This is only the shuttle ride-does not include tickets! Shuttle tide was fine-the driver’s stories made it enjoyable. Drop off and pick up was on time.

The commentary by our driver and guide made the experience of the gardens much more enjoyable.

Our driver, Rob, was both fun and informative. He was truly a wealth of knowledge. We met outside the Empress and had the opportunity to pre-purchase our tickets to the garden, which was a nice feature. The double decker bus was clean and comfortable. The gardens are beautiful!
Thank you for your kind review. We’re big fans of Rob as well! We're pleased to hear you enjoyed his engaging commentary and the comfort of the bus. Most of all, we're glad you had a wonderful time at the gardens.!
The staff were friendly and helpful. The bus was clean and the bus driver was very knowledgeable about the Victoria, BC and she added humor to her story telling. Really enjoyed learning from her.
