Cinerama Posted June 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Anyone take the Victoria Pub Tour? Is it worth the $99? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozbuc Posted June 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2013 My wife and I did this a few years back and enjoyed it. upon further reflection using taxis and Yelp you could probably accomplish the same thing and save the tour money for more beer.

mkcruise Posted June 8, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I concur with ozbuc - we were on the Star a week ago, and did it on our own - printed out a list of pubs from Google, and hit five of them before we figured out we better head back to ship while we could. In each place had the best time talking to the locals and enjoying some very good beer. We did take the Princess shuttle for $9, which worked out well. Enjoy.

beg3yrs Posted June 8, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2013 A couple of years ago the Canucks were in the hockey playoffs during our port stop in Victoria. DW bought a Canucks t-shirt, wore it to several of the pubs and we had a great time! Only had to pay for about half of the beers (mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted June 8, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It is NOT worth the $99 - we did it ourselves with just a little research online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted June 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 9, 2013 FWIW, I suppose with the Princess pub crawl you wouldn't have to worry about the ship leaving without you if you drink too much ... the tour leader should be responsible for getting you back to the ship.

Putterdude Posted June 9, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 9, 2013 You will find that Victoria's downtown is quite small and compact so most of the pubs can be walked to except for a few where a $5 to $7 cab fare would be involved. Here is a list, the last two you would be wise to take a cab to: http://darcyspub.ca/ http://www.irishtimespub.ca/ http://www.strathconahotel.com/TheStickyWicketPub.aspx http://www.bedfordregency.com/pub.htm http://www.bardandbanker.com/ http://www.canoebrewpub.com/ http://www.spinnakers.com/gastro-brewpub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
