Perfect Day Tour to see Victoria and the gardens.

Published on Jul, 2024

Our tour guide was excellent and provided a wealth of information for us to learn about the area and its rich culture. Plenty of time at every stop, never felt rushed. Ride and transfers were all effortless and comfortable. We really enjoyed this full day tour and not having to drive and explore all these sites on our own.
