Had a great time, even though it was drizzling. Helen kept us all entertained, informed, and well-fed!
We didn't think we'd like this tour, but it was actually great. Eric our guide had a great personality and brought his culinary experience to the tour. Enjoyed all the stops and great info shared. Definitely a "do" if you want to learn more about Victoria and taste their cultural icons and favorites.
Erik was a great guide that provided interesting information about the food & drinks we tasted, about the places we visited as well as about the history of Victoria and Vancouver Island. He did thus with humour and professionalism. We really enjoyed this tour.
Really fun tour, lots and lots of food and history. Eric was very personable and knowledgeable
Tasty, informative, highly recommended! ERIK was amazing!!!
Our guide was knowledgeable and really friendly!
My wife and I did this excursion during our Alaska cruise and a heads up it is not readily available as an option so it was not packed so it was much more enjoyable, and the price was very reasonable. we had Helen as our guide and she was super knowledgeable about the area and the history of the food and Victoria itself as well. Definitely 5 stars for the guide, the only thing they don't tell you is not to eat before the tour there are quite a few stops that you walk to and each meal is a full portion of food so tread lightly and make sure you have room for everything!! Overall an amazing tour with the best stops would do it again for sure, it was a few hours tops so plenty of time to checks out the city afterwards. ***The pictures added were near different spots at each food location
Helen was awesome, she had great stories for each stop and the pace was perfect for our group
Great tour of some of the food that has come out of Victoria. Be hungry because you get to try large portions of food and get places to get some drinks.
It was a fantastic tour. Our guide Erik is wonderful. Very knowledgeable, chill guy and very friendly. Telling us about the history of the places we went in Victoria and the food we ate. He brought us to all these interesting places. Aaaand the foods were amazing! You should definitely book this tour if you are visiting Victoria and be sure to request Erik because you will surely have a great time!
