About the tour

Get ready for a 2.5-hour adventure through history, flavours, and hidden gems that will leave you in awe of this charming capital city!

Meet your guide outside the grand entrance of the Empress Hotel—right where the doormen welcome guests from around the world. Just look for the friendly face in a red Hidden Victoria vest (and probably a big smile).

Why Victoria? Why Now?
We kick things off with an intro to what makes Victoria such a special place today. From the lush gardens and buzzing harbour to its creative local businesses and laid-back island vibe, you’ll see why people fall in love with this city.

Harbour Ferry Ride & Chinatown Secrets
Hop aboard a charming Harbour Ferry and cruise across the Inner Harbour—wave to the captain and enjoy a unique view of the city! Then it’s off to Canada’s oldest Chinatown, where you’ll explore hidden alleys, secret courtyards, and stories of resilience and community. We’ll even stop in at a historic pub for a refreshing break and a west coast snack.

A Taste of Canada
Stroll through Bastion Square’s cobblestone paths, full of lively shops and rich history, we’ll treat you to a classic Canadian snack (you’ll love it—we promise). 

Sweet Finale & A Scandalous Tale
We end with a visit to Victoria’s most beloved chocolate shop and a juicy story about one of the city’s most corrupt characters. Want to know who he was? Join the tour and find out!
