This was an awesome experience. Hearing the chef’s or owner‘S stories really added to the tasting. The history tidbits were just right: very interesting and just long enough to keep us all interested. The time just flew by.

I enjoyed the tour. Andy was amazing and he offered a variety of food and drinks. We started with fish tacos and the sauce was perfect. The meals were all amazing plus it was a small group. I also like the fact that i could join this as a solo traveler. The highlight was definitely the beer and chocolate at the end.

Victoria Food/History Tour
Clare_K

Andy was a great tour leader. Added lots of small bits of history to the area that never would have picked up on just walking around. Food tasting portions were more than adequate. Went to places, I never would have stopped. GR8 value for the money.

A Victoria Must-See ...

Andy was energetic, delightful, entertaining, full of interesting anecdotes on local history (complete with antique photos) and very patient ... we were late to the meeting point, but managed to unite with the tour in progress at the 2nd or 3rd destination ... each of the remaining destinations were unique and truly enjoyable ... each a stop worth more of a visit at a later time ...
