Best tour to see and taste the city - leaves you knowing what else you must see - Best way to see the sights of a new city. We never would have stumbled upon all the places we saw or learned the stories we heard. Our tour guide Dyson was exceptional - upbeat knowledgeable and fun. Very good value with the bites and sips that are included. Would recommend anyone whether you’ve been to Victoria before or not, take this tour - you’ll enjoy it!

Victoria is More Than Beautiful Gardens - It was a delightful day! Seven of us joined Dyson for an incredible tour of Victoria- a boat ride, a tour of Chinatown and downtown, filled with fascinating info of the city and delicious food ( and drink). I’m so glad I signed up for this tour! I had a chance to explore parts of Victoria I’ve never seen before. And Dyson added history and so many fun facts!

Lovely walking around and sampling the food and sights - Emily who owns this company is a delight. She involved everyone in the group and we all got along famously. We caught a ferry taxi up to China Town and sample food.We walked thru the market area and fan tan alley, which was great. We then walked thru Bastion Square which was great to see. We finished up at a pub, had a beer, then to a lovely chocolate shop. The time flew by, well worth money.

Victoria food, hallmark and history - We learned so much Victoria history. This was my first walking and eating tour and I really had a great time. The small group was awesome and by the end we had new friends. I thought that we would have eaten sooner but once we did eat it was very tasty and there was plenty of food. Bonus that we took a trip down a hallmark movie lane.
