Categories:
Tours,
Transportation,

After reading some of the reviews and horror stories, I am glad I didn't get any of that! My wife and I took the trip after booking with Clipper Vacations and it did cost us about $260 or so for both of us for an overnighter at Queen Victoria Hotel.…More »

4. Bistro Bon Rouge
My return visit to Bon Rouge didn't go as well as I hoped. The blackened ribeye and the escargot are no longer items on their new* menu. I had the $32 Prix Fixe plus an entree.

5. Pho Vy Vietnamese Restaurant

8. Tim Hortons
I can always depend on Tim Hortons when it comes to delicious food fast. Tim Hortons is the largest fast food chain in Canada and offers breakfast items like muffins, biscuits, donuts, sandwiches and soups. I wish there was one in WA as there are…More »
9. Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society
The history of this 5 story Castle/mansion is just one big mess. Mr. Dunsmuir passed away before the construction was completed; this led to the inconsistent construction materials used in building the mansion. The Craigdarooch Castle passed…More »

Lunch stop in Sidney. 4 stars as long as you:
-Stick with the fish and chips or the fish burger. Fish has a crispy, crunchy coating and the yam fries are great with the honey mustard(?) dip. Halibut burger had fresh fish and a variety of veggie…More »
