Tips + Tricks
Let’s Visit Victoria is your insider’s guide to BC’s capital, built for travelers who want more than another top 10 list. Our immersive guides help you experience the city with intention through curated itineraries, seasonal picks, and those local recs everyone promises but rarely deliver.
Picture local seafood and small-batch cider to walking tours led by locals who know their stuff. We’ll point you toward standout eats, unforgettable experiences, and music festivals worth planning a trip around. Because in the end, it’s the people, the culture, and the atmosphere that make a city unforgettable.
The Backstory
This site exists for one reason: because we’re a little obsessed with this city (and we think you might be too). Everything on Let’s Visit Victoria is written by locals who live, eat, wander, and daydream in Victoria, and who genuinely want you to love it like we do.
Our founder, Janine, has spent most of her adult life here, with just enough time away to realize there’s nowhere quite like it. She built this site to share her hometown pride (and strong opinions about baked goods) in one place and to help travelers experience the side of Victoria that locals actually talk about.
