Discovery Walks
(Historical Walking Tours)
June 6 through September 2, 2013
|
| |
Discovery Walks have been around since 2001 and focus on Victoria's diverse history. They are 90-minute leisurely walks designed to give residents and visitors an extra understanding of specific neighbourhoods and interesting themes that often are overlooked. Discovery Walks are researched and conducted by a small team of local historians, artists and experienced tour guides who are passionate and very knowledgeable about their topics.
From June 6 through September 2, 2013 tours are scheduled every day at 2:00 pm and on Fridays and Saturdays at 2:00 pm and 8:30 pm. Eight different topics will be offered, based on the day of the week.
