5.00If you’re looking for an amazing food tour look no further than this tour with Andy! He was very knowledgeable about Victoria and engaging and always ready to answer our questions. The food was amazing and the history we learned was so interesting. We will come back and do the morning tour since it’s different restaurants to try. Highly recommend! Well worth the money!

5.00Andy is fantastic! He is the sole person doing these tours. He was raised in the area and takes you to the best hidden spots in Victoria and gives a lot of history about the area. When you book this tour, you’re truly supporting local - and that’s a big deal for me, personally. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
So Fun!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our time in Victoria! We enjoyed the small group size, and our guide was outstanding. As we walked through the city, he shared fascinating historical and cultural insights about each neighborhood and restaurant we visited. In fact, he personally knew the owners of each establishment and shared their stories, making every stop feel meaningful. And of course, literally every bite was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Victoria through its history, its people, and its incredible food!

5.00This was the best food tour I’ve ever been on! Andy was super knowledgeable and his choice of stops was inspired. We took the lunch tour and had a full meal in 6 stops. With over 40 years living in the historic area of Victoria, he knew all the little tidbits that make a tour special.
Such an amazing tour!

The best food tour I've ever been on

5.00Man, I can not say enough nice things about this tour. There was excellent food, great recommendations for a later date, historical facts, anecdotes, and information about architecture. He took us on a casual stroll through beautiful spaces while giving us information that might not have been put together otherwise. It is obvious when someone both loves what they do, and has the knowledge to give a great experience. Everyone should take this tour - for the food, the history, the beauty of the city, and the company. I would argue there isn't a better tour in viator in Victoria in ANY category.
