This flexible tour offers ample opportunity to sightsee, shop and photograph stunning vistas.

Vancouver is a culturally diverse, sophisticated city set against a spectacular backdrop of forests, snow-capped mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean.

Boasting one of North America's largest Chinatowns, a Victorian Gastown district and Stanley Park, a 1,000-acre rainforest in the heart of the city, Vancouver's top highlights will delight on a panoramic motorcoach tour.

Stanley Park is one of the largest urban forests in Canada and a premier Vancouver attraction. The West Coast climate supports the abundance of flora and fauna and a wonderful variety of furry creatures and majestic birds call this sanctuary home. The black squirrels that you see scampering among the trees were actually brought over from New York's Central Park decades ago. At the east tip of the Stanley Park is Brockton Point, where you'll find the famed Native Totem Garden. Colorful, carved works of art stand proud and tall in commemoration of the First Nations culture, which first inhabited the area.

Victoria, western Canada's oldest city, was founded in 1843 as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post. Victoria's early history has been carefully preserved and can be seen in lovingly restored residential, commercial and public buildings. This city is the most "British" in all of Canada and boasts prominent reminders of its colonial past.

Your journey begins along the waterfront through the city's picturesque Beacon Hill Park, and then into the downtown Inner Harbour area. Here you will see the iconic Empress Hotel, the BC Legislature Building, the Old Town and North America's second-oldest Chinatown.

Located high above Victoria on Little Saanich Mountain, the observatory rises above the city and affords views of the Olympic Mountain Range. The centuries-old facility served as a preeminent research facility through the years, and many discoveries about the nature of the Milky Way were made here. Today, it is used by members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. The observatory opened to the general public as the "The Centre of the Universe" and includes a small planetarium and multimedia presentations. Astronomer James Hesser led the development of the facility and has promoted education and public outreach throughout his long career.

Board your motorcoach for a scenic tour to the Saanich Peninsula and the breathtaking Butchart Gardens, a National Historic Site of Canada. After a short drive, you'll find yourself surrounded by 55-acres of some of the most lavish and lush landscaped grounds in the world. Colorful blooms, rare flowers and themed gardens greet you as you meander through the property over footbridges, passing cascading fountains and charming lily ponds

There's always something blooming at the acclaimed Butchart Gardens every day of the year. Fall brings a profusion of vibrant autumnal colors, winter's shorter days showcase evergreen shrubs and hundreds of varieties of primrose, and during spring you'll see 300,000 bulbs blanketing the 55-acre former home of Robert and Jennie Butchart. And summer at the gardens is also breathtaking. In addition to 900 varieties of dazzling floral displays this enchanted garden lights up the night with fireworks and a wonderland of subtle light and shadow known as Night Illumination.

Inspired by his love for Uisge Beatha, meaning the "water for life," Graeme Macaloney, the ex-pat Scot founder of Victoria Caledonian Distillery & Twa Dogs Brewery, set out to create the finest single malt whisky in North America and perhaps the world. A kilted guide will lead you on an interactive tour of this exceptional facility and offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to produce these fine libations. During the experience, you will enjoy a tasting of the award-winning craft whiskies and beers.

Board your motorcoach at the pier and cross the Vincent Thomas Bridge as you journey towards your destination of Long Beach. Your drop off point is nearby to shopping, restaurants as well as one of the top attractions of Long Beach - the Aquarium of the Pacific.
