Informative. Guide knew his history and very friendly. The food was amazing drinks are small but perfect size because of how many stops we had. The restaurants knew in advance we were coming so no waiting at all for food or drinks.

Michael was a fabulous tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and easy to follow. The bites were tasty, and we returned to one of the restaurants later for a full meal.

Kathy_R, Jun 2026
Such a delightful time! Learned a bit about the area history and enjoyed tasty bites of food along the way. Had a very engaging tour guide named Fish. He definitely made the tour enjoyable.
John_W, Jun 2026
Our guide, Julie, was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and shared a lot of interesting stories. The walking was pretty easy and the total distance walked was moderate. The food and drink samples at the Drake and Bard and Banker were excellent. We just wish we had more time at those locations to enjoy them as things were a bit rushed. Even the stop at the candy store was too quick. Overall. a good tour experience in Victoria!
Paul_C, Jun 2026
Interesting historical and cultural walking (and ferry!) tour of Victoria. Our guide, Emile, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very good company. Thoroughly recommend carving out the 2 1/2hrs to do this tour!
CINDY_A, May 2026
Great food. Great history about Victoria. Great tour guide. Would recommend for a walking and food tour.
Rob_K, May 2026
Great tour. The places we stopped for bites were great! Our guide was knowledgeable and told great stories.
Joan_D, May 2026
Julie was a very informed guide- she was chock full of information wherever we went. Particularly enjoyed the water taxi ride to Chinatown. Wonderful stop at The Drake where we had several delicious sips & new tastes!
Angela_S, May 2026
I just want to give it 5 stars. Why won’t you let me simply rate it? Why must I write something. You’re eliminating so many ratings by this requirement.
Garnette_S, May 2026
Gary was a great guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This was a great tour to get a taste of the culture and local food and drink. Highly recommend.
Paul_J, May 2026
Dave has a unique insight to the Victoria area and has lived and breathed Chinatown where the tour focuses on during the first half. He rang ahead to the eateries and Bars so we never had to wait for a table. He gave his own perspective and recommendations which had we had more time would have given us the inside track.
Can highly recommend the tasters we sampled, especially the Shrimp…and the focaccia…and the Cider…everything was amazing.
To round things off we ended up in Chocoholic heaven…with another taster to end the tour.
Michael_H, May 2026
Wow. This was likely the best tour we have ever had. The tour guide was extremely informative and also courteous and funny as well. A very well paced tour that involved stopping for a bit to eat that was enough.
Joe_W, May 2026
It was an informative trip and we enjoyed the time spent. Although it lists “bites” in the tour name, this is not a food tour. Just 2 tastings but good food. Felt a little rushed at food stops.
Beth_D, Apr 2026
This was my husband’s my 2nd time doing this tour. We thought the first one was soo good we dragged along 2 other couples… this one was even better than the first, which we gave 5 stars too, so this would be a 6 star rating! Ha! The tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about everything Victoria, and made sure all of the group’s individual needs/requests were met. He went above and beyond!! Well worth doing this tour more than once, as you hear different info and experience perhaps different bite stops as well!!
Kevin_S, Nov 2025
Easy walking. Pleasant harbour taxi ride. 2 stops for snacks and local drinks. The guide was knowledgeable and very friendly

Book this tour - you will be glad you did. We had a wonderful tour guide - Fish. He went above and beyond, so knowledgeful, kind, funny and interesting. We thought the tour was also great value for money. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Victoria. Do it on your first day (unlike us!) and you will get lots of useful tips for other great things to do in Victoria.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
It’s good to hear the tour felt like money well spent. Fish definitely puts a lot of energy into making the history interesting and funny, so I'll let him know you appreciated the effort.

Fish definitely knows how to make a group feel welcome. It’s a solid way to spend an afternoon, and I’m happy the water taxi was a fun new experience for you!

Roberto was a great tour guide! Very engaging and dynamic in his delivery of history facts and local culture. He was very thoughtful to capture some great photos of us. We had some delicious bites and also walked away with recommendations on what to do after.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Roberto is a natural behind the camera, so it’s great he caught some good shots for you. It sounds like his energy and those extra local tips really rounded out the afternoon.
