Vancouver Island & Victoria Day trip

Ralph_H, Aug 2022

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.

Would Recommend!!

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

Victoria with Erich

Erich was fun and knowledgable, attentive to our needs, always pointing things out as we traveled to the next destination. He was always punctual but flexible. Highly recommend.

Four of us were taken in a large...

Jean L, Jul 2017

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. We recommend him highly and wouldn't use anyone else in Vancouver.
