Victoria & Butchart Gardens: Vancouver's Breathtaking Island Escape

Very efficient and convenient. Tour guide Andy was excellent! Really enjoyable day out! Very informative and beautiful gardens.

From the pickup , the tourist guide / driver was nice and informative, so relaxing because its hassle free, the electrice bus was clean and comfortable, the ship crusing for 1 hr 30 min was amazing, ate at deck 5 food was good, and took videos and pictures on open area , then went to the garden plus we have a stop over in victoria we bought some souveniers and ate it was money worth it thankyou trip visor and the team keep up the good job

My excursion was set up with West Coast Sightseeing. The tour guide & shuttle driver, Bobby Wilson, was excellent! He had a lot of great knowledge, fun facts, and recommendations for restaurants and things to see/do. Even this late in the year, The Butchart Gardens are stunning! I really enjoyed walking through the gardens. We had a decent amount of time to explore Victoria, BC later in the day as well. BC Ferry ride to/from Vancouver Island was fun & a new experience for me. I am glad I booked this excursion through Viator.

Getting across to Victoria and the Butchart gardens was made so easy with this tour. Including a hotel pick up was great at this was our first day after a late arrival. Informative and conversational tour guide on local knowledge.

The gardens were so sensational and definitely have to visit. The downtown Victoria was quaint and bigger than I expected Our driver Anthony was the best!! So happy, helpful and knowledgeable

It rained all day and yet we still had a wonderful time. The rain was light while we walked through the Buchart Gardens. So absolutely beautiful with autumn leaves in reds yellows and oranges. In Victoria we ate at Finns. Nice upscale seafood restaurant that also serves steaks burgers and pizza. We hope to return in the summer to see the gardens that time of year as well. Tour guide was very nice.

We were all planned to use public transport to get to Vancouver Island until our Alex, our concierge at the Pinnacle convinced us to do the tour instead. She was absolutely 100% correct. Bobby, our guide was fantastic. He took us through parts of Vancouver and Victoria we wouldn’t have seen on public transport, he gave us excellent commentaries of the history and “fun facts” (which are pretty funny) and his guidance and instructions were super clear. He even allowed a special stop because I wanted to explore Chinatown. I cannot rate this tour highly enough, it’s a brilliant way to see Vancouver, Vancouver Island and Victoria

It is a long day though thoroughly enjoyable. Our guide, Bobby, was fantastic. He shared all kinds of history and tid bits of information throughout the trip.

We enjoyed our visit to Butchart Gardens & Victoria. Our driver/guide, Bobby (I think his last name was Wilson) was excellent. He told engaging history of the area when there was a lot of driving time or when stopped waiting. He was very clear about times at stops and location of pick ups. Very nice experience. It was a long day but we were prepared for that.

Andy was a great driver and guide to our day. He made everything smooth and easy. The gardens were our highlight. Gorgeous.
