This was a great trip, and Kiki our driver was awesome!! Drove us to Butchart Gardens, right to the front gate. Walked us to a special line for tickets, went over the map, and was waiting for us just outside. He was so informative, friendly and treated us like family. Van was comfortable, and our family of 7 had more than enough room. We found him as soon as we got off our cruise ship, boy we were lucky, he was the best!!
