About Victoria

Victoria is a bit of Britain.

Imagine a place so green, flowers fall right out of the sky and even the lamp posts bloom...where a colorful history is remembered in lovingly restored heritage architecture and afternoon tea is still taken in the traditional and unhurried manner.

Imagine 19th-century shop windows full of vivid tartans, fine bone china, handmade chocolates and striking native art...a seacoast city alive with the romance of an era when tall ships moored alongside the wharf...where the beauty of the Pacific Coast and the adventure of the great outdoors are within the city limits...where whale watching is more common than watching the clock, and golf is a year-round pastime.

Imagine strolling under antique street lamps to catch the last glow of sunset over the harbor as the magical lights of the legislative buildings wink on.

No need to just imagine! Experience it on this tour!
