  • well organized, but too little attractions, too much transport

    12-13hrs trip just to see two places. Gardens were worth the visit, but i'd trade 30m there for more time in Victoria - 1h15m is hardly enough for a few photos and a quick bite. 5min walking distance at most. The whole trip was conducted very well though. The real highlight was the history, background and other commentary by our guide/driver Justin: on-spot, informative and funny!

  • Well worth the trip to...

    Well worth the trip to see Butchart gardens and Victoria. Best to do a tour and not try this on your own. Mark, our tour guide, was awesome.

    Our driver, Mark, was a Vancouver native and provided a lot of information on Vancouver, Butchart Gardens and Victoria along the drive. He was very personable and made the trip a pleasure.

  • Too much transport time

    Most of the day is spent on the bus and ferry. Total of 3 hours in garden and Victoria. The garden was beautiful but the overall trip was not the best use of time.
