Worth the time! - I live in Victoria, and took visiting family. We all had a great time, and went to some places that I have never tried before! Our tour guide was amazing. She made the tour exceptional. She talked to us all - as a group and individually- and told us about the area, the stops and the food. I would highly recommend this tour. We all left completely stuffed. My sister and I had to save some things for later!

Food and the city, all in one! - Jo was a brilliant guide, showing the best places of Victoria, the little side roads and was really knowledgeable, friendly and an amazing person - the tour ended up just the two of us but it was so good!

Easy walking. Fully accessible and so. So yummy - Such fun. The food was amazing. Everything from the wine tasting, the corn dogs, pizza, taco, and especially the two chocolate/macaron samplers had us salivating. Loved every minute of it. Happy to recommend to try it yourself.

Victoria Food Tour worth the time. - Nice selection of foods, sweets and savory. Something for every taste. Informed local guide who offered an entertaining history of the town including China Town. Took the tour early in my stay to orient myself and returned to many of the recommended restaurants.
