TOUR OVERVIEW
Victoria is famous for its old world charm, spectacular oceanfront views and vibrant history. It boasts the oldest Chinatown in Canada as well as many restored heritage houses and museums. There are all sorts of unique boutiques hidden all over the city and the highest concentration of museums in BC.
Our 2 day Victoria tour offers the least expensive Whale Watching option to be found anywhere PLUS a unique chance to go for a 3-hour tour on a Tall Ship! We have searched high and low to bring you the very best deals in Victoria on our Weekend Tour.
One of the highlights of the tour is the ferry ride through the Gulf Islands and Active Pass. We encourage our guests to head out on to the open decks to enjoy the sea breeze and salty air. Keep your eyes peeled – you may just spot some dolphins playing in the wake or even see a whale or two.
This is a great chance to get to know Victoria with all it’s charm and hidden treasures. Your guide will take you on a walking tour of downtown Victoria and the Inner Harbour area to help you get oriented and then you will have free time to choose from a variety of fun and exciting options.
Our hotel is conveniently located right in the centre of downtown and is within easy walking distance of all the best nightlife and shopping.
This just be one of the most memorable weekends that you spend in Canada!
