  I just want to give it 5 stars. Why won’t you let me simply rate it? Why must I write something. You’re eliminating so many ratings by this requirement.

  On this tour as Victoria was the last but one stop on our West Coast cruise. As with other stops we looked out for a company to show us around. Our walk from the cruise terminal to the meeting point at the Empress Hotel was an easy 20-25 minutes. The tour lasted around 3 hours. Started with the harbour boat taxi that took us to the edge of Chinatown, then meandered through Chinatown, a few other streets, a stop for a snack and local beer, another stop for prawns and a shaft (drink) where we waited a long time to be served and all ended up in our phones, and then a piece of chocolate from a local business. It was all OK but a little slow paced and not necessarily that full of facts. Or perhaps it was and we’d just been more engrossed in previous tours in much less developed locations on route.

  Dave has a unique insight to the Victoria area and has lived and breathed Chinatown where the tour focuses on during the first half. He rang ahead to the eateries and Bars so we never had to wait for a table. He gave his own perspective and recommendations which had we had more time would have given us the inside track. Can highly recommend the tasters we sampled, especially the Shrimp…and the focaccia…and the Cider…everything was amazing. To round things off we ended up in Chocoholic heaven…with another taster to end the tour.

  Great tour. Be ready for 2 hours of on the go history of Victoria, interesting bites, and maybe some libations if you are inclined. This was a short stop on my cruise but it was non stop. I recommend it and if you get more time in the city, even better.

  Wow. This was likely the best tour we have ever had. The tour guide was extremely informative and also courteous and funny as well. A very well paced tour that involved stopping for a bit to eat that was enough.

  It was an informative trip and we enjoyed the time spent. Although it lists “bites” in the tour name, this is not a food tour. Just 2 tastings but good food. Felt a little rushed at food stops.

• Highly recommend for an excellent all around introduction to the beautiful history and sights Bites of Victoria

  This was my husband’s my 2nd time doing this tour. We thought the first one was soo good we dragged along 2 other couples… this one was even better than the first, which we gave 5 stars too, so this would be a 6 star rating! Ha! The tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about everything Victoria, and made sure all of the group’s individual needs/requests were met. He went above and beyond!! Well worth doing this tour more than once, as you hear different info and experience perhaps different bite stops as well!!
