Testimonials

"My first time to Victoria, and my boss recommended I take the CVS tour. It was FANTASTIC! Blake (bus driver and tour guide) was AMAZING! I was the only person on a Wed morning tour, but Blake took lots of time with me, showing me so many points of interest (and BEAUTIFUL locations). Could NOT have asked for a better "introduction" to Victoria. Highly, highly recommend!"

"The bus was very nice, comfortable and punctual, kept right on schedule both ways. It was a very easy way to get from Victoria to the Butchart Gardens. But the best part was the driver, Blake. He kept us interested and entertained the whole way with information and stories about the local area and the garden."

"My wife and I took the Best of Victoria tour that included Butchart Gardens and other spots. We had a very comfortable van/bus and a great tour guide. We learned a lot about the city of Victoria and then went to Sidney to a distillery, to Butchart Gardens, the Butterfly Garden, the Castle, had lunch provided by Empress Hotel... and then went back to our hotel. This is truly a wonderful experience. So comfortable and informative. It started early and ended late and we were very pleased with the tour."

"We had a good time on this tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We saw lots of things we wouldn't have been able to see by ourselves in just one day. The lunch at noon provided by the Fairmont Empress Hotel was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour."

"We booked this tour though Royal Caribbean / Shore Excursions on May 18, 2017 to the Butterfly & Butchart Gardens. We had the pleasure of being assigned to Bus C14 with your driver Leroy, he was wonderful, friendly, informative and a good driver, we were sitting right behind him both to the gardens and back. We had 2 late passengers at the butterfly gardens and he handled the situation both professionally and with kindness. Leroy is a true asset to your company his enthusiasm and knowledge made our trip to Nanaimo memorable."

"The pick-up location was easy to find and close to our hotel. We were glad to not have to figure out how to get there on our own. The driver gave us a lot of great information about Victoria as well as the Butchart gardens and the overall island, which was much-appreciated. The gardens themselves are amazing-a definite high point on our trip-and it was great to have the ability to view them at our leisure and board the bus when we were ready as it departed every hour. Great value!"

"I just want to thank coach driver Peter for a wonderful narrative and courteous service during our transport to/from Buchart Gardens. It made my birthday trip to Victoria that much more memorable."

"From getting on the bus (just outside the Empress Hotel) to exiting the bus after a wonderful day at the Butchart Gardens everything went like clockwork, we were totally impressed with the bus drivers. They had lots of traffic & people to manoeuvre around, they did a great job. Adrian was our driver on the way to the Gardens, his commentary about Victoria's history was very interesting & it made the bus trip quite enjoyable. Butchart Gardens as always is stunning, the entertainment that evening was excellent & the fireworks WOW!!! Were Absolutely Amazing. I would definitely recommend CVS tours."

"We went on your city and castle tour August 29/17. Bruce, our driver, did a fantastic job and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He was a pleasure to have as a driver/guide and his knowledge and stories left you wanting more.
It must have been our lucky day as we saw a few Orcas in Ross Bay, as an added bonus. We stumbled across your tours through a US based website but will not hesitate to recommend when friends and family come from the mainland. Many thanks, Bruce is a great ambassador for your organization."
