Canada’s Oldest Chinatown Tour

Join me for a storytelling tour of Canada’s oldest—North America’s second-oldest!—Chinatown, right here in Victoria.

As we travel, I’ll tell you some of this city’s best stories, both historic and contemporary. And of course there’ll be plenty of opportunities to take photos!

The Twin Castle Tour: Craigdarroch Castle and Government House

Take a trip off the beaten path to two of the most majestic estates in the City of Victoria, starting with the official residence of the Lieutenant-Governor, which also plays host to manicured rose gardens and stunning views of the Olympic Peninsula. Then we’ll head up to Craigdarroch Castle, the bizarrely opulent pet project of an eccentric millonaire in the 19th century.
Flowers, historic scandals, this tour has everything! Includes a walking tour in the castle itself (if open).

The Parking Lots of Victoria: a fun and bizarre way to experience this city

Although it originally started as a joke, this quirky alternative tour has quickly become a seriously fun way to explore the city. Going from one parking lot to another, we catch glimpses of historic ravines, floating neighbourhoods, Canada’s second longest mural, and much, much more. As it turns out, parking lots can be very interesting indeed!
