join us. If you dare

This October, we’re taking a delicious detour into the haunted side of Victoria.

For one afternoon only, we’re teaming up with the famous Ghostly Walks company to explore the darker side of the city’s history — with a bite waiting at every stop.

You’ll meet your two guides downtown for an afternoon of ghost stories, local history and delicious food. One is a Ghostly Walks storyteller who knows all the gruesome details about what happened inside these historic buildings. The other is an Off The Eaten Track foodie guide who knows what’s coming out of their kitchens.

Eat. Drink. Summon the dead

From there, we’ll wind our way through the haunted corners of Old Town and Chinatown, stopping at five local spots along the way.

Expect eerie stories in haunted dining rooms, ghostly tales in shadowy alleys, and delicious bites chosen to match the story you’ve just heard. And if you need a little liquid courage, you’re welcome to order a drink along the way.

In between stops, your storyteller will reveal the stories that never made it onto the heritage plaques. Tales of tragedy, mystery, unexplained happenings and the spirits said to still linger in some of Victoria’s oldest buildings.

The tour ends with some chocolate from Canada’s oldest and most haunted chocolate shop.

Are there any beverages served?

On each tour there is at least one beverage sample. Some of our tour stops sell beverages, however we encourage you to bring a water bottle with you on the tour especially during the hot summer months.

Is this tour scary?
It is spooky rather than frightening. There are no actors jumping out at you and nothing designed to startle. The stories are true, which is usually unsettling enough.
What if I have dietary restrictions?
We are able to accommodate for some dietary restrictions however, due to the nature of restaurant kitchens, we cannot guarantee substitutions can be made for specific diets. When completing the order form, you will be asked if you have any allergies or dietary preferences. We must know in advance and unfortunately we cannot change preferences on the day of the tour.

The tour guides will provide commentary throughout the tours regarding history, cultural landmarks, insider culinary tips, exciting shopping opportunities and more. Consider our tours a smorgasbord of eating, learning, meeting locals, and a way to discover hidden gems in the city.

The tours require a certain level of physical stamina. Some tastings are on the go and seating opportunities can be limited and sporadic. There is an approximation of the distance covered in the details section of each tour.
