Victoria & Butchart: Tour Privé Deluxe Inoubliable

Nous avons adoré notre voyage avec Mark - il est venu nous chercher rapidement au terminal de la croisière à l'heure indiquée. Il a été très patient, informatif et sage de s’arrêter au parc Beacon Hill pour laisser les enfants courir et se défouler. Mark a même apporté une nourriture pour oiseaux qu'il partageait avec les enfants pour nourrir les paons. Il nous a montré les sites touristiques de Victoria (Fisherman's Wharf, Beacon Hill Park, Craigdarroch Castle) en direction des Butchart Gardens, puis nous a permis de parcourir les jardins à notre guise avant de venir nous chercher et de nous montrer Chinatown / Fan Tan Alley. Nous avons terminé notre visite par une demande spéciale - un arrêt pour Beaver Tails - - et Mark était heureux de répondre. Nous avons apprécié le fait que la visite était personnalisée et plus rentable que si nous avions fait une excursion au port par la compagnie de croisière: gagnant - gagnant! Merci Mark!

Linda nous a rencontrés rapidement à notre navire. Elle a suggéré de nous emmener d'abord dans les jardins, ce qui voulait dire que nous étions là-bas avant que l'un des autocars du bateau n'arrive ici. Pas de foule du tout. Quand nous avons fini aux jardins, nous avons ensuite visité l'exposition de papillons et une merveilleuse visite du centre-ville. Linda est une mine d'informations et a fait de son mieux pour s'assurer que tous les membres de notre groupe voient et font ce qu'ils veulent faire et voir. Je recommande fortement cette entreprise!

Great tour with Linda. She was flexible on what we wanted to do, knew so much about the history, and we saw a lot of Victoria highlights. I had booked just the day before as we wanted to see Buchart Gardens, which was beautiful.

Be prepared to ooh and ahh and let the gorgeousness sink in. Pictures are good but don’t give the 3D depth. We truly appreciated our driver Linda. She was gracious and kind with our 97 yo Aunt and us. Excellent guide and service.

Melanie was a great tour guide! Full of information and so very pleasant! We enjoyed touring in the city and visiting The Buchart Gardens. Great day in Victoria.

Victoria is a beautiful city and area with much to discover and see. We enjoyed a delightful day with Linda as our guide. Her local knowledge made the day even better.

Excellent tour. Comfortable van. Very helpful driver/tour guide. She gave us lots of information about the area and arranged the day to suit our requests.

Tour picks up right at the pier, our tour guide Linda was right there on time waiting with a sign with our name on it. She asked us if we had any other specific things we wanted to see and we mentioned wanting to see the Castle, she suggested we see that first since it was in a different area than the gardens. She took us also to see the tallest totem pole and a beautiful park with Sequoia trees. Then we went to the Butchart gardens which was amazing! Linda was very knowledgeable about the town and gave us lots of info while driving us around. The van was very comfortable and had booster seats if needed for the kids.

This was a terrific experience. We day tripped from Port Angeles on the ferry. We wanted to see butchart gardens and a number of other sights in town. We also didn’t want to worry about coordinating schedules with one of the shuttle buses. This was perfect. Linda picked us up at Fisherman’s Wharf. She drove around pointing out several interesting sites and stopping a couple of times for us to get out and see the sights. She was knowledgeable and very flexible in adjusting the itinerary for our preferences. At Butchart Gardens she said that guided tours weren’t permitted but she did accompany us in for a few pictures at the entrance and gave us her tips on how to walk through the garden to see everything. When we were done she picked us up, pointed out some more sights and then dropped us off. This was a great day and I can’t recommend her enough!

We had a great time with Melanie! She was so accommodating to our special requests like grabbing a Tim Hortons coffee on the way to the gardens. She gave us a nice unexpected orientation in the gardens and also took some lovely pictures of us. We were able to completely miss all the cruise crowds and have a lovely day seeing the absolute best of Victoria!
