The Butchart Gardens draw more than 1,000,000 visitors to the Saanich Peninsula every year to experience world-class gardens and incredible scenery. Designated a National Historic Site due to its international acclaim and renown, the gardens offer vibrant displays of verdant plant life and scenic pathways allowing visitors incredible opportunities to explore graceful fountains, recreated Japanese temples and renaissance-inspired displays.
Your 2.5-hour tour starts with a pickup from your Victoria-based hotel or lodging in a small, 10-passenger van. After meeting your driver and tour host, you will drive through half an hour of strikingly lush natural scenery as you make your way to the gardens. Your guide will intersperse bad jokes and personal anecdotes with a careful narration of the history and details of the Saanich Peninsula.
