Our tour thru Vancouver BC and Buchart Gardens was excellent, and Wild BC Tours with Chuck Scott as the tour guide get an A rating from us. They were on time, very knowledgeable and informative, and the tour was very flexible, no rushing, no fighting the crowds, etc. I would recommend this private limo type of tour and Wild BC Tours to anyone who wanted to see Canada.
