Meet your guide and fellow pub crawlers at 10 Acres Commons. Grab your first drink, enjoy a shared pub-style appetizer and get to know the group before heading toward the harbour.
Hop aboard one of Victoria's iconic Harbour Ferries and cruise across the Inner Harbour to colourful Fisherman's Wharf. Enjoy another waterfront pub stop, grab a drink and take in one of Victoria's most unique neighbourhoods. *Not open during winter season
Climb aboard the Harbour Ferry for your second boat ride and see Victoria from the water as you make your way back across the harbour. Continue to another local pub or restaurant for drinks, a shared appetizer and more fun with the group.
Finish the crawl near Canada's oldest Chinatown at one of Victoria's best-known local pubs. Settle in for your final drink and shared appetizer. Your guide will get everyone comfortably seated before wrapping up the guided portion of the experience. The tour ends at Swan's Pub, 1601 Store Street, a short walk from Victoria's Inner Harbour.
Lindsay was a perfect host with knowledge of the area and a fun demeanour. She had us fully engaged and was prompt and attentive to our questions and the few hours flowed seemlessly.
Lindsay was amazing!! Very attentive and organized guide!! Would do again!
It was an amazing experience. The tour guide Emily was knowledgeable and really brought the experience down to earth and very relatable
Highly recommend doing this… particularly if you have company visiting from out of town. It is an easy way to entertain and the cost of the tour, when you consider the two pickle boat taxis and the shared appetizers (multiple shared amongst the group), is more than reasonable… our tour guide was just the right of sociable, sharing stories, engaging, and sitting back when the group was engaged. I think his name was Mike - I forgot to write this right away and it’s escaped me now. We had a variety of ages but found the mix to be perfect as we all had something in common on a variety of things and conversation was good. Would definitely do again.
Mike does a great job describing the city and some of its history!!!! I would highly recommend it to people visiting Victoria British Columbia!
This was a lovely way to spend a few hours with travellers. We all got on really well and had a lovely time. Possibly more healthy snacks would be good?!
We did not have a very good experience. For the price of the ticket we could have done our own pubcrawl. We booked this for my best friends 40th birthday and we only went on the boat once. The appies you got with the drink purchase was not very good, pretty much chips and salsa or pita and humas. It was a very disappointing time, we actually did not stay our last stop either. We won’t be booking again.
Our tour guide, Lindsay, was awesome. Super personable and knowledgeable. The locations we sampled were all delicious!
Very cool adventure on the Victoria waterfront! Great views...great drinks and a great host! Bronwin was amazing. She provided interesting Victoria history along the way and made the adventure fun too!
We had a blast on this trip. Bronwyn did a great job including everyone and getting us talking. Got to try some new things like the shaft and the calamari at the first place we went to was the best I’ve ever had!
We didn’t know what to expect when we visited Victoria off of our cruise ship but this pub crawl was amazing! Garret was our guide and he brought us to 4 pubs. Both the drinks and the apps were out of this world. We made friends along the way and couldn’t have asked for a better time
We booked this tour with another couple and it was a lot of fun! Our tour guide Bronwyn was such a vibe! She made the whole day that much more fun and we loved getting to tour around with her. The pickle pub crawl was a fun way to get out and about, spend the day meeting new people and having drinks. I'd recommend!
Georgia Lake, the tour guide, she made the experienced exceptional with her carisma and knowledge of history.
It’s an awesome tour , we enjoyed very much! Too much drink though but it’s supper fun and the water taxi was the best part of the whole trip ! Christine Wang
Torin was a good host/guide. We loved seeing different parts of Victoria and trying out some of the local hotspots.
Bars were average (not really pubs) and we didn’t learn anything about Victoria which was a bit of a bummer.
This was a great tour! The food was a bit dense but the activities and dynamics of the group was outstanding. I had a lot of fun.
Fun time had by all! 7 total including our Guide, so great group size for visiting the pubs/bars along the way. Using the Pickle boats elevated the experience.
This was a fun and very unique pub crawl getting from pub to pub via small water taxi boats. Our host was friendly and informative and the places we visited were all nice.
This tour had the potential to be great, but we didn’t see some of the promised landmarks and our guide “accompanied” us more than “guided” us. I hoped to learn a bit more about Victoria or at least about the areas we visited.
We had a wonderful time and great guide Bronwynn. We were in a group of 10. Very disappointed with the very small size of the appies you received at each location. Only worked out to one bite each. Way too scimpy! Not sure if I will book this event again. I was embarrassed for my family visiting from Ontario
If you want a short boat ride around the harbour for an affordable price, while also having a few brewskis. You get to meet people visiting Victoria from around the world and check some really cool restaurants and bars along the way. The tour guide was British ✅ and loved to join in on the fun 🥨. The included appetizers at each place were very tasty and a nice bonus. Would definitely do it again and bring family/friends.
Mike was our phenomenal, knowledgeable guide. We toured 4 pubs with Mike, 3 in the inner harbour and one at Fishermen’s Wharf. There were 10 of us, most first cousins and a couple of friends who came together to celebrate my sister Margaret’s 60th birthday. We had loads of fun and ordered extra appetizers at each pub. The tour came with a shared Appy for every 4 people, you had to purchase your own drinks. It was a blast. I would definitely recommend it.
We joined the group late due to our ship’s arrival…missed the first stop but that was fine..in addition to the fee for the excursion you buy your own drinks. I was told by the guide that the fee covers the water taxi and appetizers. This is the first pub crawl we’ve been on where it’s buy your own drinks. Our first stop we bought 2 beers and the cashier told us that this will apply to the appetizer discount (?) she explained that the charge is reduced by how many drinks are purchased. We found that interesting. The last stop with our group of 8 the guide got us seated and he said he was off (?) and he left us sitting at a table wondering what the deal was… a few drinks were ordered..by the people in the group…eventually an appetizer showed up.. Needless to say we were all in agreement that this ended up being an excursion that was expensive. I feel that it should be explained in detail what the cost covers and that you buy your own drinks at all stops. I think it should be said that this experience wasn’t what we expected…
Drinks are not included so it could become a pricy excursion if you want to try the drinks. The tour guide was amazing, and the food in two places was phenomenal. But I wouldn't really call the experience a pub crawl.
Jack was a brilliant tour guide , he was a great laugh and very knowledgeable, very good tour if you want to see the real Victoria. Definitely worth doing
We had a great time with our guide Jack. We learned a lot about Victoria and got some great tips and insights, but the thing Jack excelled at was bringing a diverse group together and having us laughing and sharing stories within minutes. I haven’t laughed this much in a while. He also knew a lot about local drinks and beers. Highly recommended.
Mike showed us around and we had a great time. Good snacks, cold drinks, and a unique boat ride; what else could you want on a sunny day in Victoria!?
We booked the Pickle Pub Crawl for my friend’s bachelorette party and we were not disappointed by the experience! We lucked out and had the best guide ever, Isaac. He was so easy to chat with and made the entire event awesome. It was really neat travelling around to different locations and never felt rushed, the time at each stop was perfect. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Victoria, but make sure you request to have Isaac as your guide if you want to have the ultimate best time!
We had so much fun on this tour! Isaac was absolutely wonderful and made the experience unforgettable. We joined as a group of 4 for a bachelorette and going on the Pickle Pub Crawl made our trip so much more enjoyable. Thank you, Isaac!
Garrett was great at taking us around on the pickle boats! The locations we went to were pretty nice too. Garrett also gives walking tours, so you can ask him for some history while you’re at it. A fun time all around!
Fabulous night out with 2x water taxi rides over the harbour lovely pubs where you buy your drinks but they do give you finger food which is rather good.brilliant night
What a great tour. Our host Isaac was outstanding and took us to some great bars and shared insights into Victoria.
Nice that is a small group ……………………………………………………………… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was great! Our tour guide Alan Bruce was awesome. It was my second time on this tour I brought my parents.
Very nice time with small group. Lots of laughs and personal relationships brought out the laughs. Pleasant time!
100/100 experience . We had Issac as our guide and it was the best experience ever ! Would recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do !
Issac was awesome very bubbly, friendly and welcoming
Lots of fun, great guide, well organized. Pubs provided excellent service. Appetizer's were good. Would recommend this!
Such a fun experience for a group outing or even a date. It’s a great way to explore local restaurants, try different foods, learn some Victoria history, and enjoy water taxi rides all in one adventure. We had an amazing time, and Georgia was an incredible host who made the whole experience so enjoyable and engaging. Highly recommend if you’re visiting downtown Victoria!
A fun way to see different parts of Victoria and meet new friends. Had a delicious snack at each stop. Enjoyed going on the pickle boats.
We had an amazing time with Mike! He was knowledgeable and fun. He was very interested in getting to know everyone and didn't rush us through the tour. Great experience and loved the pickle stickers!!!
My wife and I had a fantastic time, and Claire was an amazing guide. Highly recommend, and we would absolutely do another tour!
Our tour guide Mike was awesome! He had lots of great information and always made sure we were having a good time. Great way to spend the afternoon. And see some of Victoria.
Awesome adventure with wonderful host and other guests. Would recommend to anyone visiting Victoria
We had a great time! Jack was a great host!
As part of our Greater Victoria Newcomers' Group (a group for women new to Victoria), we went on a Pickle Pub Crawl on Dec 7. Our group had a fantastic time, thanks to Jack, our wonderful and very good-humoured guide, and the lovely staff at the 4 pubs we visited. Thanks - a fun afternoon and happy to recommend to visiting friends and family.
Great experience! Loved the ghost stories and the venues we did. Having a chaperone to shuttle us around was a nice touch.
My wife and I went to Victoria for our anniversary. We had a great time drinking some beverages and having appetizers around the town. We got exactly what wewanted. A nice relaxing time visiting fun spots and trying local brews
Georgia was a great guide and made sure we all had a good time. This is a really great your that lets you see lots of Victoria while having some drinks and food with new friends.
