Victoria & Vancouver Island Premium Tour - från Vancouver

A very enjoyable trip. Hats off to guide Corey Kirkham who kept us organized and filled our heads with knowledge and stories. I found our days were filled with sites to visit and relaxing time sprinkled in as well. We were very lucky and had a great bunch of people to travel with which made the trip more enjoyable. Accommodations were good with one being a little enjoyable.

Byron was professional, full of information and advice.

Rebecca was an amazing guide who was so welcoming and helpful! She had lots of great recommendations for our free time and always was a friendly face. Thank you Rebecca!

What a great day!! Kim did such a fantastic job as our guide. It was a long day but very enjoyable. We saw so many beautiful sites. The Butchart Gardens was spectacular. Kim was so knowledgeable!!

My friend and I took this 8-day tour in late Aug/early Sep and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Plenty of activities/sights included plus a good amount of downtime to do our own thing. Accommodation was very good. Our guide/driver Corey was organised and knowledgeable, and he went out of his way to look after us with a smile. My only (minor) gripe would be the bus - definitely not a ‘premium’ experience. Seating very tight and for taller guests on long drives very uncomfortable. No storage for backpacks, etc, which also meant less legroom with backpacks under seats. Aircon also not efficient on hot days, and even when pushed to the coolest setting the bus remained hot and stuffy.

We had a fantastic tour to Victoria and Butchart Gardens! Our tour guide, Byron, was incredibly knowledgeable about Vancouver and BC in general—he gave us so much interesting information on the drive, as well as tips on the best spots to sit on the ferry ride and great places to eat lunch in Victoria. It was a long day, but don’t let that dissuade you—this tour is a great way to see Victoria and the islands (from the ferry) all in one day, and the time you have at each spot is enough to see the highlights. And if you’re debating between doing this tour or driving yourself, just know that you save a lot of time by getting on this tour bus since you skip a ton of traffic by being able to drive in the bus lane on the highway and you don’t have to navigate everything yourself. Plus the bus isn’t one of the huge ones—it seats just 24 people, and with nice high windows, you can see so much of the scenery.

René was very funny, efficient and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time exploring Victoria and the Butchart Gardens. Be prepared for a long day as the tour is 10-12 hours. We even saw a bald eagle on the way to the ferry.

Terrible experience. Two days after purchasing the tour, the start and finish times were delayed by 1 hour. The worst part was that the return trip was brought forward, and we had to leave Victoria an hour earlier to pick up the people who had gone to the gardens. No Victoria city tour as agreed. Four hours in the city instead of the six agreed upon. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

5 Stars Bernie our driver. He was very knowledgeable of Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Victoria and Butchart Gardens. He was also friendly kind and considerate. We appreciated our trip immensely Hat’s off to Bernie!!!

Our Vancouver Island tour was everything we thought it would be my husband and I had been across Canada and this was the only part of Canada we hadn’t visited. We were lucky enough to have Cory as our guide and driver he he entertained us with history stories, ghost stories, adventure, stories, and everyday life stories. He had lots of advice to give us on what to do in our off time where to eat and what special gifts we’d like to take home this was a small tour of only 12 so we got to know the adventures and enjoyed each other‘s company when we wanted to spend time together Victoria was stunning with its beautiful gardens, the Empress tea the parliament buildings lit up at night and just the general beauty of the waterfront. It was nice to spend the time in Tofino to explore the beaches to do some whale watching and find some fun places to eat. Campbell River had to be one of my favourite places as we visited the Elks suspension bridge and the BC museum. Our favourite hotel was here too the naturally Pacific resort, beautiful service excellent food, outstanding accommodations for both couples singles and families. We had to alter our stopping off point at the end of the tour and Cory was able to make that seamless for us. I’d recommend this tour to anybody who wants a beautiful fun, relaxing vacation.
