It was a fun experience learning some history of Victoria, our stops were great with delicious bites and drinks. Our guide was fun and did a fantastic job.

Our guide, Fish, walked us through China Town and main shopping area of Victoria. We took a water taxi across the harbor, too. Lots of historic information and wonderful food samples. We had a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend.
Rob_C, Aug 2026
We were educated and entertained throughout our tour. Our guide Fish was fantastic… knowledgeable, funny and passionate about his city and her history. The tour also included several refreshment and bites stops at great, unique local establishments. We travel to Victoria often and were left wishing we had experienced this tour previously. Highly recommended for any Victoria visitors (or even locals who would appreciate a fun reintroduction to the city’s history, sights and flavours).

This was a fun tour of Victoria. Our tour guide, Michael, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend.
Joy_S, Aug 2026
Very interesting and fun tour. Great “bites” and drinks at places we wouldn’t have found on our own.
Gudrun_K, Aug 2026
Great tour guide with an extensive knowledge of the city's and province's history, ready to answer any questions. We enjoyed every stop with the unique tastings. This included 2 local delicious drinks. The snacks were tasty, especially the shrimp. Of course, the chocolate treat at the end was the icing on the cake! Fantastic value for the price we paid. Just a tip for additional things to do: The Ancient Egypt at the Museum just a few steps away was also worth the trip.
Edward_B, Aug 2026
The tour was okay, it was not a lot of commentary during the walking portion only at certain locations. The stops at the eats and drinks were good. Over all if you have nothing to do, go try it out.
Julie_D, Aug 2026
Bronwyn was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We learned about the city, history and had some delicious bites

Emile sets the bar high for tour guides! Thoroughly enjoyed his whimsical and historical walking tour, complete with performance of Robert Service poetry. The restaurants we visited were popular spots with tasty dishes to share. Beware of seagulls!

This was a fun tour with a delightful guide named Fish. He showed us around and entertained us with a mix of history and modern day stories. Delicious food bites and sips too. Definitely recommend!
MICHELLE_Z, Jul 2026
Tour was a good introduction to Victoria if you are here multiple days it would be worth it. Down side was 45 min wait for water taxi! Dave was great.
Carol_B, Jul 2026
If you want an in-depth history of Victoria experience, Julie is the best guide! Even better, she chose interesting places for our "bites", deliciously made with local ingredients. I would have enjoyed more time for bites and a little less time on history.
Sandra_G, Jul 2026

This tour is wonderful, informative, AND delicious! We especially enjoyed Garrett and his enthusiasm for his home city and its history.
Douglas_M, Jul 2026
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.
Silvana_J, Jul 2026
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!
