The trip on the ferry was interesting and pleasant. The bus driver, Joe, was great. He took us the scenic route to and from the gardens and provided interesting commentary. The Gardens were breathtaking. My only problem was 2 1/2 hours was barely enough time to enjoy everything. All told, a great way to check a biggie off of my bucket list!

Casey treated us to his lifelong knowledge of the area. Ferry ride was fascinating to us. Victoria is nice but the gardens as usual were beautiful even in the rain.

I am so glad I went. However, it is a really really long day. If you have the time do it. It was a once in a lifetime for me.

We were disappointed in the tour to Victoria because we didn’t get picked up until 8:40am and we spent far too much time driving around Vancouver picking up other people. The pick up should be much earlier, with an earlier ferry so more time can be spent in Victoria and Butchart Gardens. Too much waisted time. We did enjoy ourselves and our tour guide Meghan was great, but it was too short.

We visited Vancouver before a cruise and decided on this tour to see Victoria and it did NOT disappoint! Buchart Gardens alone were worth the price. The tour operator did a fantastic job the entire day and we felt like we got our moneys worth and more. From the moment he picked us up in the morning (exactly on time) to the moment he dropped us off that night, Bazel (Baxel with a zed!) was engaged and entertaining as well as knowledgeable. Plus he can sing! Would definately do this tour again.

Loved the tour. My husband and I went with two friends and had a super time. The But hart Gardens are absolutely beautiful, with lots of flowers we had not seen before. The tour in Victoria was good but not a lot of time. Wish we had the time to see the IMAX movie playing, but it didn’t start until after we left. The bus driver was very informative and knowledgeable.

Pick up and drop off at hotel in downtown Vancouver was superb - door-to-door. Ed was a very good guide. Kept everyone on time and gave clear instructions on where and when to meet when we had free time. The ferry ride to and from Victoria was fun. Wish for more time in Victoria but this tour covers a lot so there is sufficient time in Victoria and Butchart Gardens; Ed transported those who wanted more time at the Gardens early so options for attendees existed. As expected, this was a long day but glad we did it. Next time, see Victoria for the day!

Our Butchart Gardens tour was marvelous from start to finish. Steve, our notably knowledgeable and lighthearted tour guide, provided excellent background and guidance in regard to every experience en route, as well as signal highlights of First Nations history, Island history, and that of Butchart Gardens. While it would be easy to dilate about the magnificence and stunning beauty of the vast and various sub-gardens within the Garden, there is really no need. It is a world-class destination known for its distinctive beauty, and must simply be experienced to achieve full appreciation.

We visited Butchart Gardens on July 10th with my family of 6. The visit was amazing and the gardens were stunningly beautiful. Do yourself a favor and put this on your "list to do" when visiting Vancouver/Victoria.

This was one of the most amazing gardens that we’ve ever seen. We are so glad we decided to visit. Do not miss the opportunity to see this place. The wide variety of flowers are beautiful and the grounds are pristine. You will not regret visiting.

Tim, our guide, drove and provided excellent commentary throughout the excursion. He also allowed us ample time on our own to visit the attractions in central Victoria and the Butchart Gardens.Plan for a full day, but it’s worth every minute.

Vancouver, Victoria and the Butchart Gardens are way too pretty for a description, please don't miss out on this one! Great guide and a beautiful day. Tip: check out which month/s are best to visit the garden if you're really into nature/flowers.

For a last minute trip this was well worth the trip. It was overwhelming and exciting to see our neighbors to the north. It was very gorgeous and amazing. Our tour guide was excellent.

The ferry over to Victoria was beautiful. I recommend going up to the top outside deck. Beautiful scenery. It was very crowded when we went since it was Thanksgiving weekend. We ended up having lunch on the ship at the buffet on the way to Victoria. It really wasn't that much more than the cafe and you had a place to sit. Very good food at the buffet. The island had some neat shops and we watched the street performers by the marina. Our tour guide Alex was awesome. He was very informative and so helpful. The Gardens were beautiful. Amazing all the different flowers, plants and trees. Loved this tour.
