Mother/Daughter Getaway to Beautiful Victoria Island! - Our first afternoon in Victoria we decided to spend getting acquainted with downtown and the food scene. What an amazing tour we had with Erik! His stories about the history of Victoria Island and the architecture were fascinating. All six food stops were scrumptious, and unique. Highly recommend this as a great way to begin or wrap up your visit, and also highly recommend Erik as a guide.

A great experience that shouldn’t be missed! - The food tour was amazing! Great guide, food, and history lesson. It is a walking tour but the walk is easy and all the stops are pretty close together. I would definitely do this tour again!

Fun, informative and tasty! - This was a fun and tasty tour. The group was a great size and the guide shared great stories about Victoria. The food stops were diverse and tasty. I didn't love everything, but I enjoyed most of the items. It was a great tour on a drizzly day. Well organized, fun, and worth the price.

Must-do upon arrival in Victoria - This tour was a perfect mix of food and city tour. I've taken dozens of food and city tours; this ranks at the top. Our guide Erik was personable, energetic, and fit right in with the vibe of our group. We wanted to eat, explore, learn a few things, and get recommendations on what else to eat/see/do. Food-wise, it was a great mix of savory and sweet and enough for a full meal replacement for anyone hungry. We concluded our tour with a recommendation for dinner from Erik, which turned out to be the best meal the group had during the entire week together. Thank you for helping create a fantastic memory of Victoria! As for what that restaurant was ... you'll need to ask him ... not spilling his secrets :)

Great food tasting walking tour - We had a lot of fun walking around town and sampling food from various establishments with a very informative guide. Could have been given more information about the city itself while walking but all in all it was a very nice experience and one that I can recommend to anyone going to Victoria.

Walking, talking and eating - Erik was excellent, with stories of early city development & personalities. Over two hours walked &talked. Hit seven locations. Korean Corn Dog[Smile Chicken], Bon Macarons, and Chocolat & Co., and Seafood Chowder @ Steamship Grill were the best. Recommend replacing others. All things considered, worth the time and cost[$178].
