Highly recommend this tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

Melanie was wonderful! She took her time and explained where we were heading next, the history there, and what to expect and look for. It made our tour of Butchart Gardens and our entire tour so enjoyable.

Melanie - Best tour guide in Victoria

Published on Jun, 2024

The gardens were lovely, but the best part of our tour was our guide, Melanie. Not only did she take us through all of the interesting parts of Victoria and tell us a lot about everything we saw, but she pushed my husband in a wheelchair throughout the gardens, allowing us to all see everything. She was excellent and went above and beyond.

Excellent Victoria and Garden Tour

Published on May, 2024

Melanie was so kind and knowledgeable about the area. She met us right at the ferry. We feel like we really got to know Victoria up close and personal. The Gardens were spectacular. I highly recommend her tour. If we return to Victoria, we’d do it again.

Best tour ever

Published on Oct, 2023

Melanie our tour guide picked us up at our room. Took us all around victoria to the best places to see. She was very knowledgeable about the city. She was amazing. We ended up at the Butchart gardens , what a wonderful place, we had the best time ever. Would do it again. Would Recommend 100%. We were glad we got to meet her. Thank you.

Highlights of Victoria, BC

Published on Sep, 2023

Our group consisted of 2 couples arriving by cruise ship for a day in Victoria. We were met at the Docks by Melanie, our tour guide, in an immaculate 2023 Honda Touring Mini-van. We could not have chosen a better tour. Melanie is a local and is passionate about her island. She took us on a 4 hour highlight tour, starting with the house boat area--(an unexpected plus for us!)--and concluding with two hours at the beautiful Butchart Gardens. A great day of memories! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria.
