Vancouver Island, off Canada’s Pacific Coast, is known for its mild climate and thriving arts community. It is part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia or Western Canada to lie south of the 49th Parallel, along with most of the southern Gulf Islands and minor offshore islands. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.
Vancouver Island has been the homeland to many indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The island was explored by British and Spanish expeditions in the late 18th century.
We approached Trip Designs with a plan to travel to four European countries that required a quite extensive itinerary – connecting flights to several European destinations, hotel reservations for all destinations and transportation. And Trip Designs made it all happen. Everything ran like clockwork, even when one flight was changed. They made all the necessary arrangements to keep our vacation time on track. They even secured coach class seats with more legroom than most passengers. With this kind of outstanding customer service, efficiency and professionalism, we will use them for all our travel needs - forever!
