5.00Multicultural tastings. We really enjoyed all the history and stories that Andy wove into the tour. It was paced perfectly and every bite made me wanting to taste more… but it was so filling too! Loved the local vendor/purveyor twist. Great food scene in Victoria!

5.00Our food and history walking tour with Andy was truly unforgettable — hands down the highlight of our entire visit. Andy couldn’t have been more amazing. He’s a genuine wealth of knowledge, blending rich historical insights with fun, engaging storytelling that kept us captivated the whole time. The tour was the perfect mix of delicious food, fascinating local history, and Andy’s warm, energetic personality. He made the experience feel personal and special, and we learned so much while having an absolute blast. We’d 100% do this tour again the next time we’re back — it was that good. If you’re considering a tour, go with Andy. You will not regret it!
