ISLAND TIME TOURS - Victoria, British Columbia

David N.

Really good intro to the City downtown area with trip out to the Gardens ( incl admission and 2hr+ time)

We were picked up promptly at our hotel at 9:45 am in Ford Transit van (8 guest total). Comfortable ride and our guide had an intercom which was easy to hear.

Spent about an hour touring around waterfront area and the park then headed up to the Gardens. We learned historic info that was a helpful orientation.

We found the 2 hr+ time just right to see the Gardens without being rushed but little time to waste. The Gardens were beautiful in early September and not too crowded on a Tuesday at noon.

The tour was a relaxing way to see the area and drive out to Buchart Gardens in time efficient way.

Jim did an excellent job! About 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday, he picked up my family and myself at the Empress hotel and we had only one other lady in the vehicle. We all happened to be from Seattle. He is very well informed in regards to locations and the history of Victoria. Had a great attitude and very friendly! Even allowed us to disembark the vehicle to take scenic pictures of the water and a totem pole at the park that happened to have an eagle resting on top! We had the combo tour with Butchard Gardens as well. We arrived exactly on time and he was promptly ready at the appointed meeting time. Excellent driver and a great sense of humor. Totally added a lot of fun and adventure to our first time to Victoria. Thank you Jim! Keep up the amazing work!

Tyko was a wonderful tour guide full of fascinating stories as we toured the city of Victoria before heading to the Butchart Gardens. A stunning place. It was a great day so would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Tyko was our guide today on our wine tour; he was very informative, funny, and personable. He shared many interesting facts about the area and seemed to really have a passion for his work. Would recommend this tour and Tyko as a guide…10/10.

3 friends and I did the wine tour with Tycho as our guide. He made sure we had a very fun day, sharing local information, some history, and humor. We stopped at 3 great wineries, had a lovely picnic lunch, and because we were a very small group got to make a couple extra quick stops! Be advised if you buy wine you cannot ship it to the US (have to drink during your Canada stay or put in checked luggage). I highly recommend this tour and would do it again if I am ever back in Victoria!

Marcus conducted an excellent downtown tour and trip up to Butchart Gardens. He has the gift of gab! Would definitely recommend.

We had a van tour of several wineries and a cheese farm, complete with a picnic lunch. We had a wonderful day. The scenery was gorgeous. Colleen, our tour guide, gave us interesting info all day while we rode. She shared fascinating info about the wineries, the winemakers, the dairy farmer/cheesemaker, and the forest and wildlife. Lunch was delicious. They can accommodate special diets. We didn’t know that, so we got the regular meal, but there was so much variety that our special diets were not a problem. The wines were all excellent. The first winemaker blew our minds with all of her interesting information, and her wines were really remarkably wonderful. The guide knew what was happening in the area that day and planned our tour to make the most of it. I’m so glad we did this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat. Totally worth it.

Awesome guide company. We did the skywalk and a wine tour on two different days with different guides, both of whom were very informative and fun. Highly recommend.
