Andy, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and added enough humour and his own spin to the tour to make it interesting and enjoyable.

We loved our walking food tour of Victoria! This city is so beautiful and Andy brought it to life for us with his knowledge and heart for this city. The food stops were phenomenal and the entire tour was perfectly arranged. HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent walking/food tour. Andy is very personable and entertaining. The various food was very good even though some of the portions were small. There was a good variety at some out-of-the way restaurants that we never would have found on our own. Well done. The stories, Andy told, were extremely interesting and informative. We highly recommend this tour.

Andy is a fantastic tour guide! Our family had a great time learning about the history of Victoria and tasting some delicious foods. We especially enjoyed the match tea and Filipino bakery stops because they were new flavors to us. Our daughter (13) is gluten intolerant and Andy arranged for her to have gf options at most of the spots.

This by far was one of the best walking tours I have been on! I have been to Victoria several times, but I still learned many new things. Our tour guide (Andy) is extremely knowledgeable and charismatic and makes the tour fun. He takes the time for people to look around while on the walk and can answer any question. You can tell he has a good rapport with the food vendors and other store keepers along the route. At 1st the cost may seem expensive, but it is money well spent for 2 hours of fun.
