Itinerario
Por tierra y por mar, experimente la belleza paisajística de la escarpada costa de Columbia Británica, los famosos Butchart Gardens y la hermosa ciudad de Victoria con una visita totalmente guiada elevada. Saliendo de Vancouver, se dirigirá al sur hasta la terminal de Tsawwassen, donde abordará un barco BC Ferries para un viaje de 90 minutos a través de las majestuosas Islas del Golfo. Manténgase atento a la fauna marina, como las águilas calvas, los lobos marinos y las ballenas, que se pueden observar con frecuencia en su hábitat natural.
Después de llegar a la terminal de Swartz Bay en la isla de Vancouver, disfrute de un viaje panorámico a Victoria, la capital de la provincia de Columbia Británica, conocida por sus monumentos arquitectónicos, su pintoresco puerto interior y la abundancia de macizos de flores y cestas colgantes. Tendrá la oportunidad de ver las principales atracciones de la ciudad, incluidos los emblemáticos edificios del Parlamento y el histórico Fairmont Empress Hotel. Tendrá tiempo libre para visitar las tiendas y cafeterías únicas a lo largo de Government Street y la zona culturalmente rica de Chinatown. No dude en dar un paseo por el puerto interior para disfrutar de impresionantes vistas y una mirada a la cultura local.
Pasar el edificio de la Asamblea Legislativa de BC, terminado en 1897. Su cúpula de cobre y su estilo románico se iluminan por la noche con miles de luces, lo que la convierte en uno de los monumentos más emblemáticos de Victoria. Sigue siendo la sede de trabajo del gobierno provincial de Columbia Británica hasta el día de hoy.
Pasea por el emblemático Empress Hotel, construido por el Canadian Pacific Railway como la joya de la corona de Victoria frente al puerto. Sigue siendo uno de los "hoteles ferroviarios" más famosos de Canadá, junto con propiedades hermanas como Banff Springs y Château Frontenac. Hoy en día es famoso por su elegante servicio de té por la tarde, habiendo recibido a la realeza, dignatarios y viajeros de todo el mundo durante más de un siglo.
Nuestro tour a pie termina en Victoria's Chinatown. Data de la era de la fiebre del oro de la década de 1850, cuando los inmigrantes Chinos llegaron para construir el Ferrocarril del Pacífico Canadiense, lo que lo convierte en el barrio chino más antiguo de Canadá. Centrado alrededor de Fan Tan Alley – a menudo citado como una de las calles más estrechas de América del Norte – el distrito fue una vez el hogar de casas de juego, fábricas de opio, y una próspera comunidad de comerciantes. Hoy en día es una vibrante mezcla de arquitectura histórica, tiendas de hierbas y restaurantes que aún refleja más de 150 años de historia.
Después de pasar tiempo explorando Victoria, se dirigirá a los mundialmente conocidos Butchart Gardens. Solo algunas de las palabras que se han utilizado para describir The Butchart Gardens incluyen "impresionante", "asombroso" y "pacífico. Ubicado en la bahía de Brentwood, esta maravilla botánica cuenta con una serie de jardines temáticos, incluyendo el extenso jardín hundido, el jardín japonés, el jardín italiano, el jardín de rosas y la impresionante fuente danzante. Más de un millón de visitantes son atraídos a los jardines cada año.
Continúe su aventura mientras regresa a Swartz Bay para abordar el ferry de regreso a Tsawwassen y regresar a Vancouver. Este tour está totalmente guiado y muestra lo mejor del noroeste del Pacífico y el sur de la isla de Vancouver.

Stephen was an amazing guide! Great history of the area, cool guy and fun stories of not just our tour but others related to the areas we went through! Simran was an expert driver who threaded the needle of Vancouver traffic like a pro!!
Annika was our guide and Tai our driver. Both made the experience incredible. They were talkative and funny, informative and more. You could ask questions and get knowledgeable answers. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with Annika and Tai.
Aimee and Simran were amazing and great energy! Everything was explained and executed perfectly. The gardens beautiful and downtown lovely.
We're so glad you had such an enjoyable day! Aimee and Simran will be delighted to hear their energy and hospitality made such a positive impression. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed both Butchart Gardens and Victoria, and that everything ran smoothly throughout the tour. Thank you for your kind words!
This is the first time I’ve ever written a review for any service, but the unexpectedly wonderful experience my family and I had compelled me to share our gratitude. Matt and Byron of Star Sightseeing made our Victoria and Butchart Gardens trip truly memorable. We were picked up at our hotel right on time and welcomed by Matt’s warm smile as he guided us onto a spacious, modern, and spotless tour bus driven by Byron. The entire day was fun, smooth, and thoroughly enjoyable. Matt, our tour guide, is both funny and knowledgeable. It’s clear he genuinely loves what he does and enjoys connecting with every guest. Byron, though focused on driving, complemented Matt perfectly, offering helpful tips and adding his own lighthearted comments throughout the journey. Traveling with them felt less like being on a tour and more like being guided by two trusted friends.
What an incredible review—thank you for taking the time to share it, especially knowing it's your very first! It means so much to hear Matt and Byron made your family's visit to Victoria and Butchart Gardens such a memorable one. We'll be sure to pass along your thoughtful words to both of them. Creating experiences that feel personal and welcoming is exactly what we strive for, and your feedback truly means the world to our team.
Everyone was very professional and run the tour perfectly. No need to worry about anything and the bus was just amazing
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed a smooth, worry-free experience and appreciated the comfort of our coach. It's wonderful to hear everything ran seamlessly throughout the day. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!
Easy pick-up and great experience overall! Matt and Sukhan were our guide and driver, and they had plenty of interesting stories and personal experiences to share throughout the trip! Sukhan's driving was steady, and Matt handled all the small things and offered water, maps, and anything extra we may have needed. I loved getting to the heart of Victoria early on to get lunch out of the way, and we had nearly 2 hours to explore Butchart Gardens. It was just enough time for us! The cherry on top was the cute souvenir postcards at the end with one-of-a-kind Indigenous art that only STAR Sightseeing has. It was such a thoughtful gift!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We're so pleased to hear Matt and Sukhan helped make your day such an enjoyable one. It's great to know the pace of the tour suited you, and we're especially happy you loved the souvenir postcards—they're a small keepsake we enjoy sharing with our guests.
Great day trip -- day seems long but you cover a lot! Guide (Joe) and driver (Tai) were excellent. The recommendation of getting lunch at Red Fish Blue Fish (which was tasty) took up a lot of time that could have been spent seeing more of Victoria.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Joe and Tai helped make it such a great day. We also appreciate your feedback about the lunch stop. We know time in Victoria is valuable, and comments like yours help us continue refining the experience for future guests.
Pros: easy and convenient tour with hotel pickup Cons: too much time at Butchart Gardens and not enough time in Victoria
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the convenience of our hotel pick-up and had an enjoyable day overall. We also appreciate your comments about the time spent in Victoria and Butchart Gardens, as every guest has different preferences. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving our tours.
Joe our guide and Tai our driver provided a magnificent experience. Courteous and knowledgeable Joe supplied endless facts and insight to the locations we visited stimulating increased interest. Having clearly done his homework Joe had a wheelchair available for my wife’s use. She has worn a leg brace since childhood due to the ravages of polio. This allowed us to take in more than we had anticipated. Needless to say I was overwhelmed. Tai handled the bus like it was a Mini. Due to his skill we hit the ferry coming and going within 10 minutes of embarkation. This not only permitted us an extra hour to share between Victoria and Butchart Gardens but got us home an hour earlier than expected. The only question Joe didn’t know was that juvenile bald eagles have brown heads and are often physically larger than their parents. Joe and Tai both enjoy an A+.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We're especially pleased to hear Joe's preparation helped make the day more comfortable for your wife. We'll also be sure to pass your kind words on to Tai for his excellent driving. It's wonderful to know you were able to make the most of your time in Victoria and Butchart Gardens. Thank you for choosing to tour with us!
It was a long day, but worth it. Annika was very informative and friendly and the bus driver did a great job. The bus was new and very comfortable- The tv that showed the road ahead was very cool. But after the first stop on the ferry, they were no longer on. I texted Annika to see if they could be turned back on but no response (We were in the mid-back of the bus and didn't want to shout) Also, it was a little difficult to hear everything she said. But Victoria is beautiful and the Gardens were amazing. The ferry ride was nice too.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed Victoria, Butchart Gardens, the ferry ride, and the comfort of our new coach. We also appreciate your comments about the onboard screens and audio, and we'll be sure to share them with our team. We're glad Annika helped make the day an enjoyable one overall.
