Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising since 2000 and I actually worked on cruise ships for five years

Victoria is small enough to feel quaint cozy and safe

my favorite way to see Victoria is by pedal cab because the drivers individualize each tour

if your cruise includes Victoria don't stay on the ship even if you only have a few hours

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a pedal cab tour to see Victoria efficiently
Visit Beacon Hill Park for a must-see nature experience
Don't miss high tea at the Empress Hotel in the afternoon
Explore Craigdarroch Castle, but note tours end at 4:00 PM
Walk through Chinatown's Fantan Alley to see the narrowest commercial street in North America
