On this tour you’ll find a vibrant multicultural metropolis with steel and glass studded skyline, 19th century buildings and North America’s largest city park. Flanked by Pacific Ocean and snow-capped mountains, you'll experience world-class service, and year-round outdoor activities. Victoria provides a more laid-back English/Canadian beat and architecture. Enjoy a stroll through spectacular gardens, partake in the elegant English ritual that is High Tea or feel the salt air on your face while whale watching. This is British Columbia's amazing West Coast!
