Victoria and Butchart Gardens 1-Day In-Depth Tour from Vancouver

Marie_H, Jul 2026

A good long day

It is a long day. Expect a 12 hour day from start to finish. Most of it will be spent on the road or ferry. However, Alan, our guide was very kind, outgoing and accommodating to everyone’s needs. The markets at the ferry stations have an eclectic mix of shops and food stalls so you should be able to find something for everyone in your group. The ferry ride was pleasant and relaxing in both directions. The cafeteria line can get long so line up early. If you are just wanting a salad, sandwich or pre-prepared items (fruit, etc) on the ferry, you can skip the long line and just grab these items and pay. Butchart gardens was a wonderful way to spend 2 hours walking amongst the beautifully manicured grounds. My only regret is that there was only time enough to spend an hour in Victoria. Overall, a long but worthwhile experience.

Sara_M, Jul 2026

Day trip to Whistler.

It was a wonderful excursion especially with our guide and driver, Alex. He added so much background and context to what we were seeing. We especially enjoyed the Capalino visit. I’m sure the falls were pretty but we fixing have time to walk far enough up the trail hi see them.

Rose_Y, Jul 2026

Exceptional

You need to schedule more than two hours! Unfortunately we were on a tour with a group from Vancouver BC but the package only allowed us 2 hours. Your gardens are absolutely exquisite. I will return, stay in Victoria and spend the whole day enjoying your stunning gardens. Love your gardens and can’t wait to return

Savanna_G, Jul 2026

Great!

This was a very comprehensive and helpful tour! We appreciated seeing so much of Vancouver since we only had one evening there before a cruise. Our driver was Navid, and he did a fantastic job ensuring our safety, narrating what we were seeing, and optimizing photo opportunities. I would book this tour company again.

Marvelous day in Victoria and the Butchard Gardens!

My parents, aunts and I had a fabulous time today! Our guide Joe was knowledgeable and entertaining, while our driver Maggie had impeccable timing. We really appreciate the free time we had in Victoria, as well as in the Butchard Gardens. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Awesome Alex!

It was a wonderful introductory tour of Vancouver. Alex was a terrific guide with enthusiasm and historic knowledge. We appreciated all he shared about Vancouver and the tips he gave for further exploring on our own. He is a very professional driver and navigated tight driving conditions with ease. Alex is the best!

Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver

Paul_H, Jul 2026

What an amazing...

What an amazing experience! Herman, our guide, was fantastic. He is ery knowledgeable about the area and also about the attractions we visited. The salmon hatchery was a cool first stop to get the day started. Capilano suspension bridge was absolutely amazing, and the whole park was awesome. Clif walk was worth it. Grouse mountain was also super cool - so many things to do. One thing - if you want to do any of the paid things (zip line, ropes, or gravity coaster), then make arrangements ahead of time if possible. The coaster wait time was quite long so also keep that in mind. The tour moved smoothly and if you walk at a decently quick pace then there's enough time to do a lot of cool things. All in all 10/10, highly recommend doing this trip!

It was a long day, but we...

It was a long day, but we saw beautiful Butchart Gardens and had adequate time to take it all in. We had a nice meal in Victoria and a nice stroll around the city. The time on the bus was lengthy, but our driver Steve shared so much history that the time went quickly. Highly recommend the tour!

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park Ticket

diane_s, Jun 2026

Senior who experienced stiff hips after walking so many stairs.

Go early before it gets busy. The tree bridges get back to back people which ruin the beauty of the pictures. Don’t go on a weekend. Lots of stairs. If you have issues with knees or hips don’t go. They do offer senior discounts. It’s a majestic place. They have outstanding ice cream! Also have a great restaurant. If you drive you will pay $9.00 to park across the street.

Whistler Tour from Vancouver + Sea to Sky Gondola + Shannon Falls

Julie_S, Jun 2026

Lovely day out..

We had a fabulous experience on the Sea to Sky Gondola tour! Our driver, Eion, was amazing. He kept us safe throughout the trip and was very informative. While he’s not a tour guide, he provided a wonderful narrative experience that made the journey even more enjoyable. Our first stop was Shannon Falls, which was beautiful. We then headed to the Sea to Sky Gondola. Once we reached the top, the views were absolutely incredible! There is a restaurant area and a small suspension bridge to walk across. We spent about 1.5 hours there, which was the perfect amount of time to take everything in. After that, we drove to Whistler and stopped in Whistler Village. It’s a very pretty place with lots of shops and restaurants. We spent three hours there, which I personally felt was a little long, but if you’re a shopper, you’ll probably love it. I can also imagine it would be an amazing experience in the winter watching all the skiers. Overall, it was a fantastic day, and I highly recommend this tour. And if you get Eion as your driver, that’s definitely a bonus!

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Granville Island & Stanley Park

Ray_H, Jun 2026

City tour June 2026

This is a wonderful way to gain an extensive overview of Vancouver. A lot of history, interesting facts, and stops at the key sites! Our tour guide, Em, was outstanding. The totem poles at Stanley Park were most interesting and the Market variety & size were impressive! Visiting downtown during the FIFA World Cup, and seeing the excitement, was exhilarating. Weather is beautiful as is the city. Thoroughly enjoyable & we highly recommend this tour.
