Late Night Bites and Victoria Sights Foodie Walk

Victoria comes alive at night, and so will your senses on this unforgettable evening walking tour that blends gourmet tastings, captivating stories, and the city's charming nighttime ambiance.

Just steps from the cruise shuttle stop, your culinary journey begins outside the visitors Centre, where your friendly local guide will greet you for an immersive exploration of British Columbia's capital. Your first stop is the stylish Block Kitchen and Bar, a local favorite known for its globally inspired small plates. Here, you'll enjoy their signature bao, choose from succulent pork belly or crispy tofu, each a delightful fusion of texture and flavor that sets the tone for the evening ahead. As the sun dips lower, take a scenic walk along Victoria's picturesque Wharf Street before slipping into one of the city's hidden gems: CERA. Tucked discreetly behind an unmarked hallway, this sleek, speakeasy-style bar invites you to experience one of its modern, Korean-inspired cocktails, a bold creation served in a space as intriguing as the drink itself.

From there, the tour leads you into the historic heart of Bastion Square, where the city's Gold Rush past and ghostly legends come to life. As your guide shares chilling tales of Judge Begbie, the infamous 'hanging judge', you'll bite into a local culinary treasure: the city's best fried chicken sandwich from Birdman, a hidden 'ghost chicken' beloved by those in the know. No evening would be complete without a sweet finale. Enjoy a leisurely stroll down Government Street, aglow with twinkling lights and architectural charm, before indulging in a decadent local dessert. The tour concludes conveniently near the cruise shuttle stop, leaving you perfectly positioned for a seamless return.

Perfect for cruise guest and night owls alike, this curated walking tour offers a unique blend of Victoria's finest flavors, hidden corners, and rich storytelling, all brought to life under the stars.
