Victoria, British Columbia, home to the famous Butchart Gardens, is a wonderful place to visit during the spring and summer months.  The capital city is bustling with activity, from Canada Day festivities in July to Symphony Splash in August.  While there are lots of festivals going on in Victoria, there is plenty to do on the day-to-day as well, and a scenic tour of the area is just what you need to get the lay of the land.

A great way to see the city and check out its main attraction is on the Grand Tour of Victoria & Butchart Gardens combination trip.  Aboard a traditional English double-decker bus, you will get a chance to check out the homes and gardens that make Victoria unique.  You will learn the back story on the Empress Hotel, Antique Row, and Chinatown and will make a stop at Castle Point for an exquisite view of Oak Bay and the Coast Mountains.  Along the way you will also check out the exclusive Uplands and Oak Bay residential areas as you enjoy a peaceful ride along Marine Drive.

As you make your way around Victoria, you will ultimately reach Butchart Gardens, where over 50 acres of blossoms and fragrances await you.  A walk through the theme gardens - linked by spacious lawns, meandering streams, and lily ponds - will relax and rejuvenate you, as will a visit to the sunken garden.  As an added bonus, seasonal outdoor performances in the afternoon add that special something to your trip.

For an extra dose of natural beauty, take the Butchart Gardens & Butterfly Gardens Tour, which provides access into Butterfly Gardens, an indoor tropical garden where the butterflies fly freely and display their unique shapes and color patterns.  The enclosed gardens house even more varieties of plants and flowers for you to be amazed by, so if endless bursts of color and life are what you crave, this may just be the perfect tour for you.

There are many fun activities to choose from in Victoria, so for a more complete list visit www.VictoriaTours.org.

This is a wonderful introduction to these two great cities, and the added flexibility with the return tickets really makes it easier to do the tour on your terms.  You can even take the opportunity to stay in Hamburg for a few days and really soak up the culture of the city, and then when you return to Berlin you are able to focus some more time there as well.  This tour is a definite hole in one.  Check out www.germanytours.net for further information on this tour and other activities to fit into your trip.

Florence, located in the heart of Tuscany, is surrounded by the Apennine Mountains and gorgeous Tuscan vineyards and olive groves.  Like the rest of Italy, it is known for bearing famous artists and stunning architecture like Santa Maria del Fiore, or ‘The Duomo.’

Perhaps one of the most well-known artists - and one-time residents of Florence - who ever lived is Michelangelo, who created the incredible marble sculpture of the David, modeled after a young and nude Israelite king David, as he decides to go to battle with Goliath.  The City Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour in Florence Italy gives you the chance to surround yourself with priceless works of art such as this one, along with Botticelli’s Venus and other famous works kept in the Galleria dell’ Accademia  and Uffizi Gallery.  It also takes a stop at the Duomo, a fine work of architecture whose dome was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1419 during a competition to win the commission.  Brunelleschi drew his inspiration from the Pantheon in Rome.  He was later buried at the Duomo and his tomb is open for public viewing to this day.

One of the stops on this tour is the Palazzo Pitti, often known in English as Pitti Palace.  It is located south of the River Arno and close to the Medieval bridge, Ponte Vecchio.  Palazzo Pitti was used as a power base for Napoleon in the 18^th century and briefly served as the primary palace in Italy.  Today it is open to the public and serves as one of Florence’s largest art galleries. 

This tour is worth its weight in gold, as it allows you to see in person what you may have only seen in books and in copied prints before.  For artists and those who appreciate talent and beauty in traditional and nontraditional forms, this tour is definitely for you.
