5.00Our tour guide Erik was wonderful job of talking about the food and drinks we were getting at the different locations. Meeting Bonnie the owner of the business was a great experience and the food there was great. Overall I would recommend this tour Off the Eaten Track was the best time we had at the Port of Victoria.

5.00Victoria tour of a lifetime. Very knowledgeable and personable tour with Eric. With Eric’s food professional background and extensive knowledge of Victoria’s history, we could not have asked for more. We do food tours on most of our trips and this one was the best ever.
Fun way to spend 2.5 hrs in Victoria!

5.00Eric, our tour guide, has a lot to share on this local foodies tour of Victoria, including history and things to do and see. He is a wealth of Victoria information, familiar with the local shops and restaurants where we enjoyed interesting and tasty delights. including an unusual Korean specialty, a 'soft bar' with an amazing winning interior focusing on a variety of non alcoholic brews, soft drinks, and a focus on tea bricks (If you have read Lisa See's "The Tea Girl of Humingbird Lane" you will know this form of tea vs our lose leaf/teabags). We also enjoyed a chicken mole taco with 'grandmother's recipe', sweet treats at three locations (chocolates, macrons, and a pastry shop where we enjoyed Bourbon Pecan mini tarts). We did NOT leave hungry!
