Amazing Garden
Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island is truly a breathtaking place and an unforgettable experience. The beautifully landscaped gardens, vibrant flowers, peaceful pathways, and stunning Sunken Garden show an incredible level of care and attention to detail. Every corner has something beautiful to discover, making it a wonderful place to relax, enjoy nature, and take in the scenery. A must visit destination on Vancouver Island.

Great attraction for the family.
Really nice activity to do, nice boardwalk trail to get to the tower, fun (easy) walk up and the netting & slide added a bit of excitement! Lovely place to stop for a coffee, and made even better when you pair it with breakfast at the incredible Villa Eyrie hotel.

The tour was great. Andy...
The tour was great. Andy is an excellent guide and did a wonderful job providing the history of Victoria. The food, at every restaurant that he took us to, was perfect and delicious. I will definitely tell others about his tour. I will definitely visit the restaurants when I come back to Victoria.

Fun day filled with interesting facts and sights
We had a very pleasant day. Ken was our driver/tour guide, and he was very personable. He set our expectations from the start, and we had a wonderful day. Once we got to the ferry and arrived in Victoria, he drove us to the Butchart Gardens. He walked in with us, got our tickets, and took us to see some of the most popular areas. He asked if we wanted a funny or romantic picture, and we selected funny. It was great, and he knew how to pose us for the best pictures. We were then left on our own to explore the gardens.
Afterwards, he took us to the oldest Chinatown located in Victoria and then to downtown Victoria, where we went to the Empress Hotel and had High Tea. During these driving times, he explained the history of the Butchart family and gardens and the history of Victoria.
It was a wonderful, interesting day filled with sights and commentary that we really appreciated hearing and learning.

Fantastic
Our captain and guide really worked together a a great show - and they delivered. We saw over 20 orcas and 5 humpbacks. The humpbacks really put on a performance - breaching and tail slapping many times. Tom, our guide, provided lots of interesting information along the way.

Great ghost stories and masterful storytelling.
Our guide was a great historian and an excellent storyteller. The tales were fascinating and full of interesting anecdotes. We highly recommend it. The city of Victoria is a great city for ghost stories and our guide brought them to life. Highly recommended.

Amazing 2 hour tour of Victoria!
I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our short time in Victoria! John texted the day prior telling where to meet once we were off the boat. He arrived on time and did a complete tour of the city in 2 hours. He narrated the drive and had a slideshow with photos included. We saw several wildlife, took amazing photos, and felt like we learned a great deal about Victoria’s history. I highly recommend!!!

Beautiful scenery, sightings of seals, eagles, orcas & humpback whales if lucky. Bonus having naturalists as crew.
You do need to wear warm clothes as it’s windy & cold when travelling to the sightings and nice to have warm drinks.
We were lucky to see a pod of orcas & 2 humpbacks, not every trip is so lucky. Having two naturalists on board sharing their expertise and stories is well worth the trip even if you do t see any whales.

Exciting water thrill ride with some whales peeks
The ride on the zodiac is pretty exhilarating. It is bumpy and you could get pretty wet (though not soaked, so wallet and phone should be ok).
The whale watching is so-so since you are pretty close to the surface of the water. But we did see some whales from a distance.

A two hour sampling of Victoria's culinary diversity!
Vasi was our guide. Can't say enough about her! Knowledgeable, gracious, and shear delight. Loved her! Diversity of culinary selections was impressive. Sampling of food crossed regional boundaries, both locally and globally. The tour is well worth it. I give it my highest recommendation.

Highly recommended
Fabulous experience from checking in to the flight. Checking in was easy and comfortable lounge. Great staff helping us onto plan.
Flight was longer than we thought, starting at Inner Harbour and then flying over City. Only downside is if the pilot had pointed out things we were flying over but then we would have needed earphones.
Highly recommended

These ghost walks are our yearly tradition.
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our Ghostly Tours Halloween walk. Our guide was very professional and made the entire experience a lot of fun. Her stories of old town Victoria's haunted past kept us looking over our shoulders all night. These ghost walks have become a tradition that we eagerly anticipate every year.
