The food, at every restaurant that he took us to, was perfect and delicious. I will definitely tell others about his tour. I will definitely visit the restaurants when I come back to Victoria.

Highly Recommend Must Do Tour - There was nothing I didn’t love about this tour. Andy is exceptional. Highly knowledgeable, warm and charming, and obviously very connected and respected by to the wonderful vendors and businesses we visited. Suggest you book this tour early in your stay, so you can pick Andy’s brains about the food scene and revisit many of his places of recommendation.
