Q: we are travelling to british columbia, canada this summer. one of our party is in a wheelchair so we are a bit limited as to what we can do as far as sightseeing. one thing we would like to do is travel from vancouver to victoria. are there tour buses that go from vancouver to victoria, tour the city of victoria and then return to vancouver? any other suggestions as to what to see while in vancouver and surrounding areas? this will be a one time trip for the wheelchair folks so we want to make it memorable for them! any suggestions, etc. would be so much appreciated. cheers well gracie, thank you so much for taking the time to answer. you have a point, but you see, i wanted to get personal thoughts and ideas not just another government mailing! have a lovely day girl. supermodel thanks a lot! i will check out sites you suggested. you've been a great help. cleo sounds like a proud west coast resident! thanks for such great tips! it all sounds so wonderful. thanks again! hilary and cabochick - wow - thanks so much for the info! everyone has been very helpful and i wish i could give you all best answer! we are really looking forward to our visit to canada and will make sure we check out everything that everyone has suggested! thanks again! cheers!
A: Vancouver and Victoria are bothvery wheelchair accessible. However finding wheelchair accessable tours buses isn't that easy! Pacific Coach Lines offers accessible service between Vancouver and Victoria. call 604.662.7575. I have never seen a lift on one of their buses. I would call to confirm that they have a lift. I found a good site about victoria that has lots of useful links. But I didn't find info about wheelchair accessable tours. http://www.accessvictoria.com/ Gray line tours is another tour bus operator, but I wasn't able to see anything on their website about the buses being wheelchiar accessable. I would assume that they aren't. In both Vancouver and Victoria, the public buses are wheelchair accessable with ramps. www.translink.bc.ca This website was also very helpful, although it is more about vancouver than victoria but it's a good resource http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/travel_tips/special_needs_travelers I know that there are smaller tour operators who specialize in wheelchair tours. I have seen them, but I can't find a website. But I think that if you make some phone calls you will find one. hope this helped, enjoy your time in BC!
