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.

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.

The coach driver on this trip was excellent, telling us lots of interesting information and also very amusing. Butchart Gardens are beautiful but so busy with other tours it is difficult to find a quiet spot to appreciate them properly.
