148 bookable tours, starting on the island
British Columbia's capital is compact, Victorian in its architecture and walkable from the cruise terminal to Chinatown. Guided walks, pedicabs and carriage tours are the ways to see it that fit a morning; private tours add Craigdarroch Castle, Beacon Hill Park and the coast road.

Victoria's set pieces cluster around the Inner Harbour: the Parliament Buildings, the Fairmont Empress, the Royal BC Museum and the causeway where the seaplanes and whale boats leave. A two-hour walking tour covers those plus the old town's alleys and Fan Tan Alley in Chinatown; the evening ghost walks use the same streets to different effect. Pedicabs — cycle rickshaws — are the local answer to a short tour with a driver-guide, and they wait for cruise ships at Ogden Point.
Horse-drawn carriages leave from the corner of Belleville and Menzies beside the Parliament lawns for loops through James Bay and Beacon Hill Park. The hop-on hop-off bus is the way to reach Craigdarroch Castle, Oak Bay and the Dallas Road waterfront without walking, and private tours in a van do the same with a guide and a flexible route.
Self-guided audio tours and scavenger hunts are listed here too. They are inexpensive and fine on a fair day, but they are apps, not guides — read what you are buying.
