Victoria & The Butchart Gardens:Deluxe City and Garden Experience

Allyson_N, Oct 2026

Great way to see Victoria!

We booked this tour to see as much of Victoria as we could in 1 day, and it did not disappoint! Our guide, Alan, was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing history and local information as he drove us around the city. We made stops at all the important locations, Alan even made time to take us to a local market and Tim Hortons to try the Timbits! We felt like he listened and tried to take us places we really wanted to see! We were able to hop out at most locations and Alan was happy to take group pictues for us! The van was spacious and very clean, Alan provided waters for us, and he was a very good driver! I would highly recommend this tour! Ask for Alan! He's the best!

Worth your time and money

This was a fun easy bike tour pedaling around Victoria. The sun was out and we were on our way. Ali was fun with lots of information on history of buildings, architects. The shop was flexible with our scheduled tour and due to the downpour of rain we were able to reschedule a day later when the sun came out. Definitely recommend.

Best way to see the Gardens and the city of Victoria!

We searched high and low for a way to be able to get to the gardens because our cruise wasn’t slotted to come in until 3pm. This was the best option and it turned out great! Linda was an amazing tour guide. She got us to the gardens promptly so we could enjoy as much time as possible there. Afterwards we were able to see the city and she was very knowledgeable. She let us go at our own pace. I would recommend this tour for those with limited time at the port. You really do get to see the best of Victoria!

Not to be missed

Wish we had done this tour years ago. Andy showed us so many hidden spots and culinary gems that we would never have found without him. The portions are generous at the food stops so come hungry. This is an extremely well run tour and you can tell Andy has a warm relationship with the shop owners. It is well worth your time and the price of admission.

The Butchart Gardens Express Shuttle from Downtown Victoria

Carrie_R, Sept 2026

The best way to get to/from Butchart Gardens

The double-decker bus to/from Butchart Gardens couldn't have been easier! Pickup/drop off is directly in front of the Empress Hotel. The drivers are informative and funny. Definitely recommend this. We took a 10-minute shuttle from the cruise terminal that dropped off about 1.5 blocks from this pickup point. It gives flexibility to stay as long (or as little) as you want at the gardens.

Excellent Guide!

We docked late and had limited time but Fatih waited for us to get off the ship and continually reminded us that his job was to keep track of our time and our job was to enjoy ourselves. He knew so much about the area and was excited and passionate about sharing as much information as possible in the short amount of time we ended up having together. He was fun and engaging as he took us to the areas around the city. We genuinely enjoyed ourselves throughout the tour. Fatih made us want to come back and visit when we have more time. We would absolutely request him as a guide again!

What a lovely weekend....

What a lovely weekend. Our driver/guide, Claira, was really knowledgeable and engaging. She was enthusiastic and young, and obviously loves her job and Victoria. What a joy! The ride was comfortable, informative and absolutely stunningly beautiful. So happy we did it at sunset. There was a nice big cozy blanket to keep us warm.

Fabulous rush, the time zipped by!

Very well organized and safety-conscious. Our guides, Kira and Jo, were funny and engaging, very encouraging of anyone with jitters. We all felt confident in their ability to handle any situation, and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The facility itself is very organized, clean and well run. It was a great couple of hours!

Great tour with John

We had a great time with John on our private evening tour in Victoria! We had a group of 10, and the van was fantastic. It can hold up to 19 people, so with just 10 of us, there was plenty of room to spread out and relax. The van was very comfortable, and the price was really reasonable — only $660 for our whole group, plus the admission to Butchart Gardens. John gave us a beautiful drive up the coast on the way to Butchart Gardens, which took about 40 minutes. When we arrived, he walked in with us and gave us a quick overview of the gardens and helped us get oriented. We were originally supposed to have an hour and a half at Butchart Gardens, but our group decided we’d rather have more time to explore Victoria. An hour was actually plenty of time for us to see the gardens, and John was very flexible and worked with what our group wanted to do. John was friendly, easygoing, and very accommodating. We really enjoyed having a private tour instead of being on a big bus with a large group. Everything went smoothly, and it was a great way to see some of the area. We would definitely recommend John and would happily book another tour with him!

Victoria Wine Tour with Wine Tastings and Charcuterie

Thomas_A, May 2026

Rocky start but great overall

We were supposed to go to Cowichan valley, but the Malahat had an accident and we would have been delayed several hours, so our guide pivoted and arranged 2 wineries and a cidery in Saanich. It was a great trip. Guide was very informative. Both vineyards were great. The cidery was good but the staff there could have been a little more informative.
