Best way to see, hear, and taste the city of Victoria! - This was the best way to see, hear, and taste the city of Victoria. Andy was engaging, informative, knowledgeable, and super friendly. He took us to places we never would have ventured into. We went through alleyways filled with eclectic shops, tried foods that we would never have ordered and wished we did, and told us about the history of the city. Best way to spend a few hours and learn about the city. Highly recommend!!

Choose this food tour! The best! - If 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⭐️ and Supporting Local! - Andy 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!
