Highly recommend this fun and informative walking tour! You learn the (very interesting) history of Victoria and get to see a lot of great spots worth going back to visit later on. Our guide was Chris and he was wonderful. Our only regret is that we didn’t do the tour our first day in town! Thank...

We've been in BC for 20+ years, and have visited Victoria multiple times. Finally taking this tour will make future visits so much richer because of the layered history that we learned.
