Our driver was punctual, friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. The gardens were amazing. I'd seen photos that made the displays look a bit garish but in person, it is truly magical. The lights are cleverly displayed and enhance the garden beautifully. The '12 days of Christmas' was a fun addition and kids really seemed to enjoy looking for the next 'day'. Hot bev were available to purchase so wandering the grounds with spiced cider was lovely. The time provided was more than enough and the bus was available to take us back at the time promised. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Beautiful setting. Well maintained. Many wonderful memories.
Wonderful place to visit.
Although I booked the noon pick-up for the Butchart Gardens, I was able to get on an earlier bus. It's nice that they are flexible with the time, as it makes it very convenient for the traveler. During the bus trip to the Gardens, the driver gives you some history and interesting facts regarding Victoria and the Butchart Gardens. That is the "tour" portion.
Outstanding tour! Our tour guide was very knowlegable of the Victoria area. Butchart Gardens was as pretty in the fall as in summer. I would recommend the tour to everyone!
Beautiful gardens with a sweet history. I would suggest staying the evening when a band is playing to soak up the ambiance of the garden.
This is the best and easiest way to see Butchart Gardens from Victoria. Everything is included in the price, including your entrance tickets – just sit back and enjoy the ride on a new and clean motorcoach. Our Driver Dave was very nice and provided some city history and highlights on the way the Gardens. You can choose to return on any of the shuttles back to Victoria, so you can stay for any length of time that you want. This made our visit very relaxing as we didn’t need to “hurry” to catch a specific departure. Don’t make the mistake of taking a Taxi – they are very expensive since its 30 mins each way from Victoria City Center.
We tied this tour in with a seaplane flight from Vancouver as we only had a day to visit the island. The tour was extremely good with just the right amount of time allowed at Butchart Gardens to take in all beauty of the scenery there. A highly recommended tour that can be done on a day visit from Vancouver.
It fulfilled our desire to see exactly what we wanted, and the driver was very well informed and had an excellent sense of humor.
Very nice, gardens were beautiful, easy bus ride...everything was great.
Had a great time.
We were concerned about making our 200 pm tour to Butchart Gardens because we were taking the 1215 ferry from Port Angeles and had to first stow our luggage at our hotel. We couldn't have been more pleased when we were greeted upon arrival in Victoria by reps who took our luggage to our hotel and pointed us to a bus that would take us to the starting point for our tour. The Gardens were magnificent and the whole experience was wonderful.
great trip the driver was so informative and extra nice.
Our family enjoyed the trip to the Butchart Gardens. They always are working to keep the plants healthy with a few in bloom. It was nice to have tickets prior to our trip. Nice for those who like to plan ahead.
While it is worthwhile to visit the gardens, the time we were alloted was not enough. We barely had over an hour, and to do it justice would have required at least twice as long. There were not many options, but our driver did let us know what was available.
