Traveler Tips

  • "Be aware that there is no time allocated to lunch, you will need to use either your time at the garden or at Victoria to do that." See review
  • "If you only have 1 day to spend, Id recommend this tour over driving and figuring out everything on your own, as you wont be able to be as efficient, carefree, and see as much in 14 hours." See review

Victoria tour

I do not recommend this tour not unless you enjoy waiting. The stop in Victoria was only an hour and a half. We had to wait almost an hour each way for the ferry. Butchard Gardens was excellent though.

We are disappointed that you did not enjoy your entire day. We do travel a long way to Victoria and some waiting does occur especially for the ferries as we are required to be at the terminals at a certain time prior to boarding. The bulk of our time is spent at Butchart Gardens and we are pleased you enjoyed them. We too wish we could stay longer in Victoria but the ferry schedules do dictate when we need to return to Vancouver.

It was amazing! The bus driver Mr. Alex talked like a history professor who is knowledgeable and eloquent. He should be paid double, he completely deserves it!!! He gave a lot of background information on Vancouver and Victoria island. The trip was well organised and the time was managed very well. Overall we enjoyed our trip very much and would recommend to everyone!!

In spite of a delayed start on the ferry in the morning which caused slightly shortened time at Butchart Gardens snd downtown Victoria, then a much-delayed return on the ferry, our guide Alex stayed good-humored and kind and kept everyone well-informed and at ease.
