Discover The Hidden Gems Of The Butchart Gardens
One of the best places to visit on Vancouver Island is beautiful The Butchart Gardens. No doubt the gardens receive more than 1 million tourists every year who visit this place to admire the beauty and colorful display of attractive flowers. The world-renowned Butchart Gardens is a 55-acre oasis nestled on Saanich Peninsula, around 15 miles north of downtown Victoria, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. This attraction has welcomed many international tourists since 1904 to explore some of the colorful displays of the beautiful seasonal blooms, lush green gardens, and carefully designed sculptures, and experience exclusive dining and afternoon tea.
Besides beautiful flower displays you will come across many gardens to visit on the British Columbia Garden Tour. Sunken Garden is an iconic garden in Butchart. Just enjoy some moments admiring its beautiful sight before descending into the garden filled with trees, shrubs, flowers, and lawns.
If you’re visiting these gardens between June to August then you must visit the wonderful rose garden and explore the smell and sight of various types of roses. You can consider taking the picture under its Rose Arch. There is a Japanese garden that features greenery and is a tranquil setting where you can enjoy some moments before you head to Star Pond. This Pond is well-surrounded by some beautiful flowers, and in the middle, you will come across the frog fountain.

Exceptionally bad traffic made the start later than would have liked but Shawn our driver was a brilliant host making sure we experienced all the features of the trip. Skylon Tower, the Sheraton Buffet, Niagara Falls, the whirlpool, Niagara on the Lake, the world’s smallest church and the wine tasting. Highly recommend and book it all you will not be disappointed.

We went with Shawn on our tour and from the very beginning he was very professional and courteous! Shawn was an excellent safe driver and we had a smooth trip and at all of our stops we had more than enough time to enjoy the sights! I would definitely take this tour again if I were in Toronto and didn’t want to drive and I highly recommend Shawn and his fine hospitality and kindness and great knowledge of the area. Shawn loves the Niagara region and knows it well and truly loves it here and that helps make his tour exceptional!

We had a wonderful experience on the Niagara Falls tour with Tour Beez! Everything was well organized, and our tour guide, Shawn, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting facts, kept everything on schedule, and ensured everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend Tour Beez and Shawn for anyone planning a Niagara Falls tour!

We had a great time! We are from British Columbia and have never been to Niagara so booking through tour beez was easy and they did all the planning, even small details like booking our Uber, providing links and times. Our tour guide, Shawn was extremely knowledgeable with the falls and also the surrounding area. He was so friendly and personable. He even added on a couple extra stops whenever time was saved along the way. I will 💯 recommend Tour Beez to friends and family!

Shawn was the tour guide of the day and he was absolutely fantastic! He’s super friendly and very informative. The tour allowed us to explore many sites including Niagara Falls, a scenic drive along Niagara parkway, a stop at Floral clock, and we finished with wine tasting at Niagara College. Would recommend this tour to anyone!
