Great food and history tour - Andy was an awesome tour guide. The food stops were amazing and the local history was very informative. Also, very sensitive to folks with allergies. I would highly recommend this tour if visiting Victoria or if you want to discover new places to eat

Interesting historical perspectives. - An excellent solo activity while my spouse attended a conference. Andy is knowledgeable, friendly, humorous and well organized. He loves his vendors and they love him. Excellent experience- especially half a Pair of Balls.

Fun Food and History Tour - We highly recommend this tour. Our guide, who is also the proprietor for the tour company took us to some great food locations. He provided some interesting background about the city and the business owners. It was heartwarming to know some of the owners were giving back to the community.

Great introduction to the local community - The Victoria Food Tour was an excellent experience! Andy was a wonderful guide who made the tour fun and engaging. We sampled a great variety, from meatballs to Filipino bread, matcha, and chocolate and biscuits. Everything was tasty and the guide was super friendly. Andy also shared interesting bits of history along the way about the neighbourhood, the old buildings, and how some of the local foods came to be Great way to explore the city while snacking a bit here and there! A must-try for food lovers visiting Victoria!
