Melanie was a great guide...

Private and Customizable Experience

Molly_F, Jun 2025

We loved having this private tour since we were a party of 7 traveling with an infant. Lynda was an awesome guide who really cared about us having a great experience. We loved arriving at the Gardens before the cruise ship crowds so we had the whole place to ourselves initially. Only wish was that our cruise ship was docked longer so we could have explored more. 100% recommend this tour for anyone visiting Victoria for the day.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your nice review Molly! I am so glad you enjoyed your tour of Victoria and visit to the Butchart Gardens. I hope you will come back to Victoria and spend more time in this beautiful city!

Our tour guide Linda was the best! She was very sweet, extremely knowledgeable about the city. Our cruise itinerary changed last minute and she was very flexible and patient with us. We had a wonderful experience!
