Worth the time and money! - We were worried to take one full day out of our vacation considering Butchart Gardens in early March might not be worth it. Wow were we wrong! It was absolutely gorgeous and 2 hours was almost not enough time to see it all. This was one of the most beautiful places we have seen - heavenly! And Bobby was such a wonderful guide! Patient, informative, and he answered all of our questions! Highly recommend this experience!

Andrea was a great guide.... - Andrea was a great guide. Lots of driving and ferry riding for 3 1/2 hours of actual sightseeing in our 13 hour tour. If it wasn’t raining the ferry ride would her been part of the sightseeing. All good in all.

A little piece of heaven - A must see, you cannot believe the beauty of the garden. We were lucky to be there when the tulips were in bloom. We also had lunch which l found to be just OK, but served its purpose. The gardens is move of a huge park with so many areas to explore!

Beautiful Day at the gardens, go! - The tour is a full day adventure but it is worth it to leave get out on the ferry and experience Victoria! Just gorgeous views, nice people. September was perfect weather too. The gardens are pristine. I wish we had more time there. Wear good walking shoes. It was a bit crowded but not too bad. There is even a carousel for kids (and adults). Enjoy.

Victoria Island Day Trip 3/14/2026 - The tour was great, Dave Rogers was a good driver. Vancouver Island is gorgeous and the Buchart Gardens was incredible. Had a chance to get a pint and bite at Darcy's Pub. Excellent food. Only ducking 1 star due to not having a single drop off and pick off point for the trip. Poor Dave going thru Friday night downtown Vancouver traffic wasn't fair to him as the driver and extended everyone's already long day.
