Traveler Reviews

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.

Love the colors of autumn in the garden. It is absolutely breath taking! The experience is a must see especially in autumn.

The gardens were fantastic- a great place to meander. Even in the middle of October plants we’re in bloom and the grounds are stunning. I’d like to come back in summer!

Everything was perfect beautiful great experience lovely we love the garden and most incredible thing was when they make the bridge between Vancouver and Victoria to cruise the island first time we experience our trip was amazing we meet great people

Gorgeous place , must see I will recommend it to everyone. More time needed to see it all And to have a tea or a bite in bits gorgeous restaurant
