This was one of the highlights of our trip to Vancouver. The ferry ride, Butchart Gardens, and Victoria were all beautiful. Everything was well planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Our guide was friendly and made the trip easy and enjoyable. We’d happily book another tour with Arrow Travel & Transit the next time we’re back.
