Seaside homes and Gardens Tour
Come experience what makes Victoria special through our tour of the historic heritage neighborhood of James Bay and the spectacular Beacon Hill Park.
Our guides will educate and entertain you with information about the history of our city, as it evolved from a small fur trading outpost to a booming gold rush town, to the present day capital of British Columbia.
We have lots of stops for photos along the way, so be sure to bring your camera.
Our guides are able to customize your tour based on what you want to see, feel free to inquire either before booking or while on tour about any wishes and we will do our best to make it happen.
