A magical day for nature lovers! Explore Victoria’s natural beauty through the eyes of Canada’s most famous painter - Emily Carr. Your day begins with a guided, interpretative tour of Emily’s celebrated landscapes at the Victoria Art Gallery. Then indulge in an authentic afternoon tea with freshly made sandwiches, preserves and treats at the White Heather Tea Room. After your head and stomach are full, enjoy a guided stroll through two private gardens.
