Canadian snacks galore! - Our tour guide, Brenda, was personable and had a great sense of humor. She kept us moving along between sweet and savory and provided interesting historical tidbits of the inner harbor.

Yummy Eh! - Ainsley (I hope I spelled it right) was very kind, informative, and attentive. The tastings were delicious. I was really happy to see how Bonnie, the owner, supports local businesses. I would definitely love to join another one of your tours. Thank you! Sila

Excellent food tour - Wow! What a fantastic experience. We had so much fun with our excellent guide, Ben, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. Due to the small group size, I could ask many questions about Victoria and travel. The food was tasty, and the portions were generous. We tried candied salmon for the first time and loved it! The walking pace was also comfortable. Thanks so much for an excellent time. This was one of the best food tours I have ever been on. Thanks again!

A must for first time Victoria - A tour that is absolutely recommended. We were spoiled by AJ directly at the meeting point with delicious salmon variations and heard interesting things about the store. Then there was bannock with berries, delicious. On the further way, treats were repeated along with interesting stories about the food, but also the buildings on the way to the places of enjoyment. We were altogether a group of 5 adults and a child and it just matched everything, weather, food, drink and stories. If you like food and want to learn about Victoria, you just have to do the tour.

A good variety - Firstly, many thanks to the excellent Annika, who shared several stories about locals and food with knowledge and cheerful enthusiasm. The travelling tasting menu was varied, tasty and clearly representative of Victoria, but when Annika explained that moose steak was a speciality in her native Alberta, it felt as though we were missing something. Perhaps adapt the name accordingly? Also a proud tradition of local beer brewing is evident through BC. Alas we weren’t invited to pass judgment. It was great to meet Michael and Karen from Huntsville!

Fun family tour - We had a super fun time on this foodie walking tour. We brought our adventurous eaters- 6,8,11 yo. Foods were all samples of local cuisine that you may not get elsewhere. We had a perfect weather day.

Fun and yummy tour! - My husband and I loved this and the tour guide was friendly and informative. The tasting sizes were substantial, so make sure you are hungry! Went with our 13 year old son. It wasn’t very interesting for him, so this may be better-suited for adults. Definitely worth the money, though!!

Disappointment - I read great things about this tour so maybe I was expecting too much. However, it started at the first restaurant and the second one was next door, we were given some seafood and a dessert with a cup of tap water. Then we stood looking at plants for ten minutes before getting Hawaiian pizza with nothing to drink again. Apparently the next stop was over a mile away and by this time, I had decided it wouldn't be worth the walk. Disappointing
