I would rather go there first so as to see Buchart Gatdens in the daytime. This was a big disappointment and would advise no one to choose the Buchart Gardens excursion because you can't appreciate the gardens even though they are illuminated. I have seen the garden on a past trip in 1986 and was so looking forward to seeing it again. Our friends we were traveling with had not seen the gardens before and too were so disappointed this excursion is especially troubling for older cruisers. Either the cruise line needs to reverse the order of the ports or try to arrive at Victoria earlier than 6 pm.
