    Excellent guides and airline partners. Need to have vouchers before entering gardens. 20 minute wait because of supervisor needing to confirm because there were no paper vouchers.

    it was good but no seating reservation on sea plane, which is little in convenient. Major issue was too expensive. Butchart garden ticket only $80 CAN and Sea plane arround $100CAN one way. But we paid close to $1500 CAN for two way ( returned) sea plane and Butchart garden trip Bus fare from Hotel Fairmont Empress to Butchart Garden ( two way) should not be that expensive Over all It's too expensive and unreasonable.
