Smooth pickup at the pre-arranged Hotel downtown Vancouver. Tour guide David O’Brien was professional, competent driver, teacher, entertainer and all around good guy. Well worth the price! Butchart Gardens is off the charts! See the Sunken Gardens there. Cherry gelato at the gardens for the win.

I traveled solo, I met many interesting folks on the ferry ride, had conversations with folks on the bus and in the ferry line while waiting for the ferry, and while it was a long day the garden was spectacular. The garden is fairly compact so seeing it all in two hours is easily manageable if you are reasonably fit.
Lovely Victoria

The Gardens were magnificent. Dan gave us all of the history of Butchart as we were driving and also made suggestions on those areas that were “must-see.” The visit to Victoria was enjoyable as well. We had lunch at a harbor side restaurant, checked out the Empress and walked the streets.
Stunning

The entire tour was amazing but what topped it off was our guide Dan. He was so professional and courteous. On the long bus ride he educated us about everything we were seeing along the way and interesting points we’d want to know about Vancouver. Loved it!
Oh right! The Gardens were gorgeous. Just gorgeous!
Awesome Day

Dan was a terrific driver and tour guide. The bus was clean and comfortable. Butchart Gardens and Victoria were fabulous. Loved the ferry. Long but worthwhile day
We got our money's worth.
Would suggest the driver ask noisy, chatty people to whisper. It was sometimes hard to hear Dan, and he gave an excellent commentary along the way.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
