I stumbled on this channel by accident at work. Our Alzheimer's patients LOVE watching the trips esp our retired truck driver. We talk about states and enjoy the views.

Victoria is a beautiful city to visit and has many tourist traps. There are a couple must see places that are worth the money and time. Buchart's Gardens entrance fee is expensive but the gardens are spectacular. Another often overlooked offering in Victoria is the Royal British Columbia Museum across the street from the Legislature. It is reasonably priced and well worth the time to explore, especially if it happens to be raining when you visit.
A perfect day in Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. A visit to the beautiful capital city on British Columbia Day public holiday. Very interesting, I can smell the fresh ocean breeze!
I must say that the music is so important in these videos it's like the selections guide you through the video. It's never boring I absolutely love it
The thing I love about your videos, is that I feel like I’m actually traveling with you without living my house! An it’s another great video btw!!
That is exactly how I feel. Not sure it can get any better unless you're physically there. Robert's choice of music with his videos is by FAR the finest of ALL the UA-cam travel providers.
Lee Rothman yeah , pretty much
Hi
Legit
I miss the northwest. It's my home. Thanks for the upload;)
Best video of Victoria ever. I live in Vancouver BC and always go to Victoria on the huge ferries to play tourist at least once in the Summer. It's an amazing city. I highly recommend you take the water taxi to Fishermans Wharf! You will not be disappointed. Thanks for this!! I can't wait to get back there! ☺
I'm so envious that you got to visit my favourite city in Canada. I'm from a different part of Canada (Calgary, out in the foothills of the Rockies... You should drive up here some time!), but I'm slowly working on my wife to move to Victoria some day. The last time we were there, we even stayed at the James Bay Inn! The next time you go, I highly recommend Beacon Hill Park. It's a beautiful English-style public park with gardens, lawns, fountains, weeping willows, and cricket pitches. Then it climbs a hill to the beacon, which looks back across the Salish Sea to the Olympic Peninsula. If you go down towards the water, you can walk along the pebbly beach and glacially-scoured bedrock of the Dallas Road Sea Cliffs... Oh man, now I want to go back!
We stayed at the James Bay Inn as well. Loved it. Beacon Hill Park was a great surprise.
Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn filmed a few scenes of Bird on a Wire in Victoria including Market Square and Fan Tan Alley
Love those little water taxis doing their choreographed dance on the water.
Yes too cute and in unison!
I am impressed on your research of historic buildings, specially for those outside the US. Thanks for sharing.
WELCOME TO VICTORIA! I NEXT TIME STAY LONGER :)
Beautiful, now I have to go there
its so weird seeing my city from a tourists point of view, pointing out things ive walked by a thousand times and never noticed
We don't often play tourist in our own city. How did I not know the water taxis do a dance? I used to go to the Y 3 times I week and have never been in that church, why didn't I at least peek inside?
@@dustigenes As locals, we tend to take a lot of what we have for granted, until we don't have it anymore, or someone else points it out. Lol
You're lucky to live there. Victoria is a very special place.
We did the same thing in July of 2019, ferry to Victoria from Port Angees. Stayed in Victoria for two nights. Make sure you add Butchart Gardens next time you visit.
Yes, a tourist trap but a very impressive one at that.
I love Victoria. When I was in jr high and high school I marched in Victoria Days parade. We took the ferry from Anacortes Washington. So much fun!
Im still recovering from my surgery. Sleeping 16 hours a day. so this is my highlight today. Thanks for the video.
Kristofer Olsson best wishes for a speedy recovery
@@randallsampson1084 Thank you!
Wishing you a smooth recovery
Whata Bellisemo city Robert! I have always wanted to go there. Thank You for taking us all! You sure did alot of walking. You will sleep good tonite!!
Happy Traveling Robert day!!! I hope everyone enjoyed our trip to B C as much as I did. Everyone have a blessed week.
Victoria British Columbia is a very beautiful town! I gotta check it out when I go back to Seattle and take the very. Again as always, thanks so much for having us on your journey! See you next time on the next adventure to Canada with Minitini! 🤟🏻😊🤟🏻
Robert :Thanks for visiting Victoria. We live about 20 minutes outside of the city, on the way to two other ferries that connect us to the Mainland. When/if you get a chance to return, you may want to use one of the other ferries, as they both navigate through some interesting little islands. One note for the other fans here - the fare for Robert on the Coho was a return fare for just a passenger, no RV. Those contemplating taking their RV on the ferry should consult the respective web sites for fares, specials, etc. The ferry routes are operated by Black Ball Transport, Washington State Department of Transportation, and BC Ferries.
I live in Victoria, such a wonderful city!
Nice travel blog, but next time you have to spend at least 3 days in the Victoria, B.C., to truly see the sights!
Thank you for representing my city the way you have, with class and dignity and the respect it deserves. Thankyou for being true to our city.
I always learn something new. Didn't know we can take a ferry to BC. $38 round trip! Great deal!
Actually, it's to Victoria on Vancouver Island (not the mainland). You can see the US Olympic mountains from the southern part of the island. They aren''t that far appart.
@@patricescattolin43 But you can then take the ferry from Sydney to the mainland.
Victoria is very pretty looks like a great city. The castle was spectacular really liked the strain glass. Great work Robert
I lived in Victoria BC for five years back in the early 90s and regret not taking the time to explore the city and island more. Thanks for bringing back the memories! Now I want to go back and visit!
This was great! Western canadians are very proud of Victoria. Thanks! 😉🇨🇦
Thank you for this informative and entertaining video. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
I LiVE HERE LOL IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!! Vancouver island is amazing!😊❤
I went to Victory once with my family. At the time the Koa in Port Angles was offering tours, from the campground. Our tour included transportation to and from the campground, ferry ride, Butchart Gardens, time in Victoria and bus tour around the Victoria area. There is a nice restaurant down the street called Dupuis Restaurant from the Koa.
Love Victoria!! Long overdue for another visit!!
Happy your enjoying Canada, nice video .
It's so neat to see the perspective of my city from the eyes of someone who hasn't visited before!!!
I think Robert is having a good time.
Par usual, great videography, great editing and wonderful
Musical accompaniment!
I truly enjoy your videos Robert! Your a great creator. 👍🇨🇦
Very awesome video, it's a cute historic unique town
the next time you go, spend time at Butchart Gardens.
Wow, another great video, thanks for sharing, keep the videos coming and safe travels 🙏
I never expected my home city to ever be showcased on UA-cam!
Hopefully everyone loved what they saw of the beautiful Victoria, BC!
Great video Traveling Robert! I've been a subscriber for a long time, but felt compelled to let you know that you showed me alot about Victoria that as a Canadian I could only hope to visit. I"ve been to Vancouver at least a dozen times, but never to the island. Enjoyed your Toronto, 1000 Island and Quebec City video as well! Your videos and editing are top notch as well as your vocals! Keep up the good work!
“Now that’s the real organ”
Love the pipe organ into the Hammond at the church . Really seamless
Great video. Very beautiful place. I think I would live in a city like that. May be live a time in that place. Congrats...>>>
Gotta love that shot of the sea plane landing while you were on the sea taxi 🌊✈️🚕👍👌
i love here and i’ve seen all these places but i guess i don’t really think about how beautiful it all is since i’m so used to it
Wow what a really nice trip to Canada. Time for me to dust off my passport. You had the perfect weather day too. Thank you looking forward to Seattle.
Great day trip and a really good look at Victoria!! Thanks for taking us along!
I really enjoyed the trip sitting in a chair but travelling alongside Robert. Excellent in every parameter. All The Best 🌹
From Port City Kakinada, East Godavari District. Andhra Pradesh. South India
Lovely looking city👍
You pick the best time of year to visit the northwest. Victoria is beautiful. I was hoping you would stayed for an overnight. So much still to see and do there.
I was at Craig darroch castle when I was 8 and again when I was 19 while it was still being renovated at converted from offices to a full blown museum. I love Victoria. The empress hotel is beautiful. Most of all is Buchart gardens.
My 2nd visit to Victoria. You actually saw a lot more than I did, I think. I have many memories though and stories of the place. Thanks for the trip. Aloha
Haven't been to Victoria since my father took me on a road trip (from California) in 1982. Remember well that ferry ride from Port Angeles. Afterwards we went to Friday Harbor
Thanks Robert ,love your videos .
Your so good at this programme.
I've been to Victoria many times over the years and missed many of the hot spots you showed in your video. Nice presentation of this lovely city!
Excellent my friend. I have to comment on your vid clip art. Super job, you really put a lot of thought and talent into these new styles you've been working with. That is definitely the first time I've ever seen a poo bucket attached to the horse.....LOL! Nice footage of the sea planes and harbor. Always a treat to hang out with you on a Sunday.
Too bad you didn't spend more time. Just outside of Victoria is a beautiful garden
called Buchart Gardens. Oak Bay is nice to walk around and there is a scenic drive along Dallas Road
Robert that was awesome and thank you for going into the churches I appreciate you doing so, I enjoy it . What a nice place with horse carriage rides I did one in Boston years ago. 😊
Smashing video! Victoria reminds me of my home town in Melbourne, Australia. The architecture, parks and gardens and laneways in the city all very similar. And yes, even water taxis on the Yarra river. 👍
Hello from MIAMI... Love your journeys! Can’t wait to make that trek to the NW Pacific coast. Safe travels 🙂
If you EVER go back you MUST visit Beauchart Gardens! One of the most beautiful places on earth!!
@Kevin McDougall LOL, THX!
The Gardens are even nicer during the Christmas holidays utilizing approx. 2,000,000 lights throughout the facility.
Totally agree, this Butchart garden is absolutely beautiful. It was 10 years ago I visited Canada, good memories there. You have an eye for details Roberto, not only does the whale needed a shave, it could use a haircut, ha ha.
Leo K., I think that was the whale's spout LOL🐳
Thanks for the very nice video. I was in Victoria once and never saw any of the places on your video. I couldn't believe the sea planes were landing in the bay so close to the city. Really enjoyed it and the nice spots you found in Victoria.
OK Robert, I don't mean to take away from your other videos, because they are always good, but you really outdid yourself with this one. Conscientiously taking all the different angles of video of everything all day, doing research on different subjects to add interest and spending untold hours putting it all together is no easy feat. I include your personal music to put the cherry on top that resulted in your final product being EXCELLENT. Your video was great. As always, have fun and be safe.
The water Taxi is so cool! cheap too
Going to see Attle? Just a joke! I was there a few years ago on a cruise ship. Beautiful city.
With Seattle and Victoria so close to each other, I'm surprised that Seattle hasn't taken a few pages from Victoria's book on how pretty a city can be. Victoria is absolutely elegant and gorgeous. A seaplane ride would have been fun too.
Robert , first time I write , you have become kind of a goal to be , you are truly living free , I remember when you were very young and we work together for a little bit in win Dixie , first time I saw you my impression was that you were a smart nerd type with your glasses and hair ,many years later I find you here and I was kind of right you were a smart guy by leaving the rat race and become truly free in your rv .happy travels don't stop.
Hello Traveling Robert! What a great tour of Victoria. I was with you the whole time seeing the wonderful sights of Victoria. Such a beautiful city. Now it's on to Seattle, and I'm really looking forward to the next video. Seattle is a great city. Great video Robert!
ANOTHER great adventure. You just keep making them better and better.
Very nice video! Thank you!
I was there 50 years ago on a day trip from Port Angeles. Your wonderfully well done video makes me long to return for a longer stay.
You do the best travel videos, keep them coming, I'm hooked.
Best soundtrack to a travel video !
Goooood morning Robert! Thank you for the new video. Have a great day. Remember, you and your family are in our prayers. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴👍😎
You missed going to the museum which was right acroos from the Empress. Natural history .
Always enjoy your programs Robert.
Howdy Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another magnificent video here covering your visit to Victoria in Canada.I have been traveling a lot in Europe ever since I retired in 2015 but I have never been to the USA (so far).However, thanks to the many great videos I watched on your channel up till now I have a very good idea of what it looks like out there in the New World.A million thanks for giving me the opportunity to get to know your amazing country through your videos buddy.And who knows,one day I may well decide to cross the Atlantic ocean and visit the continent myself.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William across the Big Pond(Bruges,Belgium,Europe).
Hello from Victoria! What a wonderful perspective you've brought to my home town. I love hearing that visitors have enjoyed their time here!
Another great video. Thank you Robert.
My hometown . Welcome to Victoria
My home area in Port Angeles until last year. Nite Live in Seattle. I Love Victoria, too bad Port Angeles could never capture the ambience of Victoria, BC. Since we've got that mountain meets the sea beauty. You are so articulate, your narrative is perfect, you're calm. and very knowledgeable! Love your accent, where are you from, or what's your heritage? I'm Spanish.
I was born in Cuba
That is so beautiful ❤️❤️ I have to go there
GREAT VIDEO.....I HAVE TO VISIT THERE SOMEDAY.
Had a incredible day trip to Victoria and lunched at the Empress with my Aunties!!! Gorgeous place!!
Thank you for your interesting videos!
Thank you so much Robert !
awesome trip! thanks for sharing Robert!
Your background music makes your videos very enjoyable 😁
Robert, I am enjoying all your videos the last few days. It's like traveling with you. You seem so relaxed. I can;'t imagine doing all the driving you do and you never seem to look tired. I love your vocal descriptions when you travel and whereever you are you are enjoying yourself. I'm getting to see some of these great United States through you and enjoying every minute. Stay well and safe durig these times.
Beautiful day in Victoria. Thank you Robert😊
Thanks Robert I sure enjoyed traveling to Victoria again. The many times I've been able to go there through out the years having family living in Port Angeles has been totally fun, memories, your visit was also lively. I'm going to have to take one of the taxi's across next time I go there it looked like a blast. Great Day too! The Sun was shining on you! I love riding the Coho Ferry! Thanks so much!
The video was so great. I love your travel story.
Thank you for visiting our home town, Robert. Wish we had been home on that day as we would have happily given you a guided tour...maybe next time.
Great video, as usual!!
Very nice work. I spent time listening to your note arrangements in your music. Very clever.
Traveling Robert I hope you enjoyed your trip . Love your videos keep them coming
Another great video! In my opinion, you are the best traveling UA-camr.
Everything looks so clean and new there.
As usual a great video. Your music really adds to it.
I'm moving to Victoria tomorrow, i'm so dang excited. Cant sleep, caught a second wind 😅
Thank you for this video, put me at ease and now i'm more excited than nervous.
