Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and articulate. Good sense of humour and genuine love for his job
The Butchart Gardens are breathtaking. Each time we rounded a corner we were treated to a beautiful sight. Highly recommend going there and spending a minimum of two hours there.
I will start by saying I went to the gardens 50 years ago and they have only gotten better. Building four distinct gardens were Jennie Butchart’s answer to her her husband’s quarry business of Portland cement mining which left a scared landscape close by. Lots of planning, topsoil, plants, hardscape and now the fourth generation’s love of this treasure’s longevity. Days are long in the summer and if you stay for the evening’s entertainment they light the Sunken Garden, Rose Garden, Japanese Garden and the Italian Gardens up with colored lights for a totally different experience at night. A twofer! Plan an extra day at least for the gardens and Victoria. Second largest Chinatown after San Francisco. The Empress Hotel is stunning for a drink in the bar or high tea. Anthony was our very knowledgeable local with years of experience, historical knowledge, and where to see and eat. Anthony gets five stars too ⭐️
Anthony was your guide/driver. He was excellent.
Be prepared to be in awe of the beauty of Buschart Gardens! Dave was a great bus driver / city guide.
Overall, this was a really enjoyable experience which we'd absolutely recommend. So the negative part first. Our pick up was 820am. We were outside the hotel at 755am. Apparently the pickup had been changed to facilitate an earlier ferry. We had received no notification. Our guide seemed more keen to explain the lengths he'd gone to find us rather than apologise for the poor admin. At Butchart gardens we were advised we'd be leaving at 2pm. After a third of the bus got off, this was changed to 230pm. On arriving back at the bus at 155pm after a rushed visit ( ferry delayed) we found the bus locked. Again no apology for this. This was a long day, with around 2 hours in both Butchart and Victoria. But both of these places are absolutely worth the visit so you may have to accept that there might be some bumps in the road in undertaking this tour. Whilst we found our guide lacking in some areas, they were especially knowledgeable and kept a steady interesting flow of information going during the long journey both there and back. We thought this part was excellent. The gardens especially are quite stunning and this time of year, the flowers are in virtually full colour making this a spectacular display. We did feel rushed, especially around Butchart but on balance thought that it was worth what we had paid for this trip.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed visiting both Butchart Gardens and Victoria, and that you found the commentary throughout the journey informative and engaging. We are sorry to hear about the confusion surrounding your hotel pickup. When pickup times are adjusted, updated information is provided to guests through the booking platform. We understand how frustrating it is when those updates are not received, and we recommend contacting Viator so they can review why the notification did not reach you. We also appreciate your comments regarding the timing at Butchart Gardens. While ferry schedules and operational changes can occasionally require adjustments throughout the day, we understand that this can feel rushed and appreciate you sharing your experience. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing Westcoast Sightseeing. We are glad you found the tour worthwhile overall and hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future.
It was a long day, but we saw beautiful Butchart Gardens and had adequate time to take it all in. We had a nice meal in Victoria and a nice stroll around the city. The time on the bus was lengthy, but our driver Steve shared so much history that the time went quickly. Highly recommend the tour!
