Private | Victoria City Highlights Walking Tour
Overview
See Victoria your way with a local guide just for your group.
Your guide meets you at the Victoria Cenotaph, beside the BC Legislature, or at your hotel or another downtown spot (small extra fee). Our suggested route follows the Inner Harbour to the BC Legislature, the totem poles of Thunderbird Park and the Fairmont Empress. Continue up Government Street past Rogers' Chocolates and Murchie's to Bastion Square and Market Square, and finish in Fan Tan Alley and Canada's oldest Chinatown.
Your tour is private, so we adapt it to you: spend longer where you like, skip what you don't, or add James Bay, Fisherman's Wharf or Beacon Hill Park. Tell us your interests when you book.
Along the way, your guide shares Victoria's history and stories, plus tips on food, day trips and nightlife. Available in English, Spanish, German and Italian.
