Thank you Richard for making our day so interesting, informative and pleasant. We visited the Butchart Gardens, butterfly garden, and driving tour through Oak Bay, grabbing a bite at Red Barn Market, and the castle. You have a wonderful personality and a pleasure to be with

It was a fun tour, we had a very informative guide, John, and we enjoyed our time strolling around the countryside and learning interesting facts about Victoria. It was a long drive though, I would prefer walking next time. We saw a lot of the country, but not much of the city, wish we could have stayed in Victoria longer to be able to see it more. Nevertheless, thanks Ev tours and John.

Thank you for taking the time to review. Yes, between the hour and thirty minutes to and from the city to Butchart Gardens, and exploring the gardens for 90 minutes, it leaves not too long for exploring the city. We encourage all guests to let us know their preferences. We hope you return for another tour.

Fabulous tour with Elizabeth!! Exceeded our highest expectations. Our cruise ship had some delays and so the ship canceled all of its excursions. But Elizabeth just worked around our new schedule and was able to show us Victoria in a way that was interesting, fun and memorable.

Butchart Gardens were the reason for the trip and were the highlight of the day. Our guide, Elizabeth from EV Tours, walked with us and was very knowledgeable on the history and and the plants in the garden. She also gave us a driving tour through Victoria and and along the coast telling us about the history and culture of the city. We had only a few hours for our visit and Elizabeth made the most of our time. Victoria is a beautiful city with a lot to do and see. I highly recommend a visit there with enough time to fully enjoy. We will return.

Elizabeth is a fascinating lady with a deep respect for nature and animals, and is multi-lingual. Her insight on how the Island developed, and her rigorous review of current events melds in quintessential manner that was very pleasing to us. You can tell she loves exploring and finding new flora, fauna, etc. She was such a delight to be with all day.Her love of Victoria was infectious, makes you want to start planning the next trip to Victoria.

Elizabeth was super nice, knowledgeable and fun. We took a beautiful hike through old growth forests with a creek running through it to Hatley Castle and the Japanese gardens there. It was a hot day though. So we cooled off at the 6 Mile Pub, the oldest in Victoria. Next we were off to a beach that had driftwood art along it, really nice. Then we drove down a narrow winding but gorgeous country road to Goldstream Provincial Park. We Hiked through a tunnel and up a rugged path to Niagara Falls. Gorgeous park wonderful waterfalls. Last stop was a resort overlooking the Pacific where we had a wonderful lunch. We saw an Eagle flying and had a hummingbird hang out by the window. You could see Mt Baker and other huge mountains and the pacific from our table. The views were incredible. I highly recommend EV Tour’s and Elizabeth.

What a beautiful day in Victoria! Our guide, Elizabeth, customized our 5 hour tour to do what me , an architect,and my college aged daughter and outdoor loving partner wanted to visit. We choose a serene forest walk , castle and gardens walk, stopped by the driftwood beach, headed north for a wonderful meal with a great view of the Inlet and topped off the tour with some historic neighborhoods in Victoria. Elizabeth was personal, kind, knowledgable and really crafted the tour to our needs.

After two and a half years we were finally able to take this tour. Elizabeth was a delight to work with in getting us rescheduled time after time due to Covid 19. Elizabeth made a point of coming to meet us as we started our tour.
Richard was our guide for the day. He was very accommodating throughout the tour.
We had reservations at Butchart Gardens for high tea and he checked to make sure that we were all set for that.
We would definitely recommend EV Tours for a full day tour experience.

Wanted to visit Salt Spring Island and there was no question I  wanted Elizabeth to be my guide again. And I wasn't disappointed. Elizabeth had ideas of what to do and see and was flexible to respond to anything I mentioned. Her relaxed and easy manner makes the time fly by. One word sums up the tour: FABULOUS! And in great part because of Elizabeth. Looking for a great tour guide? Choose Elizabeth!
