I can't think of a better way to travel to the Butchart Gardens! Booking and check-in were so easy, the bus was clean and comfortable, and the narration along the way was so intriguing. We appreciated hearing the history of Victoria and the surrounding towns while we traveled. The flexibility of choosing when we left the gardens and returned to the hotel was also very much appreciated. The drivers were very punctual and offered trips back to Victoria every hour.

I paid more than double what an uber would have cost. I thought it covered admission to the Butchart Gardens but when I got voucher it said transportation only.
