of interest, places to eat, and even taught us how to use our IPhones to identify plants! He MADE the tour. There were 8 of us in our group!👍
Great trip with a knowledgeable driver who gave us a very comprehensive tour of Victoria before we went to the gardens. Spent a happy few hours seeing everything and enjoying a gelato in the sun. Great day out and still time for another outing in the evening.
I booked for Victoria city and Butchart gardens tour. Our tour guide was Tyco. He was knowledgeable and made our tour very interesting incorporating with humour. He is very lively throughout the trip, and his knowledge about the history made me and family understand the stories behind each place we visited. Thank you Tyco for this amazing experience in Victoria.
Our tour guide Mark was amazing. He had all the interesting stories to tell and really knew his plants. Butchart Gardens is a must see. Stunning! Very interesting history of city and quite extensive tour.
The tour and our guide were great. It was a good balance of city tour and about the right amount of time to explore and experience the gardens.
