Uncover Victoria's beauty with our Hop-On Half Day Sightseeing Adventure. Immerse yourself in the city's rich history and culture and discover the heart of Victoria.
Chinatown in Victoria is the oldest Chinatown in Canada and the second oldest in North America. It is worth walking through and exploring the rich history of Chinatown.
Chinatown has a wealth of natural and man-made riches, including stunning heritage architecture, ocean views and mountain vistas. It is this rare juxtaposition of heritage charm, scenic backdrop and modern city scape that makes Victoria one of the most uniquely special places in Canada.
Ogden Point is a deep water port facility located in the southwestern corner of the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The valley had been given its name much earlier in honor of a famous Canadian explorer, named Peter Skeen Ogden (1790 - 1854), who was a prominent trader and explorer for the Hudson's Bay Company. It has colorful gardens, a lovely harbor, magnificent architecture and a rich British ancestry that can be glimpsed through its horse-drawn carriages, tearooms and double-decker buses. The city is also a renowned international hub of culture, art and food more favorable for Half day sightseeing adventure.
With the completion of the transcontinental railroad, Ogden welcomed the world via the Union Station Depot, the junction for railroad travel in the Intermountain West for several decades. On March 8, 1869, the first locomotive steamed into Ogden following right behind the Union Pacific track layers.
Fisherman's Wharf is so tourist-laden that some travelers might prefer the quieter, more authentic attractions nearby like the Castro or Presidio Tunnel Tops. If you are looking to explore all of San Francisco from its alternative underbelly to its mainstream attractions, Fisherman's Wharf really is a must see in the Half day sightseeing adventure.
The wharf began back in the Gold Rush days when Chinese immigrants in junks fished offshore and provided shrimp, oysters, and salmon to feed the hordes of Gold Rushers. Italian fishermen came next, and they set up stands along the beach to sell crab, shrimp, oysters, and other seafood.
Craigdarroch Castle is a definitively Victorian experience. It is a shining example of massive houses built for entrepreneurs who became wealthy during the industrial age. It was built by coal baron, Robert Dunsmuir, during the reign of Queen Victoria and now a National Historic Site, Craigdarroch Castle, has been meticulously restored giving visitors a glimpse of privileged life in the 1890s.
Little Women was filmed at Craigdarroch Castle. It had the set for the ballroom dancing scenes where plenty of drama unfolds on the dance floor. Craigdarroch means "a rocky oak place" in Gaelic and its design lives up to that name. And What is so wonder if Craigdorrach Castle included in the Half day sightseeing Adventure.
