We have used Keith consistently for several months for private transport in Victoria, B.C. & the surrounding areas. Keith is the best. He is quick to reply to booking requests, always punctual, friendly, and goes out of his way to accommodate last minute changes. Keith is our go to guy on Vancouver Island. Kiki Shuffle has resonable rates and I recommend them completely!

Victoria is known as the City of Gardens and on this private tour you'll discover two of the best. We'll start our day at the world-famous Butchart Gardens. As we drive along scenic country roads, learn about the fascinating history of the gardens and the unique vision of Jennie Butchart. An early arrival at the gates means we'll miss the crowds and with 22 ha to explore, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the gardens. These stunning gardens are a National Historic Site and have something to offer in every season, from dazzling displays of spring flowers through to the magical Christmas illuminations. A short drive through beautiful countryside brings us to our second stop: the Gardens at HCP (Horticultural Centre of the Pacific). The "gardeners' garden" is located in a conservation park and we'll explore nature trails, wetlands, and bird watching areas alongside more formal gardens, including Canada's largest Bonsai garden.

Inclusions: Entrance fees

Exclusions: Food and drink

We were lucky enough to be here for hawk watch weekend. We are keen birdwatchers and saw the spectacle of dozens of vultures massing up in the sky. Plus local groups of birders about for hawk migration. Great walking along the coast and to the point. But get there early for a car park space.

Booking with the owner, Kevin, was seemless. Our tour stopped at 3 great wineries and included a charcuterie lunch. Our driver, Mark, was fantastic and showed us all of the features of the Tesla X that we were fortunate to tour in. Mark was also a wealth of knowledge about the area and the drive by Shawnigan Lake Private School was a nice personal touch.

Richard is very knowledgeable and about Victoria, with the traffic jam due to protesting activities in the city, he was able to detour quickly for alternate routes which was great.

This past year has been rather drab with all the restrictions and laying low that has been dragging on and on. Erika changed all that for me and my bubble. She easily curated a perfect day of fun and adventure based on who we are and she was an amazing facilitator the whole time. I have not had a day of that much fulfillment in along time and I have never had a day of that much fun that was so effortless for me. twofiveo does the work. Thanks for the wonderful lifetime memory!
