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...

Our guide was Chris and he was wonderful. Our only regret is that we didn’t do the tour our first day in town! Thanks, Chris!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.

We had a great time on the Historical Victoria Walking Tour. Very knowledgeable and entertaining guide - the 90 minutes flew by! We are local to Vancouver Island and learned so many things about Victoria that we were unaware of. As well, having ear pieces was brilliant, as this allowed us to hear Chris while we were on the move, despite the busy downtown noise. Highly recommended for all visitors and locals. Thanks so much for the experience. We'll definitely share this with our friends and plan to take the other tours when we visit next.A very interesting and knowledgeable interpreter. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! The heating devices made sure I didn’t miss a thing
