5.00Informative tour led by a very competent guide/bus driver. Butchart Gardens and Victoria are total gems to experience. Ferry rides are enjoyable also.
Not enough time

3.00The Gardens were great and the 2 hours we were given was the perfect amount of time. Our driver/guide Justin was amazing, unfortunately we were only given 1 hour and 45 minutes to see all of Victoria which was not even close to what the description says. To be fair, that was really all that time allowed in order to make it back to the ferry but just be prepared to only have time to see one or two places in Victoria. We were still able to walk by China town, the Parliament building, and the Empress hotel but only briefly for each and didn’t have any time to go into the Royal BC Museum.

3.00Long day, 12 hour tour with only 2 hours at Bruchart Gardens and less than two hours in Victoria. The remaining time (approximately 8 hours) is spent traveling to and from the attractions.

5.00It’s a long day on the bus but there are plenty of opportunities to be outside the coach for food and to stretch your legs. The Butchart Gardens and the city of Victory are beautiful.
Fantastic day trip!

5.00Victoria & Butchart Gardens are the draw, but it was our guide Dan who brings the experience to another level. We loved having him! His knowledge of the area is impressive, he ran a flawlessly organized operation, and is a terrific driver to boot. It was great hearing him speak about the local history and his experience as a Vancouver native. This tour is well-balanced; there is a great split of personal time at each stop and tour time on the road. I highly recommend!
