The driver was a really helpful person, precise, in time. Although the tour was mainly held in Chinese, we got a lot of information in English too. The tour is well organized: in the morning we had a tour at the gardens and in the afternoon we saw Victoria city centre. Good value for money!

We enjoyed Victoria Island and the Burchart Gardens, but the side trip to the Chinese buffet was entirely useless, as was the detour to Mile 0. Due to these detours, we had less time at the places we really wanted to see.
