Victoria Guided Food and History Tour

This was the perfect tour! We got to explore areas we didn’t even know were there, and had amazing food and learned so much about Victoria! Personal favorites of ours was the ube bun and matcha lemonade. I truly recommend everyone take this tour!

We enjoyed this tour immensely! Andy was an extremely knowledgeable guide and had a wonderful sense of humor. The food was great and we learned so much about Victoria!

Man, I can not say enough nice things about this tour. There was excellent food, great recommendations for a later date, historical facts, anecdotes, and information about architecture. He took us on a casual stroll through beautiful spaces while giving us information that might not have been put together otherwise. It is obvious when someone both loves what they do, and has the knowledge to give a great experience. Everyone should take this tour - for the food, the history, the beauty of the city, and the company. I would argue there isn't a better tour in viator in Victoria in ANY category.

Fantastic! We went to places in town and businesses that we would never have found out about - or dared go to. Andy is such a warm-hearted guide and clearly has huge respect and admiration for the business owners whose produce he showcases. As a local resident of Chinatown he is ideally placed to give genuine insights into what it is like to live in such a multicultural area. (Who knew the majority of residents of Victoria’s Chinatown are not of Chinese descent?!) This tour finished up feeling like a tour of world foods… as befits such a culturally diverse and inclusive city. Well worth trying to do the tour towards the start of your time in. Victoria, since Andy offers QR-code access to a website he has built up with local recommendations of places to eat and visit. Absolutely worthwhile👍

Fabulous! Wide range of food and drink - all delicious - great explanations and we usually met the owner of the establishment PLUS really interesting snippets of information on the history of Victoria. Highly recommended.

We liked Andy just as soon as we met him. He was upbeat. He introduced himself to the entire group in a very personable way. A longtime resident of Victoria himself, he knew not only every one of his vendor partners but the history of each area and the city. I can’t say enough about how good the food and/or drinks Andy introduced us to were. And it was a great mix of options. Honestly one of the best overall food tour experiences my wife and I have ever been associated with. I would highly recommend Andy and his company, A Taste Of Victoria, for a guaranteed good time for all.

Wonderful food tasting tour, Andy was great and shared lots of interesting Victoria history. Highly recommend!

Andy did a great job, took us to some unique places and has a great history with the owners of the places we went. We are going back to many of them. We’ve done a lot of these and this is one of the best ever. We would recommend Andy and his company to everyone.

What a fun tour — perfect combination of history and foods of Victoria. Very walkable tour and our guide, Andy, was excellent. He has been conducting these tours for over 10 years and is extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this tour!

Schedule this tour early during your stay in Victoria so you have time to go back to some of the places you visit. I appreciated the focus on locally sourced foods and locally owned restaurants that are making a positive difference in the community. The history shared about the city was interesting and relevant. We are very glad we participated in this activity and returned to 3 of the 6 restaurants we visited on the tour.
