This two-hour guided walking tour in Victoria begins inside the Phillips Brewing Tasting Room at 2000 Government Street, where the group gathers and receives an introduction. The tour then proceeds to The Emporium Dragon Alley, known as Canada's narrowest thoroughfare and located in the heart of Chinatown, spending about ten minutes there. Next, the group visits Fan Tan Alley, a lively public space that was once a market for trading animals in Old Town, also for approximately ten minutes. The tour continues to Market Square, a pedestrian area filled with shops, bars, and restaurants, where the group spends fifteen minutes. Following this, the tour moves to Bastion Square, a pedestrian-only area featuring various restaurants and shops, with a five-minute stop. The walk then proceeds along Government Street, where the original site of Fort Victoria from 1843 is located; this area now hosts restaurants, bars, and street performers, and the group stops there for about ten minutes. The tour concludes near the Legislative Assembly buildings at the Inner Harbour, close to the Destination Greater Victoria Visitor Centre, with a final ten-minute stop. Throughout the route, six local food tastings are included, which may feature items such as Italian meatballs, Korean chicken, southern biscuits, Indonesian spring rolls, tea, and chocolate. The guide provides commentary on the history and notable features of Victoria during the walk. The tour operates rain or shine. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and the minimum drinking age is 19 years. All guests are required to complete a short digital liability waiver before the tour.
