Half-day tour 5hrs
We recently enjoyed a half-day private tour of Butchart Gardens followed by a city highlights excursion, and we can’t say enough good things! When we met Andy, his friendly enthusiasm set the tone for an unforgettable experience. His deep knowledge of the stories about the Butchart family was fascinating and perfectly paced.
When we moved on to the city tour, Andy seamlessly wove together Victoria’s rich history and vibrant present. He made everything feel personal and engaging, whether pointing out hidden gems in Chinatown, recounting tales of Francis Rattenbury’s architectural masterpieces, or sharing local tips for must-see photo spots. His flexible approach let us linger where we wanted and breeze through areas of less interest, ensuring a custom fit from start to finish. We highly recommend Victoria Zero Emission Tours—Andy is, without a doubt, the best guide you could hope for!
Best Regards, Mariel
