Enjoyed Dave's Enthusiasm for his job and his ability to share his knowledge of the the city especially in the downtown china bastion square. We have a newfound Appreciation for the history and development of The city of victoria. The samples of foods Was interesting. My favorite was the seafood seafood spread and crackers. They were all locally made. Victoria is a beautiful city.Thank you very much, Dave.We will come back.

Dave (known as Fish) was an excellent tour guide that went above and beyond. My husband uses a wheelchair and Fish helped push him and ensured he was able to enjoy all the tour's amenities including the water taxi. I highly recommend this tour as an excellent way to learn about Victoria and become oriented to Vancouver Island and British Columbia.

Great history and tour of the city. Tour guide, Gary, was awesome and very knowledgeable. Expected this to be a more of a food tour and it only had three spots of a very small amount of food. You should eat prior.

Fantastic tour of Victoria. Our guide David ( Fish) was passionate about the city and his knowledge was impressive. He was entertaining and took the time to give all in the group his attention and never rushed us. The area covered in the tour gives you a great introduction to Victoria. If you are on a time limit this tour is perfect. There were 4 passengers off the cruise ship and David walked us back nearly to the pier and shared more of his knowledge along the way. He went above and beyond to make this a most pleasurable experience

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking Bites and Sites tour with Gary! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a joy to listen to throughout our tour. We learned so many interesting and unexpected history facts and stories and saw fascinating sites. The 2 pubs we stopped at to eat and drink had very tasty appetizers and drinks. We really enjoyed this tour because we learned so much about Victoria that we otherwise would not have known. I would highly recommend this tour!
