Victoria walking tour with food tastings and harbour ferryThis 2.5-hour walking tour moves through Victoria's Old Town—Chinatown, Market Square, Bastion Square and the Inner Harbour—with an expert guide leading stops at independent establishments for 3–4 food tastings, one local cocktail, and two craft beer samples, plus a harbour ferry ride included. The pace is built around tasting, not rushing; non-alcoholic pairings are available for guests under 19 or who prefer them.Is it for me?The guide speaks English and leads the whole group together, so you follow along at a conversational pace without needing to read plaques or use an app. This works well if you want someone to explain the stories behind the streets and the food scene as you walk, rather than discovering them on your own.
