{I was only in Victoria for 3 nights, and wanted to see as much of the city as possible. I was interested particularly in Butchart Gardens and Malahat Observation Tower. Melanie provided me with lots of historical information while stopping at points of interest, and some special requests from me! She has a comfortable van, and is such a happy and positive person! She even shared her favorite coffee and donut shop with me! This was the best possible tour for me travelling alone with limited time and I can easily see her providing an educational tour for any small group as well!
