Itinerary

Day 1 Vancouver

Vancouver is a coastal city located in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. It is consistently ranked one of the most livable cities in the world, based on its warm climate, beautiful scenery, modern infrastructure, and social community. Vancouver is ethnically diverse, with 52% of city residents having a first language other than English. The economy has traditionally relied on forestry, mining, fishing and agriculture; although, tourism has grown rapidly as more people discover this gem on the Pacific Ocean.

You will be provided with a pre-departure package which will include all necessary information that you will need for your trip including materials such as vouchers, maps, train tickets (if relevant) etc.

Enjoy a private transfer in a luxury vehicle with a professional guide who will meet you in the International Reception Lobby (IRL) located outside of customs.

Enjoy a shared introductory tour of Vancouver highlighting the main sights of the city in a small group. The vehicle used is an air conditioned 8-21 passenger sightseeing vehicles and throughout the tour you will be given you the personal attention and level of service that you deserve. Ample time for photo stops and for answering individual questions is given. The driver/guide delights in sharing their extensive knowledge of area history, geography and current events. Places of interest on the tour include: B.C. Place, G.M. Place, Science World (Olympic Sites), Gastown - Historical area of Vancouver, Canada Place - Alaska Cruise ship terminal and home of the new convention centre, Stanley Park - The Totem Poles, Vancouver Aquarium (not included - optional) and Prospect Point as well as English Bay/Vancouver Harbour and Granville Island - which includes a stop at artists' studios, craft galleries, and the Granville Island Public Market. From here the tour continues on to Queen Elizabeth Park before you are brought back to your hotel.

The Comfort Inn Downtown Hotel (3*) is conveniently located in the heart of Vancouver's vibrant entertainment district and is the perfect starting point for that quest for comfort. Outside the doors of this European-boutique hotel, guests have the best of the city at their feet: from world-class shops, shows and restaurants, to West Coast parks, peaks and beaches. All guest rooms are thoughtfully decorated for the leisure or business traveller and feature modern amenities. You can enjoy a complimentary pass and skip the line at two of the city's night spots, or enjoy the live performances of traditional Irish music in the bar of the hotel which occurs a number of evenings a week.
