Cool, Clean, and Kind: The Perfect Ride to a Must-See Garden
This shuttle to Butchart Gardens was excellent from start to finish. The vehicle was very clean and nicely air conditioned — a welcome comfort on a warm day. The driver and attendants were kind and genuinely informative, sharing great context along the way. And then there’s the destination itself: Butchart Gardens is spectacular. If you can only visit one place, make it this one — it’s an absolute must-see!

Seaplane is the way to go.
Our seaplane excursion to Victoria and Butchart Gardens was amazing. I highly recommend the seaplane as a way to get around. It was a smooth flight. And, the gardens were spectacular. I highly recommend.

Great tour, except many...
Great tour, except many of us on our tour said we would rather spend more time at the gardens than the city. If the tour company offers a dedicated tour to Butchart Gardens and double the visiting time, it may capture more customers who are interested in horticulture.

Wonderful Experience!!!
This was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Dan, did an amazing job leading this tour. The Butchart Gardens were absolutely incredible. This is a long day but very well worth the time.

Fun day in Victoria
Great experience. This is a long day but worth every minute from the bus ride to the ferry touring Victoria and Butchart Gardens it is a must do! Our guide Rene was so funny and welcoming. He made the whole experience come alive.

Great way to see Vancouver Island & go to the Butchart Gardens.
It was a long day but a great amount of time at each place. Butchart Gardens was certainly a highlight.

Great Ride Out to the Gardens
We used Viator to secure transportation to the Butchart Gardens in downtown Victoria. We walked up from our cruise ship (about 30 minutes via Dallas St. then Government St.--well worth it, as you walk by Emily Carr's childhood home). We also bought Butchart Gardens tickets online and saved a BUNCH of money from the cruise ship excursion price. Our big beautiful bus was driven by a great and informative driver. We had a magical night out at the gardens.

It is a full day from 8 am - 9:45 pm but it’s all very well-managed and there is plenty of down time on the ferry and in Victoria and Butchart Gardens to do whatever you want.

A long tiring day but...
A long tiring day but very well worth the effort. The Butchart Gardens are spectacular and the time spent in Bictoria was lovely. Our driver / guide was Greg who gave a fabulous commentary and really loves the area.

We enjoyed our city of Victoria tour coupled with the Butchart Gardens. Our driver was very knowledgeable and shared many stories about the city. The Gardens are not to be missed! Truly beautiful.
