Walking Your Way Through Victoria, British Columbia

Welcome to Walks Your Way City Walk Guides!


Today, our travels take us north to Canada where we will explore the rich and colorful history of Victoria, British Columbia! We’ll dispel some myths about the climate, find out about the important role that the Hudson’s Bay Company played in the establishment of Victoria, her rise to political dominance in the Victorian era, and eventual decline and then rebirth as the City of Gardens. 


Along the way we will encounter some of the people whose vision helped shape Victoria’s beautiful, iconic architecture, stroll through some of the most historically important areas of the city while exploring a number of important buildings and businesses, and maybe even encounter a few ghosts!
