About the tour
Learn all about Victoria through a 2.5 hour historical and culinary journey that will have you in awe of this beautiful capital city! During December we will have festive elements added to our tour to get you in the holiday spirit
The tour will meet outside the entrance of the Empress where the doormen are. Your guide will be wearing a smile and a red vest that says Hidden Victoria.
We start the tour with a brief overview of Victoria and what makes it such a special place to live. Our expert guide will tell you interesting facts and history about the Inner Harbour while you head over to the Harbour Ferry to get a ride to Chinatown! *Mon - Thurs harbour ferry / food substitute in winter months
The harbour ferry is a great way to see the Empress from where it was built to be seen – from the Steamship that came from Vancouver. Learn about our busy harbour and ask questions to your happy ferry captain on your way over to the other side of town.
Explore the architecture of Chinatown and learn about its darker side from the late 1800s. Discover hidden alleyways and courtyards that were a maze that the Chinese men built and used well. Take a break at a historical pub that is a long-time favourite to the locals.
Continue the tour to a modern hidden brewery to try a few sips on a beautiful patio. Learn about market square before heading to get another view of the harbour and enjoy the most Canadian food there is – if you don’t know, we will surprise you!
Meander through the cobblestones of Bastion Square to Government St, the oldest street with the oldest buildings in Victoria. Every building on this street has a story to tell but don’t worry, we won’t talk about them all.
Make your way to the most famous chocolate shop in city before heading back to the Inner Harbour to hear about the most influential and corrupt man in Victoria’s history.
