Come
along as we explore towering rock cliffs,
snow-capped mountains, lush gardens and vibrant cities, giving
you a glimpse of American and Canadian natural beauty at its
best.
Seattle and the Space Needle
When you see the Space Needle looming in the distance, you know
you've arrived in Seattle, Washington. But you certainly won't
be “Sleepless in Seattle” as there is more than
enough activity to keep you busy! Your city tour includes Pike
Place Market, Chinatown, historic Pioneer Square, Seattle’s
waterfront and the incredible Space Needle. Officially opened
in 1961 for the 1962 World’s fair, the Space Needle’s
elevators whisk you to the Observation Deck in under a minute
for an unforgettable panoramic view of Seattle. With snow-capped
Mount Rainier to the south, the Cascade Mountains to the east
and the majestic Olympics to the west, you will see why Seattle
is anything but ordinary.
Vancouver
– Cosmopolitan Canada
Cradled between the ocean and snow-capped mountains, Vancouver’s
dazzling downtown skyline, idyllic waterfront and lush parks
make this a city to behold. An experienced local guide will
join us for an unforgettable city tour of Vancouver. See the
beauty of Stanley Park with its 1,000 acres of gardens and sand
beaches, along with the colorful neighborhoods of Chinatown,
Shaughnessy and the historic streets of Gastown. You’ll
spend three nights in Vancouver with an endless list of things
to see and do in one of Canada’s most cosmopolitan cities.
Travel
the Ferry System
We use the popular and intricate ferry system, a main mode of
transportation for locals which ties the mainland with the many
islands that dot the coast line. Whether it’s crossing
the Strait of Georgia or the Strait of Juan de Fuca, ferry is
the best way to reach Vancouver Island, the largest in the region.
Whistler
Mountaineer
The Whistler Mountaineer is a breathtaking three-hour train
trip offering world-class Canadian hospitality from North Vancouver
to the mountain town of Whistler. The journey delivers a unique
blend of contrasts the “Sea to Sky” region is famous
for; cities and old-growth forests, bustling action and natural
serenity, deep valleys and snow-capped peaks, seascapes and
mountain views.
Victoria
– A Capital City
A leading travel magazine named Victoria “one of the world’s
top ten cities to visit.” And, Victoria works very hard
to live up to that reputation. The historic capital city of
British Columbia, Victoria has a distinctly British feel with
pubs, tearooms and bagpipers in abundance. Your experienced
Mayflower Tour Manager conducts a panoramic city tour highlighting
the best of Victoria, from its beautiful harbor boardwalk to
its incredible parliament building. Stop in for a visit at the
remarkable Empress Hotel during your free time. One of the highlights
of Victoria is the hundred-year-old Butchart Gardens, which
Mayflower Tours has included on your itinerary. From the exquisite
Sunken Gardens to the lovely Rose Garden, you'll be captivated
by the spectacular views and elegant waterfalls as you stroll
through the expansive lawns.
