Gray Line West, part of the Gray Line, operates a fleet of double decker buses for sightseeing in Victoria, BC, as well as regular coaches.

It is owned by Armstrong Group (formerly known as the Great Canadian Railtour Company), which bought Gray Line West from Greyhound Canada in May 2005. In November 2007, Vancouver operations were shut down.[1]

In April 2011, Gray Line West announced the company would be dissolved after failing to secure a buyer. The entire fleet of coaches has been sold to other operators.[2]
