Make this tour the first thing you do in Victoria! - It was a perfect blend of history and food. All of the food was delicious and places we wouldn’t have found on our own. It is very evident that Andy wants to give each guest the best experience possible. Would do this tour again for sure!

100% DO THIS! Good Food, lots of food. - Enough food made you feel full after! Not tiny nibbles or samples of food...actual portions. Knowledgeable guide, Andy, was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed.

DON'T EAT BEFORE THIS TOUR! - Lively, friendly and engaging host, Andy! So many different taste opportunities, and you will be stuffed! The tastes aren't just tiny samples, but truly a filling portion at each stop! Lots of history and informative bits of trivia shared by this knowledgeable Victoria guy! Thank you again, Andy.

Twice excellent - The variety of the food stops on the tour was great. My favorite was the bakery. I’ve taken the morning and afternoon tours and they have different stops. Andy does a great job of presenting history of the neighborhoods and backgrounds of each tour stop. He is also mindful of participants allergies and provides alternatives.

Best walking tour! - What’s not to love about this tour?! You get delicious foods at 6 different stops, a knowledgeable guide, interesting anecdotes, and a nice walk through downtown Victoria. There was just the right amount of food. We had a light snack at 11 before our tour at 2 which was perfect. All the foods were delicious, impossible to pick a favorite but the pierogies and ube bun were amazing. We arrived on the clipper about 10 and the 2 pm tour worked great. HIGHLY recommend!

Great way to spend the afternoon - very tasty too. - I booked this tour last minutes as I was looking for something to fill our day. It was great! The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and fun. We found out lots of interesting history and got to taste many different items. We had both sweet and savoury items. We also learnt how to make a matcha latte. It was not a long walk and all of it was flat so you don't need to be worried about the walking. Don't eat before you go on this tour.
