Butchart Gardens Tours Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Wonderful Tour

We had a wonderful time and the Butchart Gardens were absolutely stunning. However, these tours are very expensive (esp. for 2). We had a toddler screaming for a good 30 minutes of the city tour up to the gardens. It seems hugely inconsiderate of both parents and the tour company to have such young travelers when we pay so much for this tour. I understnd they paid for their family but I don't understand why tour companies do not have age limits. We enjoyed it but next time we would rather do it on our own.
