Victoria Cruise Reviews

Didn't spend much time there, just a quick trip into town to see it quickly and get some souvenirs. ...

Only there for a few hours, at night no less. Need a full day in Victoria in order to enjoy it. ...

We weren't here very long, but on a previous trip I did visit Butchart Gardens and they were beautiful. You should always allow 2-3 hours as the gardens are large. The Empress and downtown is OK to visit once... impressive. A favorite of mine is Beacon Hill Park. It is close enough to walk to from the ship or town unless you get tired easily.

It looked like a beautiful place but we were only there a couple of hours, so the only excursion was an extremely abbreviated visit to the gardens at night, so it did not seem worth it. However, the people at the shops seemed absolutely in love with their town and that was nice to hear. ...

Do not miss Buchard gardens if that is your kind of thing, it was amazing. ...

I rented a bicycle at the port of Victoria and had a great experience riding around the city and neighborhoods, seeing lots of flowers, flowering trees, and interesting architecture. I stumbled upon the Governor’s mansion on my ride and found walking the grounds to be a great experience. ...

Beautiful city. Took a shuttle bus from the ship to downtown ($15 per person round trip). Went to the Royal BC Museum. Very nice museum. Lots of hands on type activities for kids. Several shops where you can get reasonably priced t-shirts & gifts. ...

Walked from the ship to fisherman's wharf and caught a water taxi to Chinatown. Walked around there and downtown then just walked back to the ship. Not a bad walk at all. We were a little too early for the flowers so didn't go to the gardens due to $$$. ...

Great city, have visited before. But there is simply not enough time for meaningful exploration. We took a cab to town/back to save time. ...

Victoria is a clean, amazingly temperate city with plenty to see and do without an excursion and even minimal cost. We walked some of the city and took a local cab for other parts. For a mere $20 CAD we were able to see downtown, most major building landmarks, and the gorgeous and FREE Beacon Hill park. ...
