Dee Burdock (American Holidays) along with Blaithin O’Donnell (Air Canada) are leading an amazing crew of top Irish agents exploring beautiful British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies, hosted by Air Canada, British Columbia Tourism and American Holidays.

The dream team includes:

Beverley Weir (Century Travel)

Fiona Gibson (Carefree Travel)

Stuart Barber (Best4Travel)

Leigh Kennedy (Oasis Travel)

Maria Blake (Hays Travel)

Stella Grant (O’Hanrahan Travel)

The crew kicked off their Canadian adventure onboard the Air Canada direct flight to Vancouver, landing at 10.15am – perfect for making the most of Day 1. Highlights included the awe-inspiring Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, a fascinating deep dive into Chinese migration history, and a delicious foodie walking tour with the amazing Bob from Wokaround Tours.

From there, the guys took the road less travelled into the heart of British Columbia’s wine country, winding their way through Osoyoos, Penticton, and Kelowna in the stunning Okanagan Valley – home to more than 220 wineries!

Next up:

Cycling the famous Kettle Valley Railway

Wine tasting & lunch at Grizzli Winery
