Victoria: Old Town, Chinatown & Harbour Walk | Gratuity-Based
Overview
Explore downtown Victoria on foot with a local guide, from the Inner Harbour to Canada's oldest Chinatown.
Meet at the Visitor Centre on the Inner Harbour and walk along the harbour to the BC Legislature, then see the totem poles of Thunderbird Park beside the Royal BC Museum, with a short break. Continue to the Fairmont Empress and up Government Street to Bastion Square, walk down Waddington Alley to Market Square, squeeze through Fan Tan Alley and finish in Victoria's Chinatown.
Along the way, your guide shares the stories behind each stop and tips on where to eat and what to see during your stay.
The tour is gratuity-based: the price you pay on City Sky Diving is a booking fee, and at the end you tip your guide what you feel the tour was worth.
