About this experience
Celebrate the holidays with a sweet stroll through downtown Victoria and historic Chinatown on the Underground Donut Tour. We begin at Empire Donuts, a local favorite with out-of-this-world treats and a retro 50’s diner vibe. Surrounded by twinkling lights and festive storefronts, it’s the perfect holiday kickoff.
Next, we walk past top restaurants dressed for the season on our way to a cozy coffee and donut shop loved by locals. Then it’s down Government Street to see the inner harbour lit up with holiday lights, plus seasonal displays at the Empress Hotel and parliament buildings.
Winding back downtown, we stop at a family-run shop serving handcrafted classics with a holiday twist. Finally, we head to Chinatown, where the tour ends at Friends and Family Bake in magical Fantan Alley. This bakery offers Filipino-inspired donuts and, if we're lucky, fresh holiday treats made on the spot.
Join us and taste Victoria at its most festive.
