They say that Victoria is the most “haunted” city in British Columbia! Ghostly Walks have become one of the most popular evening activities in Victoria and has been offered to tourists year around for about fifteen years now. During the summer there is a Ghostly tour offered every evening and each night of the week offers a different tour. They also offer private tours and tours in French. No reservations are necessary, just meet outside the Visitor Information Centre on Government and Wharf Street at 7:30 PM, in the summer months there is also an extra tour at 9:30 PM. Tours on Halloween night are very popular so reservations are required. If you love storytelling and a bit of horror you’ll love the Ghostly Tours in Victoria! They have since added other historical tours to the ticket which we haven’t yet checked out.
We took in the walk a few years back and it was not too scary but enjoyable (a little humour is always thrown in amongst the story telling). A great way to explore the city after dark while learning about some of the its more sordid historical events.
No reservations are needed for Ghostly Walks. Except for the tours around Halloween, all Ghostly Walks start outside the Visitor Information Centre, corner of Government and Wharf Street. Adults $14, students and seniors $12. Private tours by request.
Boo!
