Default Victoria and Butchart Gardens

We are planning on doing the excursion to Butchart Gardens when the
Sapphire Princess docks in Victoria. Does anyone know how far it is
from the ship and if we get to see any of the town while driving there?
My beloved keeps asking me questions AFTER I hang up with Princess. LOL.

Depending on the traffic the approx travel time should be about 40 minutes.
The trip usually starts going through town but will soon get on the highway
for the remaining portion

Thanks Steve. We just wanted to be able to see something, since we're
not going to be there very long. When we book a shore excursion, the
price should include the admission, right?

If you book through the cruise line, yes. If you go into town you can
catch a bus to Butchart Gardens
