Instead of a smaller bus this was an exceptionally large bus and despite of how far in advance I made the reservation the stop was over a mile from our hotel and we were the last pick up point which made us the back of the bus. We lost at least 7 minutes at each stop just to exit the bus. The driver who told us we could charge our phones on the bus did not know where the button was to activate the outlets so we were only able to use it after Butchart Gardens. Also despite the listing by Viator no water was provided. The places we saw were wonderful.
Fantastic day. Justin was an amazing guide. The gardens were incredible and what a beautiful place is Victoria. Thoroughly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to welcome you on another Zoom Tour in the future! Warm regards, The Zoom Tours Team
Informative tour led by a very competent guide/bus driver. Butchart Gardens and Victoria are total gems to experience. Ferry rides are enjoyable also.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! Best regards, The Zoom Tours Team
The Gardens were great and the 2 hours we were given was the perfect amount of time. Our driver/guide Justin was amazing, unfortunately we were only given 1 hour and 45 minutes to see all of Victoria which was not even close to what the description says. To be fair, that was really all that time allowed in order to make it back to the ferry but just be prepared to only have time to see one or two places in Victoria. We were still able to walk by China town, the Parliament building, and the Empress hotel but only briefly for each and didn’t have any time to go into the Royal BC Museum.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the gardens and that Justin made a positive impression. Thank you for choosing Zoom Tours, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, The Zoom Tours Team
Long day, 12 hour tour with only 2 hours at Bruchart Gardens and less than two hours in Victoria. The remaining time (approximately 8 hours) is spent traveling to and from the attractions.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly appreciate your perspective and apologize for the timing constraints you experienced on the tour. We hope you’ll consider joining us again in the future. Best regards, Zoom Tours Team
The description says bottle water was included. There was no water. Also received an email saying to meet at 8:30 am. The bus driver did not arrive until about 9:15am
Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the bottled water not being provided as described, and for the delay with the bus arrival. We are reviewing these matters with our team. Thank you for your understanding. Warm regards, Zoom Tours Team
It’s a long day on the bus but there are plenty of opportunities to be outside the coach for food and to stretch your legs. The Butchart Gardens and the city of Victory are beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the beauty of Butchart Gardens and the city of Victoria. We hope to welcome you on another Zoom Tours adventure in the future! Warm regards, Zoom Tours Team

Victoria & Butchart Gardens are the draw, but it was our guide Dan who brings the experience to another level. We loved having him! His knowledge of the area is impressive, he ran a flawlessly organized operation, and is a terrific driver to boot. It was great hearing him speak about the local history and his experience as a Vancouver native. This tour is well-balanced; there is a great split of personal time at each stop and tour time on the road. I highly recommend!
