This complete tour covered many more scenic sites and popular areas in the city, definitely worth seeing. The city tour alone, lasts at least one hour in duration depending on traffic conditions.

We then made our lunch stop at the; Victoria Public Market, which was the site of the renowned;
{Hudson’s Bay Building} for many years. Since the stores closure, thankfully, this historic building has been completely renovated.

Residential suites are now in the upper floors and a lovely public market, on the main floor.

A Specialty Food Court & Shopping

Victoria BC Public Market

Your tour included a generous coupon for you to use, at any one of the food stalls, in the marketplace. This is not a fast food court!

Instead, it features some excellent specialty food vendors and shops in this unique and very popular marketplace.

Homemade Pies and Much More!

Victoria Public Market Food Vendor

We chose freshly made chicken bun 🥪 sandwiches and baked 🥧 pie for dessert. There are a number of great choices available in the marketplace, making it a difficult decision, on what to choose!

Caledonian Brewery And Distillery

Sampling Fine Spirits at Victoria Caledonian

The tour took about an hour and afterwards, you could sample some amazing craft beer and specialty scotch whiskey. Our guide explained in detail from start to finish the fine art of brewing and distilling.

After the tour, visitors can purchase items and spirits from Caledonian. A very well put together tour and that I’m sure everyone enjoyed.

Uptown Shopping Center

The tour concluded with your choice of getting dropped off at the; Uptown Shopping Centre which is Victoria’s {Premier Shopping Center} in the city. This tour allows for about 2 hours to shop at your convenience, and then be picked later, to take you back to the Empress Hotel, where the tour began.

For those not wanting to shop, the bus will take you straight back to the starting point.
