  1. Philip T

    This was a great tour, starting with afriendly, informative tour guide, Mike. He guided us from the ferry to Buchart Gardens in the sunshine, and dropped us at our comfortable hotel.
    We had time during the next day to look round Victoria and themagnificent BC Museum before an unforgettable float plane ride back to Vancouver.
    Everything had gone smoothly until then, but we were then met by the shuttle who refused to take us back to our hotel, and rather than be abandoned in an underground carpark, we had to agree to be dropped at the taxi rank. What a pity tnat the final stage should be so disappointing.

    VIATOR says:
    Hotel pick-up and drop-off. There was no drop-off for us. There was nobody waiting for us at the plane terminal, there was no shuttle.
    We really feel very unsatisfied because of this. And there are more people who have had the same problem.

    Although I enjoyed the trip, there were significant issues that made me feel that this trip was not worth the significant expense… On the positive…the trip was fairly well organized and as advertised. Down sides…van picking us up at the hotel was 30 minutes late. The driver was curt and unfriendly. He took us to our tour guide who was friendly but who clearly was not a native English speaker. He was not aware or familiar with the fact that we were spending the night… most of the guests were doing the day trip. Eventually, he figured it out and got our vouchers. The hotel was sub standard. After three room switches and numerous phone calls, it became clear that the hotel had an upgraded wing… We decided to pay extra for this… It would have been helpful had we known. The difference was huge. Almost as though they were two separate hotels. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was excellent for breakfast, although not inexpensive . Lastly, when we showed up for our float plane,there was fog and planes were being cancelled. I had triple checked on this prior to booking and during the trip as we needed to catch our cross country flight home. I had been told that there was no problem and no need for concern. This was not the case… When I called the vendor to report that the flight plane might be cancelled, I was told that this was not their problem. Luckily, the flight did take off and we got home to the east coast. When I return to Victoria, I will not take this tour.

    The guide was very informed and communicated well. Arrangements were good. We had opted to stay back for one night at victoria and they booked us a great hotel. Also booked for us return by Float plane. Great experience..

    This trip was wonderful! The tour guides were friendly, informative and on time. Everything went smoothly and as advertised, just as in past Viator tours we’ve taken. The hotel we stayed at was beautiful and the city was easily accessible by walking. We could have stayed at the Empress but chose the Inn at Laurel Point and were very happy with the choice. We would highly recommend it.

  7. Patricia F

    The gardens were amazing. We definitely recommend the overnight tour. 2 hours in Victoria is not enough time and it’s a long ride back to Vancouver via the shuttle. We enjoyed the float plane ride back, so much to see.

  8. Amy F

    The two-day Victoria trip was very enjoyable. There wasn’t much guided tour in this package as the tour guide is basically the driver driving us to the pier for the bus to get on the ferry to Victoria. Then he drove us to Butchart Garden where we could just tour around the place ourselves. We were then dropped off at our hotel for checking in and the rest of the first day and the next day were all our free times.
    The hotel chosen for us is very good, very good service and the room is very nice.
    The airplane experience was fantastic.
    The tour was very costy but worth to do it.

  9. Carrye_F

    Well worth it for the additional time to explore Victoria, a highlight of our BC trip, as was the float plane ride back to Vancouver. Highly recommended!

  10. Philip H

    Enjoyable 2 day tour. Most of the people on the your opted for a day trip and I was the only one staying overnight. The float plane return was really good. Tour guide on the first day was really good. I was on my own the second day.

  11. Karen_F

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. From the commentary as we made our way from our pickup to the ferry. The gardens were superb and the Laurel Inn met our expectations ith clean and tidy facilities, very helpful staff and a brilliant view from our room. we were a littlle apprehensive about the float plane flight back, but it,also, was thrilling.
    The only disappointment was that as we were in Vancouver and paid in Canadian dollars with our cash currency card, we found later when the card ran out of money, that the amount quoted in Canadian dollars was converted to U.S dollars, so cost us more and depleted the card sooner than it should have. Please be aware of this.

    Liked the ferry ride from Vancouver to Victoria. The Butchart gardens were beautiful. We were at the gardens for 2 hours, wish we had an hour more. Enjoyed walking around downtown Victoria and the harbor. The Inn at Laurel Point was very nice.

  13. Mark_G

    Great package, hotel at Laurel Point was very comfortable and great location. Bus driver very knowledgeable. Butchart Gardens just breathtaking. Float Plane back was highlight too. So easy with awesome views.

  14. Moira_B

    An amazing experience but spoilt by the lack of information from the Tour Operator. We are flying back by sea plane but absolutely no information given as to flight time. We had to find out from Harbour Sea Planes which flight we were booked on. Also no voucher readily available for taxi transfers to the hotel. All in all chaotic.

  15. Mairead_S

    Really enjoyed the trip. Lovely to sit back and relax. Communication was excellent, lovely hotel and great location. Flight back to Vancouver was a highlight. Stunning views and very smooth flight.

  16. Ricky

    Very disorgnised tour. Seaplane back to Vancouver was not booked which the hotel had to book for us last minute. Prepaid-Taxi did not arrive to take us from the hotel to the seaplane departure so we walk with our luggage that took 20mins. No bus to take us back to hotel after the end of the tour and we had to book our own uber. Bus driver had no idea and viator did not respond to emails. Highly recommended not booking this tour.

  17. Yvonne_P

    Beautiful Buchart Garden, scenic ride by coach and ferry. Comfortable stay at Laura Point Inn and exciting flight by seaplane from Victoria to Vancouver.

  18. Sandra_r

    Excellent hotel room. One of the best ever. Beautiful part of the world. Very welcoming. Perfect weather helps, but would be worth the trip anytime.

  19. TonyDeNunzio

    The bus was so hot from the moment of pick up at 850 the driver finally turned theAC on but it only blew hot air. We met two other busses downtown and their riders got on our hot bus only making it hotter. Not sure why we did not change busses at this time. There was no discussion from our driver back to base once on the island the bus was still and the driver kept the front windows UP At the last stop we were told to stay on the bus because we were staying overnight everyone got off including the driver as the other passengers walked away the driver came back to the bus and locked the door from the outside and started to walk away. I banged on the window and he came back saying he FORGOT about us. He then headed to our hotel and made several wrong turns before we arrived the hotel and flight back was fine

  20. Tasha_R

    This was kind of a splurge for us, but overall we think it was a great value, and we were surprised at the quality of the hotel. Herman was a wonderful guide full of knowledge, very helpful, and just fun to spend the day with. If you have the chance, do this overnight tour rather than just the one day trip….it was so worth the extra time to explore.
