    It’s a long day. More time is needed in Victoria. 1.5 is very short. The Gardens minimum time is 1.5 hours. No less.

    The trip to Victoria was a special excursion. We loved our guide Leslie who made all instructions clear and humorous. He taught us much throughout the day and remained most courteous. Butchart Gardens was a delight with the Christmas lights and 12 days of Christmas theme. Would love to return in the spring. Traveling by ferry was a breeze. It was a 5 star day!

He made sure we all had the bus schedule and times to board and meet, he was informative, energetic and entertaining, every destination we were heading to, he talked about what to expect, if you have a choice choose Jack at Westciast Sightseeing!

    All our day excursions were amazing. We enjoyed our tours with David and Andrea. They explained our visits to Whistler and Victoria. The trips were well organized.
