    We never miss a visit to Beacon Hill park when we are in Victoria. It’s a great place to walk about and also encounter peacocks, ducks, owls and lots of squirrels.

    Spring time is beautiful with all of the flowers and trees blossoming.

    You can connect to the beach and walk and explore for some time if you want.

    Good half day attraction. Really interesting exhibition with 2 floors. Well worth visiting if you are in Victoria Canada.

    Had a great tour with Ryan, the architecture and history of building was brought to life. The forty or so minute tour really makes you appreciate the effort it took to get the building built, but at the same time recognizes that it was built at a different time, using different labour laws and taking advantage of a native family. The free tour is worth every moment. The gift shop is also well priced and has some good food offerings. Learn some history, learn about democracy, enjoy the grounds and restaurant!

    Interesting 'old' building, not sure it really qualifies as a 'castle' though. Definitely want to be pretty mobile to tackle the stairs to see it all.

    Fisherman’s Wharf is just another great part of Victoria to check out. Lots of restaurants to choose from. I’d love to see the area on a weekend when there would be many more people and businesses open. It was a quiet Wednesday when I was at FW, we enjoyed the views and uniqueness of the area. I know we’ll be back!!

    This attraction was well worth the money. So much to see and wonderful displays. They had one of London and so much detail went into these displays. I took so many photos. Well worth a visit if in Victoria Canada.

    Truly Magnificent Old World Dining. We enjoy visiting the "Empress" whenever we have been in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
    It is on Vancouver Island, strangely Vancouver is NOT on Vancouver Island..
    The Hotel is 1800's Class back when people travelled in High Style by Raiway.
    The Food was excellent and the servers were professional.
    So tired of Canadian servers saying "No Worries" like the just stepped off a Crocodile Dundee Movie.

    @ Oswego Hotel overnight to walk to Ogden Point Terminal to meet up with our friends on the ship. Well laid out, signs and helpful staff made it easy to find one another for a visit in Victoria. It’s a stunning view and easy access for all!

    Very beautiful layout of the land. An enjoyable setting with a feast for the eyes. Although we didn’t sit down for tea, it would be wonderful . The friendly volunteers told us the historic background of the place , that adds a lot to the experience. Truly amazing to see such well cultivated garden , tend by volunteers with fondness of the plants and place.

    In a city known for its gardens, the Government House Gardens remain basically unknown. Maintained by volunteers, these gardens are lovely, diverse, and inspiring. A guided tour is worth the expense, and I can recommend Arthur and Leslie as guides with great knowledge and a passion for the gardens.

    Government Street and the Waterfront are a Must see when visiting Victoria in the Summer. From the Extraordinary Architecture to the Tranquility of the Water and of course the wonderful Patios and Cafes.

    Just brilliant. You needn't be a kid or have kids with you.. We are in our 60s and loved it. Thought we'd pop in for 1/2 hour whilst the cruise ship was docked, and stopped for 2 hours. Wonderfully knowledgeable staff - thanks Kylie, what an infectious enthusiasm you have!

    The performance of Osvaldo Golijov's opera Ainadamar is the reason for the excellent rating. Fine performances throughout of a notable modern work. The Royal Theatre itself rates a very good rating. It's a classic movie palace of a century ago and never really meant for opera. The pit is too small and shallow, for example. Still, it serves quite nicely.
