Bus drivers, like migrating geese, have an innate sense of direction and the ability to look adorable when blocking traffic. Observe calculated cuteness with today's Groupon: for $24, you get two tickets to a deluxe Victoria City tour from CVS Cruise Victoria (up to a $49.28 value, including HST).

During the Victoria City tour, the chauffeurs of the CVS buses steer through the capital's scenic downtown and coast on their way to breathtaking countryside panoramas. Live narrators spout history and folklore throughout the 90-minute jaunt, which stops first at Songhees viewpoint, overlooking the inner harbour, and The Fairmont Empress Hotel. A drive down Government Street gets passengers up close and personal with legislative buildings, remnants of Fort Victoria, and Canada's oldest Chinatown. Afterwards, wheels roll carefully through Antique Row, gliding past Craigdarroch Castle, the lieutenant governor's mansion, and a halfway house for runaway Tiffany lamps. A cruise up to the Mount Tolmie lookout allows for bird's-eye snapshots of the city and countryside before a final brush along the waterfront and a tour of Beacon Hill Park. The tour schedule, outlining times and pickup locations, is available online.
