Complementing your holidayWe are continually refining our sightseeing inclusions to ensure that our luxury tours are the

Once-in-a-lifetime momentsCrafted especially for APT guests, our Signature Invitations represent once-in-a-lifetime

moments. Presenting unique opportunities or granting you exclusive access to attractions,

these included experiences allow you to discover each destination in greater depth than you

could ever imagine. They have been carefully selected by our sensational staff who – during

their own time in Canada – were moved by something and wanted to share it with you.

APT’s hand-picked Signature Invitations Because of the vast and beautiful diversity of Canada & Alaska, our Signature Invitations

are extraordinary, many and varied. The following are but a taste of those that may await,

at no extra cost, when you travel with APT.

At The Butchart Gardens, enjoy breakfast in the former Butchart family home and explore

the beautiful floral displays before the crowds arrive. In the Canadian Rockies, indulge

and at Whistler, enjoy a tour and breakfast at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre.

On Canada’s East Coast, meanwhile, sample the maple delights of Québec at
