Great Food Tour - Beautiful City - We have been on several food tours in various cities, and this one was one of the best! Andy is a great guide - very friendly and personable, and really enjoys his job! The foods we had were all different from any we had on previous tours, and were all delicious. You know you are on a great food tour when there are several repeat tour participants in the group! We loved Victoria, and we really enjoyed this tour.

Fun Experience! - Fun experience. Andy was a great guide. He introduced us to some great food and was very knowledgeable about the area. We went back to two of his vendors, Just Matcha and Friends and Family Bake, the next day. They were so good we had to return for more.

Great food tour! - We really enjoyed this tour! We have been on several food tours and Andy is one of the best guides we have had. It is clear that he loves what he does, and has pride in his city and its restaurants. It had a good variety of tastings, and we really appreciated that Andy has relationships with each of the vendors. One little thing I appreciated was that the sweet treat at the last stop was packaged so you could keep it for later!

Satisfying stroll through Victoria - Andy really knows Victoria and his love of the city is obvious. He aims to inform and entertain his tour groups while supporting local businesses. We enjoyed our walking tour and all of the delicious food we sampled. He was prompt, attentive to our pacing and keeping the group together, and allowed adequate restroom stops. Nice to get tips on places to eat during our stay. Great afternoon in Victoria! Thank you, Andy!
