It is a fantastic time! You can completely relax and enjoy shopping in boutiques and dinning in restaurants you haven’t discovered or you can spend time in your favourite ones that you can’t get enough of. You never have to worry about parking or reservations as everything is taken care of all the way to an agenda of your tour. Picked up by a limousine you are pampered from minute one.

On my shopping tour, I got to enjoy 3 shops. Firstly, Tulipe Noire Clothing ( Tulipe Noire ) in Oak Bay, which has an amazing owner, Kari McLay, who carries fantastic lines and beautiful quality women’s clothing – it is a favourite of mine!  Domani Fashion ( Domani Fashion Chic ) in Trounce Ally, Downtown Victoria, this was a new boutique for me and I enjoyed seeing the jewelry the owner designed and the fashions she imports from Italy. Finally, our last stop which I thought was so fun, with unique, funky items was Catawumpus Fudge and Funk. I bought a bunch of the homemade gluten free fudge and I am so excited about trying it. Yum!

We ended our tour at the marvellous restaurant Vista 18 ( vista 18 ) where the food and views were fabulous. I also got to share this opportunity with a group of remarkable ladies who are involved in media and/or blogging.  These women are super supportive, creative, talented and most importantly fun. I look forward to my next Victoria Shopping Tour and love that I can help plan a tour that is best suited for the experience I want to create.
