I was in Prince Rupert on the Ruby Princess in the middle of June. First time I have been to this port. It was fun to see a new place. Very small town and easy to walk around but hilly in areas. The British Museum of Natural History is a great museum worth seeing but not on the tour. We were only given 1 hour to see both the museum and gift shop which is not near enough time to see everything!!! I took a lot of pictures so I could enjoy seeing it at my leisure when I got home. The tour is good, however, for first time tourists, as they give you a great overview of not only the town but the history of the area as well. Seeing the train museum was fascinating! And hearing its history was too. While I can't remember his name, the young man who was our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer almost all of our questions. While I enjoyed seeing Prince Rupert this time, I look forward to getting back to Victoria as I really love going there instead.
