Excellent day in Victoria and Butchart Gardens at night for the holiday lights. Gabriel was a great guide and spent the majority of the 13 hours telling us about Vancouver and Victoria. We had our own list of places we wanted to visit and Gabriel helped to make sure we fit everything in. Highly recommend!
A long day of travel, but a great overview on Victoria and the Gardens. Made all the more enjoyable because of our guide Gabriel. My wife and I can’t compliment him enough…
Butchart Gardens was dazzling! Alex MacDougall filled the travel time in the bus with extensive insights into Victoria and Vancouver from the 1600’s to present time. Had several hours of flexible time in Victoria where again Alex’s pre-prep w a map and suggestions made you feel comfortable exploring.
