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

The gardens at Butchart are amazing. Our guide and driver, Alex, did a great job of narrative on how things evolved through the different areas of Vancouver and Victoria and went out of his way to accommodate everyone. A long day but worth it.

We appreciated the smoothness of connections and the flexibility our driver, Herman, had when we told him we were staying in Richmond and preferred not returning all the way to Canada Pl after the trip. He took us to a local Richmond hotel where we got a taxi back, saving us lots of time and money, and not really inconveniencing the other travelers. Herman also gave an interesting and informative talk as we traveled--much appreciated.

Pleasant trip.
Tania_D
, Aug 2022
The tour was good and our driver was very informative and courteous and the electric bus was comfortable. Pick up locations were convenient. Seating on the bus could be rotated so everyone gets a chance to sit in a different spot. The ferry ride was enjoyable but recommend carry your snacks and lunch to avoid standing in long queues at the ferry cafeteria. Most of the time, on this tour was spent getting to the destination. I would have liked more time at the gardens and their beautiful gift shop. Victoria was deserted due to the long weekend, I guess, and at Chinatown we had to cancel our order after being seated for half an hour. The staff in the restaurant informed us that they were short staffed in the kitchen, cooler was broken and it would take another half hour to serve us. I would recommend a self drive for this tour for those who can do it and just spend the whole day at the gardens.
