Outstanding. Brenda was a fabulously informative and funny guide who shared a lot of stories about the people behind the scenes that we may not have otherwise been privy to. A true gem. Besides that - the food stops were delish and gave a true taste of many different cuisines and specialty items in Victoria’s Old Town and Chinatown!

Our tour was so much fun, super tasty, plus so informative. Since we were new to Victoria, we loved hearing the history of Chinatown and Victoria. Andi was full of good tidbits and knowledge of a town he obviously loves. The food was great and the shop owners were wonderful! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour! A.J. was a fabulous guide, sharing information about the history of the area and buildings, as well as about the food we were sampling. I lived learning the stories behind the restaurant owners and chefs whose food we were privileged to try. Go hungry!

Really well put together stops at those less known places that you might never otherwise visit. Very tasty food! Thanks

guide was great, food was great but could you have included Chinese food?
