Victoria City Tour & Butchart Gardens from Vancouver

What your day looks like

Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, is a breathtaking destination on Vancouver Island, consistently ranked as one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Known as the "City of Gardens," this lush, oceanfront escape offers a seamless blend of natural splendor and rich British heritage. Your journey begins with a scenic ferry ride across the Salish Sea, providing stunning coastal views before you arrive to explore the city's most iconic landmarks. From the historic charm of the Inner Harbour and the majestic Fairmont Empress Hotel to the cultural depth of Canada’s oldest Chinatown and the symbolic Mile 0, you will experience the very best of Victoria’s storied past and vibrant present. The highlight of your excursion is an immersive visit to the world-renowned Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site of Canada featuring over 900 plant species. You will have ample time to wander through the meticulously themed floral displays that keep the city in bloom year-round. Following the gardens, enjoy the flexibility of a small-group setting—limited to just 24 guests—allowing for a more personalized experience as you shop, dine, and discover hidden gems in the downtown core at your own pace. A visit to the Pacific Northwest is truly incomplete without witnessing the elegance and floral artistry of Victoria.
