Itinerary

  • Inner Harbour

    Meet your guide by the Inner Harbour in Downtown Victoria, and then set off on your 1.5 hour walking tour to explore the highlights of Old Town, Bastion Square and Chinatown. History and human drama abound in the area, and as you walk your guide will point out examples of beautiful 1800's architecture.

    10 minutes

  • Government Street

    Victoria is a walker's paradise and because it is a compact city, much historical ground can be covered in a short time.

    10 minutes

  • Bastion Square

    While Victoria is known as a quaint slice of Olde England, the city certainly has its scandals and dark stories too. In Bastion Square learn about Victoria's many public hangings and how the authorities tried to maintain law and order.

  • Market Square

    When Victoria was a booming sea port, Johnson Street was our Red Light District.

    10 minutes

Walking tour absolutely great. Our guide friendly & zeroed in immediately to our interests. Right away we felt like tour designed just for us. Only 2 of us but tour went on as scheduled. Thank you!

History, context and nuance

Published on Oct, 2024

I do not exaggerate in saying on of the best and most informed historical sight seeing experiences I’ve ever had! From details like headsets that ensured all travelers could hear our guide, to contextual stories and even a little scandal, Chris and Oake over delivered!
