Gardens and Afternoon Tea
Throughout your stay in Victoria, you'll discover more than a bit of British influence in its double-decker buses, horse-drawn carriages and formal gardens, all surrounded by the rustic beauty of the Pacific coast. You'll find floral beauty in exceptional form at The Butchart Gardens, begun over a century ago. During your visit this morning, explore what has grown to encompass 55 magnificent acres of flowers and show gardens; each year over a million bedding plants in some 900 varieties promise an uninterrupted bloom from March through October. During your visit, see the Sunken Garden, the first to be planted by Jennie Butchart, and stroll through the Rose Garden, Japanese Garden and the Italian Garden. Following your return to Victoria early in the afternoon, and afternoon tea at the famed Fairmont Empress, the remainder of the day is free to spend as you please.

Day 8
Lake Louise As You Like It
Spend the morning at leisure indulging in the amenities and natural beauty of your Lake Louise resort. This afternoon, enjoy a change of scenery and resorts when you settle into your resort in Banff National Park. It was the discovery by Canadian Pacific Railway workers of wonders like the Cave and Hot Spring Basin that led to this park's establishment in the early 1880s – and of your castle-like hotel in the park in 1888, when the railway first opened tourism to the Rocky Mountains. Enjoy dinner this evening at leisure at The Fairmont Banff Springs.
Meals: Breakfast Lunch Dinner -
Day 9
Rafting in Banff National Park
The day begins with a float along the Bow River where the natural beauty of Banff National Park unfolds around every bend of the river – viewing it from the river is special, an entirely different experience to land. Spend the remainder of the day as you wish from your grand alpine resort – it was built more than a century ago in the style of Scottish baronial castles. You might choose to explore the town of Banff... or your resort offers a full range of optional activities (some available at additional cost); perhaps you'll take a guided nature walk, book a treatment at the renowned Willow Stream Spa, enjoy horseback riding or a round of golf... perhaps explore the town of Banff or ascend into the mountains aboard the scenic Banff Gondola. Join us tonight for a farewell reception and dinner at the fabulous Fairmont Banff Springs.

Tauck Tours is an outstanding tour company. The quality of the tour director, accommodations and activities are truly superb.
Only drawback was mattresses in all the Fairmont Hotels were too soft to my liking.
Love, love, love Tauck. They anticipate one's every need. Wonderful Tour Directors. Great value for the price.
Our hotels were 5-star. Tauck is a wondeful tour company. We especially enjoyed being able to eat at fine restaurants on our own. We wil book with Tauck again.
I totally recommend this tour with Tauck. (In fact after several trips with Tauck and some with others, I definitely say, GO WITH TAUCK!!! They do things right and are truly concerned about each and every one on the trip.) We had a fantastic time, had the BEST director and driver and great fellow passengers. The accommodations were wonderful, food was great, activities very good...we really got our money's worth.
The Tauck small group travel was wonderful and our tour director was fabulous.
