What travellers are saying
- Jane C3 contributionsVictoria is a lovely, walkable city with restaurants and shopping near the Inner Harbor. We stayed at the Embassy Inn which was a one block walk from the harbor and offered a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jennifer BIdaho806 contributionsLarge, beautiful park. There are so many areas to explore with different gardens and landscaping. I wish we had more time to go back when in Victoria. It is also nice how close it is to the ocean path.Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jacqueline RCork, Ireland647 contributionsBeautiful lifeless area in the harbour full of quirky floating houses, places to eat and souvenir shops.
It was smaller than I had envisioned but well worth a visit. We walked easily on to the centre of Victoria but there are water taxis going back and forth throughout the day.
Well worth a visit to soak up the atmosphere.Written October 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our server knew everything about the teas on offer and was expert at showing us how to brew, how to taste, and how to enjoy the entire tea experience. The scones, delicate tea sandwiches of cucumber, coronation chicken salad, smoked salmon, and French ham & cheese, were perfect. As were the selection of deserts. All of this was accompanied by a live pianist who provided a subtle sound-track to the afternoon.
Our only disappointment was the severe disconnect between the ambiance indicated on the website and reality. When making reservations, it's clearly stated on the website that there is a dress code for High Tea, with prohibitions against hats (except for fascinators or fancy tea hats), athleisurewear, flip-flops, etc. It also says, patrons not meeting the dress code may be "politely declined" entry. I had packed a dress for the occasion, but due to a hiking accident that left my legs bruised and bandaged, I didn't want to wear it, and for four days I scoured stores on our itinerary en route to Victoria to find something appropriate. I had one pair of dressy shoes with me and couldn't find anything to match. I held my breath and put together an outfit from what I'd packed of dress slacks, a nice linen shirt, a scarf, and pretty earrings--desperately hoping we'd still be let in. (We even got a phone message reminding us of our reservation--and of the dress code.)
When we arrived, the couple ahead of us were shown to their table. He was in shorts and a t-shirt. She was in casual pants, with quilted vest, and a baseball cap. They did ask her to remove her cap, but in they went. We looked around and counted three men in hats, two folks in plaid flannel shirts, lots of jeans, and two other pairs of shorts. After all my angst of trying to meet the dress code, turns out, I could have worn a burlap sack.
I'm still glad we dressed up, but we were in the minority. So, is there a dress code or not? And if not, please don't threaten the unsuspecting with being turned away!Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KjayKlamath Falls, OR631 contributionsThis woodland/wildflower garden sequestered in a residential neighborhood (at 1964 Fairfield Road) offers an uncrowded, unique garden experience – blending natural & enhanced landscapes into an artistic tapestry. Native ferns and Garry Oaks dazzle, along with the Gargantuan rhododendrons snaking skyward, tranquil lily ponds reflecting darting dragonflies, lichen-splotched boulders warming slender lizards & wizened Bonsai trees, & eye-catching flowers brightening footpaths that serenely circle to secluded resting spots. Definitely a place to slow your pace, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of Nature.
Street-side parking is limited, but you can park on side streets, and easily walk to the garden entryway – where there may be several tables with native plants or tulip bulbs for sale. Admission is by donation, and a friendly volunteer will greet you, & provide a flyer for your self-guided walking tour.
We enjoyed two hours wandering around – photographing the flowers & wild birds (over 20 species noted there); and talking to other visitors, as well as chatting with the very knowledgeable, volunteer garden staff. When we visited in September, the Golden-crowned Kinglets & Anna’s Hummingbirds were most enchanting! At the Summerhouse, be sure to browse through the wonderful photo books that identify (by season) so many of the featured flowers & trees.
And don’t forget to look in the eloquent Gift Shop by the Teahouse. Our favorite were the handcrafted porcelain pins of cats & dogs – with “22-carat gold lustre”, created by artist Winnie Tam.
In 2000, The Land Conservancy of British Columbia acquired Abkhazi Garden “to protect this local treasure” – which is truly a memorable Victoria experience, off the beaten path, and not to be missed!Written September 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Definately worth a look see and walkWritten September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RobertMJThompsonVictoria, Canada802 contributionsSince part of this street has been regulated to cater to walkers, it has become my favourite place to shop, linger or have a bite to eat. Being able to walk on the street itself makes me feel less crammed and gives me a safer perspective to view the trees, people and historical buildings. Tourists know it is a great part of their stop in this capital city. I feel proud to call it my downtown.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Victoria L6 contributionsThe royals stay here! We signed up for the free house tour. The guide was informative. The place is retro and lovely. Kids were bored though.Written September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- vanma201738 contributionsI have had many spa services over the years. I must say that the Tranqwillow Facial with NuFace treatment I received from Sofia at the spa of the Fairmont Empress hôtel in Victoria B.C. was the best facial that I have ever had. Considering the number of facials and spa treatments I’ve had over the years, it says a lot. The entire spa facility was very serene. Staff was kind and professional. I am not from the area and was here for a meeting but if I’m ever in the area again, this will be one thing I will look forward to doing once more.Written September 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Will MRaleigh, North Carolina, United States3 contributionsThis tour was awesome!!! Captain Trev and Sam were both excellent tour guides, very knowledgeable and fun to be around. Our tour was fortunate enough to see a variety of wildlife including orcas, humpback whales, sea lions, porpoises, and a variety of birds. The staff had loaner coats for all passengers, plus optional gloves, sunglasses, etc. so that everyone was able to focus on the experience rather than the conditions. I'd highly recommend Eagle Wing to anyone looking for a quality tour.Written October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Glen G7 contributionsThis full day Photographers tour was jam packed with photo opportunities from start to finish. I am thrilled with the photo's that I was able to get. The crew consisting of Sandy, Lindsey, Brendon, Algebra, and Michael did a great job from start to finish. They even found some Tufted Puffins, amazing.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Francisco P1 contributionOur tour guide Jim was super knowledgeable and was able to find two separate types of whales to observe. The experience was excellent and we got to see the seal's on Race Rocks as well. I highly recommend you check them out.Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- livtocruiseNanaimo, Canada9 contributionsOur peddler/guide was excellent, showed us hidden places we never knew existed and informed us about events. He was an awesome ambassador for the city. Would definitely do it again.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
