Spring foodie tour - My husband and I took this tour and we were happy we did. AJ was our tour guide and he was very personable and a true fountain of knowledge. We were taken to some hidden gems around the city and enjoyed hearing the history. We just moved to Victoria a year ago as of writing this and are excited to revisit the restaurants we tried on this tour.

You May Get a New Favourite Restaurant - The food was great, and you certainly don't leave the tour feeling hungry. I have already returned to two of the places we visited. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend for travelling foodies - We had a wonderful and memorable experience on this walking tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the local area, funny, warm, relaxed and full of stories. We felt like we were with a local celebrity as everyone we ran into seemed to know her and stopped to chat. Loved the casual vibe of the tour, the food was plentiful and absolutely delicious. Excellent choices for tour stops and we felt very well taken care of. Lucked out with beautiful weather as well. Thank you for a lovely experience in Victoria!

Very good. 10/10 - Highly recommend. The tour was fantastic. We learn so much about the area and got to try amazing food. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Because I gave them enough notice they were able to cater to dietary restrictions really well.

Incredible Tour! - A fantastic mix of incredible food and historical facts about Chinatown. Jo was our tour guide, and every stop they happily chatted with the business owners and has obviously cultivated a great relationship with everyone at the food stops. We ate a lot and learned a lot, I couldn’t recommend this tour and our guide more!
