A great option to traverse through the beautiful garden while guided buy a great, funny guides. Guide ensures that you learn a truck load about some native species, trees, plants and the three lakes within the garden. This is a really great option especially if are already super tired of all the travel and want to sit back and relax in a comfortable vehicle while it goes through the beautiful garden.

The experience is wonderful and feel great to tour the gardens with guide. The tour guide is thoughtful to offer blankets for my children as the weather is cold especially when the mini bus is going around the gardens.

It was a nice tour, the guide mentioned where the trees/plants are from, and how they are taken care of. I believe it’s a 30 min tour riding a mini bus, so you get to see everything, it’s good if you have limited time. For us, we went back to the garden, and went to the one we liked during the tour, and stayed there for relaxing and taking pics.

I did not regret joining this tour. Mark, is an excellent guide, very informative and enthusiastic. Better do this first then go to the gardens you want to visit to have a better understanding and appreciation of the gardens. It started and ended on the dot. 30mins is enough time to know about the gardens. I was scheduled at 2:45 but was able to change the time to 2pm. The staff at the reception is very accommodating. Booking is hassle free. I’ll recommend this to family and friends!

So glad that we joined this tour. We didn't have a lot of time but the tour gave us a very good glimpse into the history and different parts of the beautiful serene Garden. The guide stopped the car briefly at photo spots so we could take snaps and she engaged us with informative commentary. Highly recommended!
