Overview

We spend the first hour of this private tour on a brief City Tour that includes Chinatown, the Inner Harbour and Craigdarroch Castle. We then take a pleasant drive to the world-famous Butchart Gardens, which are about a 30 or 40 minute drive north of Victoria.
Admissions to the Gardens are included and your guide will get you a garden map and take you to the iconic sunken garden, which was the first part of the garden to be developed, early in the 20th Century. Guests are able to explore these beautiful gardens at their leisure. Followed by a lovely afternoon high tea at the Gardens. Garden admissions and high tea are included in the tour. If you love nature and flowers then you will love this private tour - just you with our fun and informative guide! Max. 4 pax
