Vancouver Island & Victoria Day trip - We took the BC fairy to Vancouver Island to tour Butchart Gardens and then went on to Victoria and had lunch at the Steamship Bar & Grill as suggested by Erick. He was a great tour guide. Lots of facts, figures and a whole lot better d laughs.

Private Tours Rock - The ferry ride was relaxing and got to see Orca’s to boot. The trip to Butchart Gardens was great to get a grasp of the island. Our guide was full of great facts about the island and Gardens. The free time in Victoria was enhanced by our guides (Kyle) suggestions on what to see and the path to take. This was an all around great experience and quite happy that we did the private tour since it afforded much flexibility

Four of us were taken in a large... - <p>Four of us were taken in a large SUV/Van to Victoria by Erick for a day. Most importantly, Erick is the loveliest, nicest and most charming young man you could ask for as your guide and escort. He was considerate, he was articulate, he was interested and he was always concerned about our welfare. We had some challenges and Erick was very accommodating and sensitive to them. </p>
<p>We recommend him highly and wouldn't use anyone else in Vancouver.</p>
