Our guide Eric was very knowledgeable about the food and history of Victoria. Unfortunately our cruise had to leaver earlier than expected due to weather so we were a bit rushed but all in all It was a great tour.

Erik was excellent, with stories of early city development & personalities. Over two hours walked &talked. Hit seven locations. Korean Corn Dog[Smile Chicken], Bon Macarons, and Chocolat & Co., and Seafood Chowder @ Steamship Grill were the best. Recommend replacing others. All things considered, worth the time and cost[$178].
