Great to help navigate and learn about the history while on short stop during our cruise at night when all the establishments were closed.

Informative and interesting

This walking tour was great!! We really enjoyed it. NOTE: you must download the VoiceMap app/ set up account there for this to work. We almost gave up on the audio tour all together but then I tried clicking on the “contact tour operator” box and then all the info that explained about needing to use the app was as clearly laid out there.

Victoria is a must see!
Published on Oct, 2023
Downtown Victoria is beautiful. It is definitely worth seeing. We did a self guided walking tour so we were able to spend the time that we wanted at each place. All of the architecture is stunning and the people that we encountered were very pleasant as well. If you are in the Pacific North West you should definitely try to see Victoria.
