WHAT YOU VISIT
Victoria Culinary Walking Tour
A local expert guide will offer you an insider's peek as you eat and drink your way through Victoria's culinary treasures and learn the city's history. A short stroll through James Bay, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Victoria brings you to Fishermen's Wharf where you can indulge in local cuisine with a spectacular seaside view from one of the floating businesses. Walk past historic sites such as the Pendray Mansion and Quadra Park to visit a fine dining establishment at the historic Steamship Terminal Building. Here a farm-to-table salad or seafood chower is paired with a local libation such as a craft beer, glass of British Columbia wine, or a non-alcohol substitute. Visit at a tasting room for samples of maple syrup and a Nanaimo bar and a chance to shop for locally made specialties. Continue your walk along Victoria's famous Inner Harbour and to bustling Government Street. The last stop on your culinary adventure offers a sweet treat at the oldest chocolate shop in Canada. Crafting delicious chocolates since 1885, Roger's Chocolates will provide a taste of history in the making. The shuttle will return you to the cruise ship pier. Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Indulge in the unhurried charms of downtown Victoria as you walk past such sites as the neo-Baroque BC Legislature building topped with a gold-plated statue of Captain George Vancouver, the historic Empress Hotel, and learn about the famous architect who designed both buildings and his scandalous and tragic ending.
