Reviews

The Wilson’s departed on April 28, 2014 for the 10-day trip. “WestWorld treated us like royalty,” says Elaine. When they arrived at the Royal Scot Hotel & Suites in Victoria a musician playing the bag-pipes “piped” them in as the passengers got off the bus and entered the hotel. There was a bottle of champagne provided by WestWorld Tours and chocolates provided by the hotel for the Wilson’s upon arrival. Their daughter and two of their grandchildren joined them for the winery and cidery visit. They sang Happy Anniversary to them on the bus. Elaine joked that at the Victoria Butterfly Gardens Jack wasn’t thrilled when a butterfly landed on his shoulder. She commented she isn’t really a “flower person” but Butchart Gardens was beautiful. The Wilson’s explored Cathedral Grove, home of the majestic ancient red cedars, and the Murals of Chemainus. They also enjoyed a short ferry ride to Salt Spring Island where a large number of artists, sculptors and musicians live.

The Wilson’s anniversary date was on May 4 but she said they celebrated every day of the tour. The group attended their Farewell Dinner in Vernon in a ranch-style restaurant called the Historic O’Keefe Ranch. Elaine and Jack remarked that WestWorld Tours has always gone out of their way offering the best customer service and experience throughout all of their tours.

The tour to Victoria was a great success. The organization and wonderful care by our guide Koral ensured that we had a very good time. I'd recommend this trip to anyone who is considering taking it.
Hans & Julia Eckart - Regina, SK - 2016

This was our first motor coach tour and we had a great time. It was very relaxing to have all the details of travel and touring arranged for us. Both our driver and tour director were excellent at their jobs and very informative about other WestWorld tours. I would travel this way again.

A thoroughly enjoyable trip from start to finish. Our days were well planned with the right amount of time allowed for coffee/ meals/ attractions. The Queen Victoria Hotel is an ideal location to stay at it was close to everything in downtown Victoria.

We really enjoyed our second tour with WestWorld. This was due to excellent leadership, interesting attractions and a very pleasant group of fellow travellers.
Gerald Howe & Joyce Eskelson - Saskatoon, SK

We celebrated our 40th Anniversary last year and my husband said to me. You must see the mountains, they are beautiful. So we enquired about the bus tour that a friend recommended to us. We booked the trip, thus the reason we were on the tour. The best anniversary gift anyone could ask for.

Celebrating our 50th anniversary with WestWorld Tours was definitely a high light. Thank you so much! We toured this same tour in 2005 but just wanted to do it again as we loved it. WestWorld has the BEST tour directors. The coach driver Jerry together with Koral combine to give us the greatest vacation one could ever want. It is a great way to travel and celebrate. Thanks again & we are doing/planning another one. All passengers were fantastic and non smokers!!!
