Butchart Gardens Tours

The gardens were breathtaking. Worth the trip.

This is the most beautiful gardens we have been to. We didn't see a weed or a spent blossom anywhere

Don't buy tickets to Buchart Gardens on-line before you go. We did & then decided to go on whale watching/Butchart Gardens tour & haven't been able to get refund yet for tickets we bought on-line. Otherwise, Gardens are the best in the world!

While the city bus has the right price, a tour bus with pick up and drop off at the Empress was the way to go.

The dinner was overly done. Too much salt. Not sure if they use iodized table salt. Should minimize and use table salt. Had to have it redone with no sauce. Both lunch and tea was too salty. The experience was delightful— were it not for the salt. I recommend the cafeteria for creating your own.

We went to the Garden in the late afternoon and stayed for dinner and the live band which began at 8 pm. We were also able to see the garden lit up at night. It was a very special experience!
