Nice paced tour with lots... - Nice paced tour with lots of history mixed with great food selections. The local vendors provided a variety of stops and information about the stops. I wish we had scheduled the tour at the beginning of our stay in Victoria instead of the last day. We would go back to several of the stops again!

Andy is Awesome!! - My family loves Viator food tours and Andy with A Taste of Victoria exceeded our expectations! Andy lives local and we toured some of his favorite spots and the food was amazing…from giant meatballs, purple buns, matcha, the spring rolls with peanut sauce, Korean fried chicken, and the Queens favorite chocolate! All delicious! We really enjoyed the local history he shared. Definitely a vacation highlight!! Will recommend to friends!

Wonderful !! - This was a great tour led by Owner and Operator Andy Olson. Andy was professional and full of historic and interesting stories, while still making it fun for each of us. The food was delicious and plentiful, giving a nice taste of what the area has to offer. Andy was engaging and made a point to consider and include everyone in our small group while never rushing anyone alone. We have done several food tours across the globe, and this one was one of the best. Definitely worth the cost and would recommend to anyone looking for the little gems you might not find on your own.

A tasty and interesting tour through Victoria - Our tour guide was Andy and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable about Victoria and its history. We enjoyed tasty foods at six different places, including delicious meat balls, Korean fried chicken, ube muffins, and matcha lemonade. We learned a lot about Victoria and finished the tour with full tummies. Highly recommend!

Fabulous - Andy is the best food guide in any town we’ve ever been to (over 35 different food tours now across the states and Europe). He was able to pack 6 different restaurants into 2 hours yet my wife and I never felt rushed at a single location, he explained much of the history and culture along the way in perfect fashion. I would give this 6 stars if the app let me. MUST DO!

A vibrant community of Foodies Families. - Fantastic! What a community of foodies. Andy the tour operator is so passionate and knowledgeable. It was nice to meet the creative chefs as they talked about their food. We recommend the tour to other guest at our Inn, but he was sold out. So book early to avoid disappointment .
