The trip to Victoria was... - The trip to Victoria was a special excursion. We loved our guide Leslie who made all instructions clear and humorous. He taught us much throughout the day and remained most courteous. Butchart Gardens was a delight with the Christmas lights and 12 days of Christmas theme. Would love to return in the spring. Traveling by ferry was a breeze. It was a 5 star day!

Amazing Tour !! - Jack our tour guide was Amazing! He kept us informed about Victoria Island, what to expect, what to look for and what not to miss! He made sure we all had the bus schedule and times to board and meet, he was informative, energetic and entertaining, every destination we were heading to, he talked about what to expect, if you have a choice choose Jack at Westciast Sightseeing!

Gorgeous gardens and a lovely town with a great guide - Our driver and guide Steve was fantastic. Knowledgeable and funny with good Dad jokes thrown in too. The trip was well paced and we got to spend a good amount of time at the gardens and in town.

A fascinating day out - A long day out but worth every minute. I had lovely weather so the ferry trip was very enjoyable. I paid a very small extra fee to sit in the luxury lounge with free coffee and snacks. Butchart Gardens are very beautiful with plenty of different garden areas to see..my favourite was the Japanese garden. Victoria is lovely - not too large and easy to walk around on my own. Very happy I fitted this trip in during my visit

Great gardens but most of the day is traveling. - Great time but a very long day of travel. Figure on 13 hours during which only 1 1/2 hours are in the beautiful gardens and the same amount of time in Victoria. Even at the end of October, obviously not peak season, Butchart holds its own versus other botanical gardens. Victoria was nothing special, although that may be a function of the limited time we had.

8hrs travel - 4 hrs sighteeing - 8 hrs of travel by bus/ferry for 4 hrs of sightseeing (including lunch). Not worth it. It becomes even worse if it is raining since you can't really walk around in the rain in Victoria (though they give light umbrellas in Buchart Gardens)
