Great Experience, better than thought - Ben was an excellent guide with great information about the food but history of Victoria as well. I have done several food tours by Viator world wide and this was the best especially in terms of the food, amount of food stops and portions. Normally it's small bite size, but we got whole slices of pizza and chocolates that weren't cut up into smaller pieces! Sounds weird I know, but some places cut up single serving sizes but that didn't happen on this tour. Definitely recommend for the food, tour of the city, and some historical information!

You really should Eat Like a Canadian - We booked the Eat Like A Canadian tour so that we could try vetted sources of all of the Canadian must eats. We were not disappointed, and in a couple of instances pleasantly surprised. Our guide AJ was very friendly and had fun facts about the history of what or where we were eating. We would recommend!

AWESOME walking tour with and AWESOME guide! and oh, the food is good too! - I booked this tour through Shore Excursions Group for my stop in Victoria BC while on my NCL cruise to Alaska. What a great tour! Our guide was so friendly and informative (I wish I could remember her name), the stops were all so different but all so good! The Asian Corn Dog was my favorite - something I would never have tried but now I will seek it out. The tacos and sweets were good too. We stopped to taste wine, but I am allergic so the owner graciously gave me a locally made soda to taste. It was delicious! I enjoyed the information provided by the food establishments as well as the extra details from our guide. I highly recommend this tour!

Uber Eats Canada Charging my credit card - Uber eats is the worst to deal with. I will strongly advise anyone using their services. They have been charging my credit card for many months but don't care about. I have reported unrecognized charge for many months but they don't care. I will reporting them to BBB.
