Additional Information

Our excursion begins at a characteristically Victoria donut store, Empire Donuts, located at the heart of the city. Empire is celebrated for its distinctive donuts served in a cosmic 50s diner-themed environment. We’ll then make a brief journey to a highly-regarded coffee and donut location in Victoria, passing by some of the top-rated dining places (as per our guides!) en route. Once we’ve enjoyed our coffee, we’ll proceed down Government Street, enjoying the sights of the inner harbor which encompasses the Empress Hotel and the Parliament buildings. As we thread our way back to the heart of the city, we’ll ultimately hit our third donut destination, a charming locally-owned outlet for delightful donuts. Ultimately, we’ll head towards Chinatown and conclude at Friend and Family Bake in Fantan Alley. This bakery boasts an array of Filipino delicacies, including donuts, and if luck is on our side, we might catch these yummy delights being freshly baked. We eagerly anticipate introducing you to this magnificent city and its donut wonders! We look forward to your visit!

Wonderful Donut Tour of Victoria With Cait - I loved the Donut Underground Tour with tour guide Cait in Victoria! Wonderful Donuts & very interesting historical info. We walked a relaxing & pretty route to four different spots for delicious treats. My favourite was the Raspberry Lemon Donut from Younis at Discovery Coffee. Lots of great little stories about the town mixed in with Donut trivia and a few very pictuesque stops along the way. If you are in Victoria, Donut miss it :-) A great way to see the city and taste what Victoria has to offer.

A Sunday Morning Donut crawl….not cruller. - Great tour of the Victoria donut scene and a wonderful way to get a sugar high on a Sunday morning. Our guide Kate was great and very knowledgeable of the city. Highlight was our conversation with Mandy at Freakin’ Delight Donuts - got a brief but insightful understanding of what it takes to make delicious donuts.
