TOUR SUMMARY
Christmas in Victoria
Spending Christmas in Victoria has been an annual tradition for Wells Gray Tours since the 1980s. In 2025, we are again staying at Hotel Grand Pacific which has a great location on Belleville Street overlooking the Inner Harbour. Some highlights are the Traditional Christmas with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, high tea and Festival of Lights at Butchart Gardens, the Sleigh Boat Ride in the Inner Harbour, Butterfly Gardens, the Royal BC Museum with IMAX Theatre, and a Christmas Eve concert by the Linden Singers Choir. An extravagant Christmas Dinner is at the Grand Pacific Hotel which has hosted this event for many years. Come and enjoy Christmas 2025 in Victoria!

DEPARTURE POINTS & DATES
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Level
Light Activity: You are a traveler who prefers to see places without a lot of physical activity. You can climb a flight of stairs, board a coach, stand for short periods, and walk at a leisurely pace with breaks for up to 30 minutes without difficulty or assistance. There are short distances to walk and some stairs such as to/from theatre seats and at Butchart Gardens.
You may bring a walker or cane to support your mobility. Please let us know when you book if you will be bringing a walker on this tour. The coach cannot carry a scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travelers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not capable of keeping up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour.
Tour Size
This tour can accommodate 40 participants.
-
Payments: A deposit of $300 per person is requested at the time of booking and balance is due October 23, 2025. By paying the deposit, you agree to the Terms & Conditions, Activity Level and Cancellation Policy outlined. Payments can be made by online banking or cheque (1.5% discount on tour fare), or by Visa or Mastercard.
-
BC Seniors (65 & over): $17 discount offered by BC Ferries. Please bring your BC Services Card on the tour.
-
Cancellation Policy: Up to September 23, 2025, the cancellation charge is $100 per person. From September 24 to October 23, the cancellation charge is $200 per person. From October 24 to November 7, the cancellation charge is 50% of the tour fare. From November 8 to November 20, the cancellation charge is 80% of tour fare. After November 20, there is no refund.
-
Itinerary and Fare Changes: Our many suppliers may notify us about changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar service if something cancels, but occasionally the only alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity. Please note that if we are forced to cancel a tour component due to an issue beyond our control, the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the entire tour. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes or other tour costs can occur at any time, therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase fares due to such changes up to departure.
-
Show cancellation: It rarely happens, but performers occasionally get sick, or some mishap causes the cancellation of a show. This can occur even shortly before the performance begins. We know that this would be disappointing for our customers, but the only refund we would be able to obtain for you would be the actual ticket price of the show. The hotel, motorcoach, and other tour services are all prepaid and are nonrefundable at short notice.
-
Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final payment if you have a food allergy. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not. For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to serve.
-
Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is provided by Travel Guard. Policies purchased at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for medical and cancellation claims, otherwise policies can be purchased no later than at final payment. This tour stays in British Columbia. While your BC Services Card may cover you for a medical issue that arises during the tour, you will probably benefit from trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage in case of illness or a mishap before or during the tour. Many other benefits such as luggage insurance are included. Medical questionnaire is not needed. Please contact us for details. If you have your own travel insurance, please read the policy carefully to be sure that you are adequately covered for cancellation, interruption, and luggage.
