Believe all the 5-star reviews. This is a great tour! - Can't say enough good things about this tour! We stopped at 7 different places for a mix of savory and sweet things to eat, plus a warm matcha latte. Andy is a warm, kind, knowledgeable host who clearly has a genuine passion for food and Victoria. I learned so much about this city and feel much more capable of navigating the downtown area. Andy also gives guests a QR code at the end of the tour, from which you can get details about all the places we visited, plus other recommended restaurants in the city. So good! You should go on this tour:)

Eclectic food tour in Victoria - Fabulous food tour. A good mix of savoury and sweet. We learned a lot about Chinatown and Old Town and 2 hours was just the right length. We were even given a coupon for a small beer at a local pub! Highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend! - Andy is the sole owner and operator and he puts his heart into it. What a great and entertaining way to learn about the history of Victoria while you get to taste so many yummy things along the way. I would have bought a gallon of the Salsa Verde on the meatballs if I could. The Filipino bakery Friends & Family was also a big hit - wonderful couple. We went to six different places, and they were all delicious. Come hungry, because the portions are generous.

Victoria Food Tour - Excellent tour with a nice mix of food and history. Company is a one-man show and he was totally entertaining. I'd advise to take the tour early in your trip so you can go back and eat at some of the amazing restaurants.
