GO! Grey line Buchart Gardens & Victoria - A true travel experience. Yes long day, but I treated the entire your an experience and not just destinationd. Jessica A1 tour guide and driver. Trip from Vancouver to ferry dock informative. BC Ferry genuine experience. Scenic. Buchart Gardens more than we expected. One of top ten places we have visited. My wife and ardent garden fanatic. Two hours was tight but we saw it. Victoria had the perfect bus stop. Walked a bit. Viewed government building and waterfront. Grabbed dinner on the patio of the Steamship Grill and Bar. Salmon clam chowder sensational. Stop at Terry Fox zero mile marker was emotional. Long day but Grey Line was well worth it. Another company has cancelled our pre booked excursion the day before. However it all worked out
