Celebrity Guest Hosts

Celebrity Guest Hosts

This is ONE of the key differentiators and bonuses from any trip you'll ever take. Every Journeys with Heart trip is hosted by a local celebrity - actor, chef, media personality just to name a few from British Columbia. Each trip is designed with the celebrity to pair it perfectly with their talents, expertise and favourite destinations. From arts and culture to wine and organic fares these trips are one of a kind when your hosted by one of BC's own. One key criteria of the celebs according to travellers is "fun on the bus" and you can count on that with a Journeys with Heart trip.
