Excellent Tour Company
Butchart Gardens is lovely and Victoria is a very pretty and clean city. Andrea is a very informative tour guide. West Coast Travel was the tour company. Kudos to them. I inadvertently left my wallet on the bus, and they called me the next morning and delivered it to me at my hotel.

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!

Butchart Gardens Tour with Linda
We really enjoyed this tour! Linda was great! The Butchart Gardens were beautiful, and we really enjoyed our time there. But we also enjoyed seeing other parts of Victoria. Linda was wonderful, and let us make what we wanted out of the rest of the time we had outside of the garden. She took us wherever we wanted around Victoria, and took us to some other beautiful and historical sights around the city. We appreciated her insight and local knowledge! I would highly recommend Linda!

A must see on Vancouver...
A must see on Vancouver Island. The Butchart Gardens in mid-October with bright with colors, the red maples and the dahlias were especially awe-inspiring. I'm going to return in the summer for the roses. I dreamt in color the night I got back.

Wonderful adventure!
From the stunning scenery of harbor islands while on the ferry, to the breathtaking Butchart Gardens, to top quality fish & chips on Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria, it was a wonderful adventure!

Beautiful Victoria and Butchart Gardens
The Viator tour by Surfside Adventure Tours with guide Richard was wonderful. He picked us up at the cruise terminal and showed us the highlights of Victoria and the countryside around it. He is very knowledgeable, calm and accommodating. The Butchart Gardens are incredibly beautiful as are Victoria and the coast and countryside. Highly recommend this company and the tour.

Bus ride to Butchart Gardens
Excellent experience driving to and from Butchart Gardens
The driver was very knowledgeable about Victoria and surrounding areas. The sound was good and the driver could be clearly heard.

Although it’s a long day,...
Although it’s a long day, it’s a great experience: pleasant ride to the ferry (with a very informative commentary by the guide/driver (Andrea, in our case) followed by an unique, beautiful walk through Butchart Gardens and a subsequent mini tour of Victoria (again, with a guided commentary), an opportunity to to explore downtown Victoria, and ending with the return to Vancouver via bus, ferry, and shuttle. Highly recommended.

This tour was well...
This tour was well organized and thorough. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us a great experience in Victoria and the Butchart Gardens. I would highly recommend this day trip from Vancouver!

Although understandable,...
Although understandable, too much time was spent getting to and from Victoria from Vancouver pick-up. So little time to even get to, much less visit Victoria sites other than Butchart Gardens.
