Was the tour company that you contacted Gray Line - they are/have or will be cutting back or even quitting business operations in Victoria I can`remember which but there is a thread somewhere.

No it wasn't. The name was spelled with 3 initials.

We booked a rental car for our day in Victoria. Quick taxi ride from the pier to Budget rental got our car for $45 for the day (we were upgraded to a convertible Mustang with under 100 miles on it) and drove around all day, and then were given a ride back down to the terminal. We didn't have to rely on and wait for public transportation and had all the time we wanted at the gardens.

Most of the pictures there are from the gardens. We spent most of the morning there (3-4 hours) wondering around.
