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.
