Butcher Garden, Mile Zero, Downtown Victoria w/ BC Ferry Day Tour
Overview
Hop aboard for a small-group adventure that’s big on charm and insider flair! Our day kicks off with a scenic BC Ferry ride across the Georgia Strait—keep your eyes peeled for seals, whales, and that one guy who always forgets his binoculars. First stop: the jaw-dropping Butchart Gardens, where 55 acres of floral magic await. Then it’s off to Chinatown, where the Gate of Harmonious Interest welcomes you into a maze of stories, flavors, and photo ops. At the postcard-perfect Inner Harbour, you’ll meet Victoria’s royal icons—The Empress Hotel and Parliament Buildings—standing proud like they invented charm. Wrap it all up with a stroll through Beacon Hill Park and a selfie at Mile Zero (yes, it’s a thing!). With our expert guide weaving in local legends and hidden gems, this isn’t just a tour—it’s a backstage pass to Vancouver Island’s soul. Seats are limited, laughs are guaranteed, and the memories? Totally frame-worthy.
