About this experience
Victoria’s rich chocolate heritage and historic charm comes to life on this decadent and informative self-guided walking tour. Perfect for chocolate lovers and history enthusiasts alike, this walking tour takes you to some of the city’s most historic landmarks and churches. There are plenty of opportunities to treat yourself to delicious chocolate from some of my local favourites, beyond the tourist destinations.
The tour starts at the Steamship Terminal Building along the inner harbor and winds its way through the downtown core, where you’ll find bustling local streets like Government Street. I’ll show you magnificent ecclesiastical buildings like Christ Church Cathedral, one of Canada’s largest churches, which offers a fascinating look into the city’s spiritual history.
