Greetings from Victoria! In today’s video, we bring you the final episode of our Vancouver Island road trip. After experiencing several days of torrential rains in the last few episodes, we’re happy to say that the sun came out to bid us farewell, which meant we had a really nice day visiting Butchart Gardens and exploring downtown Victoria.
Butchart Gardens are hardly a well-kept secret, but we can assure you that they are worth the hype! These are some of the most beautiful gardens we have ever visited and I, for one, spent the whole morning ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the beautiful displays.
I added the Sunken Garden to our Trover list, because who knew a former quarry could be transformed into something so beautiful?! You seriously can’t miss this place if you come to Victoria.
And now we’re going to take you to the Butchart Gardens’ Dining Room Restaurant, where we ordered afternoon tea for lunch! Oh, yes, that’s how we roll.
The menu featured scones with cream and jam, Cornish pasties, leek and cheese quiche, and savoury sandwiches with salmon, cucumber and egg salad. We also got a plate of delicious house-made sweets. It was all delectable and we tried to savour each bite to the max!
Arriving in Victoria was quite the contrast after spending the majority of our trip in the north part of Vancouver Island. It’s surprising how quickly we got used to being in small towns surrounded by forest, and all of a sudden we were in a city with traffic, and streetlights, and lots of people! Our senses were slightly overwhelmed, but we still had a nice time visiting the inner harbour and hitting up a few of the main attractions.
The British Columbia Parliament buildings are home to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The buildings were constructed in the 1890s in a mix of renaissance, Romanesque and classical styles, and they are stunning. Once we set foot inside, we were wowed by the mosaic floors, the elegant dome and the beautiful stained glass windows. In short, it was a feast for the eyes! I also added this place to Trover because I didn’t even know the parliament buildings were open to the public, but it turns out they are, plus it’s free to visit, AND you can do a self-guided tour and go at your own pace.
After wandering along the harbour a bit longer, we decided to head back to the apartment because we had some leftover afternoon tea treats calling our name. We had a quick stop at Clover Point Park to snap some pictures and befriend the dogs out on their afternoon walk and that was the end of our day. But now some final thoughts on our two weeks on the island!
And that’s a wrap for our Vancouver Island road trip! Once again, we want to give a huge thank you to our partner Trover for making this trip possible. For those of you who are curious about all the places we visited on the island, I’ll link our Trover profile in the description below, with a list of all the places we went to. And if you missed an episode, we’ve also got a whole Vancouver Island playlist waiting for you on the end screen. Thanks again for watching and we’ll see you soon with more adventures!

First time watching you guys, we love you!!!!
I have just started watching your videos. They are wonderful. I loved it when you went up to Mountain Washington. It's a good thing you didn't get stuck for very long.
My favourite city in Canada.
I like to see you speaking in english, you are a super great team to show the towns, cities & places,, Saludes a tu padre Daniel!! Saludes desde Honduras, CA
🇩🇪🤓👈my families yes I am butchard name.👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇲🇽 Vasco 👈🖖
Accurate description. Mount Washington cool. Late 80’s, 90’s the Canadian airforce base at Comox. Many times those pilots were just above the mountain. You could see the pilots wave at you, if you were top of ski lift. Victoria changed considerably since 90’s. Too many people. The island has no industry other than tourism and government and a university, couple colleges. One time long ago, island had fishing, mining, and logging. Most of that is gone.
Hey it's my Victoria! But u missed the BC museum. Love these travel series around the world, gained yourself a new sub 👍
Watch out for the demons
Victoria is rotten to the core. You will not find a more corrupt den of evil on this earth. Nor will you ever see it documented as such. Old….ancient power in Victoria.

Hey Samuel and Audrey, I watched your videos before visiting Korea last year, and this year I plan to visit Canada. Thank you for your videos! Do you have a recommendation for a hotel in Vancouver? This is my first time to comment on any YouTuber ever, so I don't know if this is where I can send you a message about this 🙂 Thanks in advance for your help and keep on making your videos!
