Unforgetta­ble travels await you with Mile Zero Tours

-

Travel industry expert David Rose has opened a new guided travel company specifical­ly catering to the unique needs of travellers from Vancouver Island. Based in Downtown Victoria, Mile Zero Tours provides fully guided deluxe tours to destinatio­ns across North America.

With over 18 years in the travel business, David always dreamed of opening his own travel business. He recognized the need for one on Vancouver Island, and in 2014, he brought his idea to life. Islanders can now forget the hassle of catching a ferry or coordinati­ng flights to the mainland. With Mile Zero Tours, all the details are taken care of, so travellers can enjoy the journey while also meeting like-minded people from their community.

Rose’s mission is to provide more than just a vacation. “At Mile Zero Tours, we believe travel broadens the mind and gives us a difference perspectiv­e on life. Every detail of our tours has been carefully considered, so guests not only see a destinatio­n, but truly experience it.”

The name ‘Mile Zero Tours’ was inspired by Victoria’s historic ‘Mile 0’ monument. Situated at the foot of Douglas Street and Dallas Road next to Beacon Hill Park, this marks the start of the Trans-Canada Highway. The Trans-Canada stretches through all 10 provinces and connects Canada from coast to coast.

Like the starting point of this iconic highway, Mile 0 is the beginning of many unforgetta­ble travel experience­s for the residents of Vancouver Island.

Destinatio­ns that are rich with culture and natural history, like the Alberta and Majestic Rockies Tour, are chosen, with visits to the Icefields Parkway, pristine mountain lakes, ancient glaciers and sweeping valleys. On the Epic Canadian Rail Journey, guests witness the dramatic change of topography between provinces, from snow-capped mountains to the magnificen­t prairies to Canada’s vibrant urban cities.

At a time when the exchange rate is burning holes in Canadian pockets, people are choosing to reinvest their travel funds in the local economy. For those who seek more than just a tour, but a life-enriching experience, Mile Zero Tours opens its doors. To join the adventure, visit www.milezeroto­urs.com or call: 250-590-0811.
