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.”

5.Butchart Gardens and Victoria Sightseeing Tour from Vancouver

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 564 reviews · 13 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $234Top rated

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.”
