Tours

BC Flag There is a world to discover when you visit Vancouver – Spectacular by Nature and Beautiful British Columbia. In addition to the daily private and public garden tours, you will be able to choose from pre and post convention tours that explore the surrounding beauty of British Columbia.

The daily tours and social events are open to both convention attendees as well as their partners, friends, World Rose Festival visitors, and local rosarians who are unable to attend the Convention.

A few notes:

1) In order to allow registrants to attend lecture series in the morning and participate on the tours in the afternoon, all daily tours include lunch except the Whistler Tour and the Victoria Day Tour.

2) A Day at World Famous Butchart Gardens Tour is subject to availability and a price change.

3) All fees are quoted and processed in Canadian dollars.
