Review of the Vancouver to Victoria and Butchart Gardens tour, with ferry views, free time, costs, timing, guides, and practical booking tips.

“It rained all day and yet we still had a wonderful time. The rain was light while we walked through the Buchart Gardens. So absolutely beautiful with autumn leaves in reds yellows and oranges. In Victoria we ate at Finns. Nice upscale seafood restaurant that also serves steaks burgers and pizza. We hope to return in the summer to see the gardens that time of year as well. Tour guide was very nice.”

Review of the Vancouver to Victoria and Butchart Gardens tour, with ferry tips, timing, costs, guides, highlights, and honest drawbacks.

“We really enjoyed this trip overall. Our driver, Ian, was delightful very informative and had entertaining stories about Canada especially British Columbia in Vancouver. The amount of time in Victoria is too short, especially if you have lunch. We wish we had planned to spend the night in Victoria to be able to see more of the city. We recommend planning your time in the city before you leave the bus. The time at Buchart Gardens was adequate to enjoy seeing all of the beautiful grounds that are absolutely spectacular.”

Review the Vancouver to Victoria seaplane day trip, including Butchart Gardens, flight views, timing, cost, transport, and practical booking tips.

“We thoroughly enjoyed both the seaplane and the Butchart Gatdens. And we had picture perfect weather. The only “snag” was that we were back in town by 3:00 and our plane didn’t leave until 6:00. And because we booked through Viator we were not allowed to change flights.”

“Guide barely spoke English. Had obviously not guided at the sights he was taking us to before. He wanted to know everyone's exact age to enter Buchard garden, all they cared about was adult or child. We lost the day due to his lack of language and training. We never got to Victoria”
