We always like to begin a trip with a Foodie tour to get oriented in a new city. Rebecca was a great source of information and perfectly accessible. Booking this tour was easy and the price was right. Seriously, though - Poutine? We’re in Victoria, not Calgary.

Beautiful Victoria! Michael was up on all Victoria's history. Really interesting. Wish we had a few more bites to sample, possibly in China Town.

A great walking tour of Victoria, including Chinatown and a “pickle boat” ride. Wonderful historical info from very knowledgeable Guide, Greg. Stopped off for nibbles and sips unique to Victoria. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you don’t have long to visit this beautiful island.

We participated in the tour on 8/21/25 as a group of 4. Our entire group was 9. Our guide was Michael. He was on time considerate and very mindful of the group. The tour was just as described including the small bites and sample drinks. The walk was easy and so was the pace. Michael was very knowledgeable of the city and its history. He eagerly answered all of our questions as well as those posed by the group. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk/tour as it was our first visit to Victoria and it allowed us to see downtown and familiarize ourselves.
