Victoria, Paglalayag sa Gulf Islands at Paglilibot sa Butchart Gardens

Nagkaroon kami ng napakagandang oras sa pagliliwaliw. Nakita namin ang gusali ng Parlamento, ang Empress Fairmont Hotel, ang Inner Harbour. Kumain kami ng Pacific Cod at Wild Salmon Fish and Chips sa Red Fish Blue Fish stall sa waterfront, napakasarap ng pagkain... nagkaroon kami ng hindi malilimutang karanasan. Ang mga bulaklak sa Butchart Gardens ay napakaganda. Ang pagsakay sa BC FERRIES ay isa ring kasiya-siyang karanasan.

The tour is well organised and the chief guide (also the driver) David is the most knowledgable and supportive guide I've ever seen. Also need to give credit to the connecting vessel drive Karl and Sam for their professionality, support and sense of humor. The whole tour is an immersive, rigorous and vivid demonstration of Canadian hospitality and scenery. Definitly worth the ticket and strongly recommended.

The trip was very enjoyable. Victoria Island was incredibly beautiful, even though it rained that day. We still saw many stunning views. Our return was very late, but our guide, Andy, took us all the way to our doorstep, which deeply touched us. He was an excellent guide.

Ang pangkalahatang karanasan ay hindi masama, ngunit dahil sa trapiko habang sinusundo, naantala kami ng mahigit kalahating oras 😅. Nakakabahala na baka nakalimutan kami, ngunit buti na lang at agad akong nakipag-ugnayan sa customer service at mabilis silang tumugon. Ang tour guide ay napakasipag magpaliwanag, kahit na marami siyang ginagawa at kailangan pang magmaneho habang nagpapaliwanag. Hindi maganda ang panahon, umuulan pa, ngunit normal lang ito para sa kanila 🤣. Ang karanasan sa pagsakay sa bangka ay napakaespesyal, ang buong sasakyan ay ipinasok sa bangka at dinala sa Victoria Harbour. Bukod pa rito, napakaganda rin ng Butchart Gardens, ngunit naniniwala akong mas maganda ito kapag panahon ng pamumulaklak!

因為馬拉松封路的原因，旅行社在電郵上提早通知需要在Canada Place Welcome Centre集合。因封路情況不斷更改，所以導遊在車上也需要和中心聯絡，最後也能趕及11點的渡輪。值得一讚的是導遊在這緊張的環境下，也一直繼續介紹景點，非常專業！ Buchart Garden非常漂亮，正值是鬱金香的季節，有很多不同的花！然後在Victoria自由活動了2小時，買了些紀念品！

Napakagandang araw, maayos ang lahat. Nagsimula ang araw sa pagkuha sa hotel at inilipat kami sa mas malaking bus. Ang aming guide na si Jason ay napakagaling at nagbahagi ng maraming impormasyon tungkol sa Vancouver at Victoria. Karamihan sa araw ay binubuo ng pagmamaneho at pagsakay sa mga ferry. Mas gugustuhin sana namin ang mas maraming oras sa Butchart Gardens dahil kalahating oras ang ginugol sa pagkain ng pananghalian sa hardin dahil walang gaanong pagpipilian na gluten free sa ferry kaya 35 minuto lamang kami para galugarin ang hardin. Wala ring gaanong oras sa Victoria.

Isang napakagandang karanasan sa paglalakbay! Bukod sa lubos na pagkaunawa sa itineraryo, detalyadong ikinuwento ng tour guide at tsuper na si Tito ang background at kasaysayan ng mga atraksyon. Bukod pa rito, nagbigay siya ng mga kaayusan sa pagbalik, maraming salamat!

The Butchart Gardens is undeniably a worthwhile visit as garden landscape is kinda breathtaking. I particularly fond of the sunken garden because the passage that leads me towards this place was like immersing myself into the Alice in Wonderland world. The visit to Victoria is definitely a must go, and I was totally impressed with the Victoria Parliament Building simply of grandiose Victorian Era architecture. The only drawback or minus point of this trip is 1.5 hours is too short to explore this lovely heritage city, perhaps half day or 4 hours makes it more practical.

Anthony is a good guide, driver and host, he gave a lot of information regarding the city of Victoria and Vancouver, he took good care of each of us, given a good itinerary arranged for everyone, we enjoyed the trip guided by him!

Andrea is amazing... her knowledge and her expertise and her patience and warmth! definitely recommended!
