Valuable Victoria/Butchart tour - What a breath of fresh air! Reserving, pickup, tour, payment were all made very easy by Keith Kiki Fraser owner of Adanac Shuttle. Keith picked 6 of us up, including one with a scooter, at the cruise dock and took us to Butchart. He was informative along on the way and made sure we knew what to do and see at Butchart. After the visit he gave us a brief tour of downtown Vancouver because of our own time constraints. He is friendly and helpful. The best part was his very reasonable price. After going on 4 cruise/private tours in Alaska, I can guarantee you that his was the best service with the best price. We finally had a tour that was worth the value. Thank you, Keith.

Trip to the garden - I highly recommended this business. Richard was very knowledgeable and gave an overview of the history. We learned so much from Richard and he was also the best driver which was a plus.

Beautiful, But Not Enough Time - Sunken Garden was highlight; we, however, didn't have enough time for Rose Garden & Japanese Garden. I was good that we were one of the few visitors at the time. Also, Viator really messed up with communications with Kiki the vendor! You refused to verify my reservation with them, which held up the whole process, while they insisted I pay them directly, since you were refusing to pay them; it took them an hour on the phone with you to finally straighten things out with you. Meanwhile, we had a lot less time at Butchart Gardens with Butchart Gardens stating they weren't dealing with you as a vendor at all & that they would not honor anything with you & we'd have to pay full price, not even any discounts offered! With all this, we were disappointed that all this cut at least an hour off our time at the Gardens, which is primarily Viator's fault in total miscommunication with us all! Please correct this in the future or you'll be losing lots of potential customers!! We do expect you to do something to help compensate for your treatment of us and the vendor. Thanks so much, Ira

Decent Uber ride - This excursion turned out to be more of an Uber ride. The driver was very friendly and a good driver. He did give a guided tour of the City, but unfortunately didn't have a microphone. Only the people in the front of the van could hear him. The other 5 of us couldn't hear anything.

Garden tour on our own was great but not by your company’s support - It was not what we had expected of a fully narrated tour as sold to us. We could have driven our rental car for much cheaper than $266 for 34 minUte ride.

Need a refund - The tour guide never showed up and when I called him he said it had been cancelled. I would like my $275 refunded that I paid for this tour.

False Advertising! - We did not receive a narrated tour of Buchart gardens! Our driver stayed at the car while we went into the garden. Also, admission was not included into the park. Also, she was not a good driver, and slammed on the brakes when she almost ran a stop sign. Asked her if she knew the story behind the gardens as well. She said I’ve never been there!! $325 for 4 hrs for a car ride… what a joke and rip off!
