Variety of food and drink - It was nice to hear little tidbits about the history of the town. My favorite place was Chocolate & Co. We had a truffle and a drinking chocolate that was like a milkshake, but without sugar! It was delicious!

Nice variety - Good tour with wide variety of foods. Our tour guide was good and helpful explaining historical Victoria as well as food stops. This company gets a lot of guests from the cruise ships in for the day so be prepared for those days.

Nice tour but value is questionable. - Good tour but hard to find the value for the price of the tour. The guide was very nice and they provide some good info at the end regarding other places to visit.

Great tour guide, small portions and big cost. - The tour guide did a great job! What was provided was about an ounce and a half red and white wine at one stop and very small portions of food or just sweets at the other six stops. One stop had three minuscule pieces of cheese. Expected for ninety dollars we would be given larger portions. We did a similar tour in Cabo last year and we were well fed. When I arrived back at the hotel I had to prepare dinner.
