AMAZING! Andy was an exceptional guide. Learned so much about the city while trying incredible foods. Very thoughtfully, hand-picked restaurants. Portions were generous without being overly filling. Was able to experience the city in a unique and fun way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The Food Tour was fabulous! Andy is extremely knowledgeable. We had some marvelous food, beverage, pastry, and confectionary tastings. We had Italian, French, Japanese, Southern, Ukrainian, Canadian food tastings. He gave us fascinating stories and history about all of the places that we visited. I think this is my favorite tour!

This tour was so fun! Not only was the food good, but we got an awesome history lesson of Victoria. We visited spots that we wouldn’t have probably gone without this tour. The guide, Andy, was insightful and funny and had some awesome food recommendations for us visitors in town. Highly recommend!
