The driver was very knowledgeable and made the long trip more interesting. We did not have a guide at the Butchart Gardens, but none was needed. A map given upon entrance made it clear what areas to go to, depending upon your interest. The Gardens were incredibly beautiful, with huge displays of flowers arranged in interesting ways. Fountains and pools provided interesting display amid the forest setting. Most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen!

I went on this trip with my sisters and all of our husbands. We all enjoyed the day very much. That said, it was a long day. I didn't realize that so much of our day would be devoted to transportation. Out of our 12 hour day, we had 1.75 hours at Butchart Gardens, and 1.5 hours in Victoria. While I felt a little rushed at Butchart Gardens, I still felt that I saw everything. In Victoria, however, I wanted more time. Still, I couldn't have coordinated a trip on my own to see all that we saw in one day. Even in 2 days, the transportation logistics from Vancouver to Victoria without a car would have been challenging.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide, Dan, was helpful, very informative and added a little scenic detour as traffic was quieter than anticipated on our return. He gave clear instructions and the day ran smoothly. The pick up location photo, emailed to us in advance, was very helpful as the Canada Place vicinity has a lot of tour operators in a central area. Our pick up was just around the corner. Butchart Gardens and Victoria were both stunningly beautiful. Would definitely recommend PCT, based on our day.
