A must do. - Informative. Guide knew his history and very friendly. The food was amazing drinks are small but perfect size because of how many stops we had. The restaurants knew in advance we were coming so no waiting at all for food or drinks.

Well informed tour leader and great bites! - We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the water taxi ride to chinatown. We heard some delightful stories about the history of Chinatown and had some good bites at Drake's. Although there wasn't much in the non-alcoholic range to drink, the hummus and focaccia bread were delightful. Later we had three delicious shrimps and a wonderful cocktail involving Bailey's all in the beautiful setting with a former bank building turned into a restaurant and bar. At the end of the tour we stopped at Rogers chocolate shop and had a delicious chocolate cream item. All in all an experience well worth my time and the money.

A lovely day exploring new places in Victoria with Hidden Tours - We had a cruise stop in Victoria and was looking for something different to do as we have been to Victoria many times. We were not quite sure how the tour would be, but Emile was an awesome tour guide. He engaged with all the customers and was very easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable and did a good job dealing with if someone had a physical limitation or did not drink alcohol. It was a very lovely and not rushed day. We are now looking forward to finding out Hidden Tours.
