5.00Great all day tour to Victoria if you are in Vancouver for only a couple of days. Enjoy the beautiful views/landscapes on the ferry ride to Victoria. Even though it’s fall Butchart Gardens did not disappoint. Lots of colorful flowers and beautiful fall displays.

5.00It is a great tour. Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, and his recommendations were truly helpful and appreciated. He did his best to make this trip special. It is a long and somewhat exhausting trip , but well worth it. We scheduled an easy day following the tour, thankfully, but I would do it again. I would definitely recommend it.

4.00It is a lengthy excursion, but necessary due to ferry and bus ride to the gardens. Might have liked another 1/2 hr in Victoria.
