A significant, albeit not very surprising, report has just shed some major light on our little island haven.
According to TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards for Experiences, a trip from Vancouver to Victoria for the Butchart Gardens tour by bus is officially one of the best day trips in the world.
“We’re excited to announce our first Travelers’ Choice awards for Experiences, according to feedback from the TripAdvisor community,” said Laurel Greatrix, Director of Communications for TripAdvisor, in a release.
“Experiences are often the highlight of a trip, and a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture, or even explore your hometown.”
To determine the rankings, TripAdvisor uses an algorithm that takes into account business’ reviews, opinions, and popularity among travellers over the past year.
“The Butchart gardens were beyond description—you just have to see to believe,” reads one review on the travel website – and don’t we know it!
The tour details on the website enlist the scenic ferry route from Vancouver to Victoria, guided sightseeing, and stroll through Butchart Gardens as the highlights of the day trip.
The ‘Best of Niagara Falls Tour’ was the only other Canadian experience to be included in TripAdvisor’s ranking.
