The Buchart gardens were amazing, all flowers were in full bloom. Highly exceeded our expectations and several hours is needed for one to really enjoy its multi-faceted beauty.

Had a short 2 days layover in Vancouver. We were so lucky to find this gem – 1 Day trip to Victoria, BC and Buchart Gardens. We truly enjoyed this excursion and felt that the times in each location were perfect. We loved the gardens and would like to visit Victoria again and spend more time.
