5.00We liked Andy just as soon as we met him. He was upbeat. He introduced himself to the entire group in a very personable way. A longtime resident of Victoria himself, he knew not only every one of his vendor partners but the history of each area and the city. I can’t say enough about how good the food and/or drinks Andy introduced us to were. And it was a great mix of options. Honestly one of the best overall food tour experiences my wife and I have ever been associated with. I would highly recommend Andy and his company, A Taste Of Victoria, for a guaranteed good time for all.
Wonderful!

5.00What a fun tour — perfect combination of history and foods of Victoria. Very walkable tour and our guide, Andy, was excellent. He has been conducting these tours for over 10 years and is extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Schedule this tour early during your stay in Victoria so you have time to go back to some of the places you visit. I appreciated the focus on locally sourced foods and locally owned restaurants that are making a positive difference in the community. The history shared about the city was interesting and relevant. We are very glad we participated in this activity and returned to 3 of the 6 restaurants we visited on the tour.
It’s a good time, book it.
