Great tour! Erik, our guide, took us to a fascinating variety of chocolate shops and bakeries while delivering lots of fun Victoria info. This tour would be an excellent thing to do with out of town guests!

Description
We go to the names that matter. Chocolate & Co., The Chocolate Project and Rogers' Chocolates are the three chocolate shops Victorians actually send visitors to, and Crust Bakery and The Dutch Bakery are the two bakeries locals queue at themselves. Most tours pick one or two of these. We do all five. Then there are the things you won't see coming: a savory chocolate sample that will change how you think about the ingredient, a thick and decadent drinking chocolate, and our own famous Nanaimo bar sampled inside one of the oldest brick buildings in Victoria. Every stop is an independently owned local business, and we've been walking these blocks longer than any other food tour company in Victoria. That's why the makers know us by name, and why you'll hear the stories that never made it onto the heritage plaques.

Perfect tastes
I called to book the trip when my wife and I were going to be in town, and I was informed they don't do this tour during the summer. I said "bummer!" and the owner immediately said "let me see what I can do" and I was booked after she contacted the person doing the tour to see if he would do it. It worked out so well, 2 other couples were able to book and 6 was the perfect number. Our tour guide was fun, funny, and very knowledgeable. The tastings were phenomenal and portions were extra! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Operator response
Thank you! That tour normally takes the summer off, so we are glad we could make it work, and even more glad it filled out to six, which really is the perfect number for it. Thank you for such a lovely review of the whole experience.

Chocolate lovers assemble!
Erik was a fantastic tour guide who showed us around the best spots! He added so much local information about cool landmarks and tidbits about the businesses. The drinking chocolate and the molé tacos were a highlight!
Operator response
Chocolate lovers, we hear you — and the drinking chocolate and molé tacos are absolutely highlight-worthy! Erik loves sharing the local stories behind every stop, and we're so glad those tidbits added to the experience. Hope to see you back for more!

Fun, delicious and informative afternoon tour!
We had such a great time with Brenda today! I went with a friend and we both found Brenda to be fun and so knowledgeable. We are locals but still learned so much! All of the places we hit were fantastic. I was gifted this by a friend-what a thoughtful and wonderful gift for visitors or locals! I would highly recommend this tour.

So fun and SO much chocolate!!
This tour was so fun! It was intimate which allowed to hear everything and not feel rushed or like you were standing around. Our tour guide answered ALL our questions and was very knowledgeable about each stop and Victoria in general. Tour guide picked out a few of our tasting items while we got to pick at some stops as well. 7 stops in total and all we're fantastic! Would reccommend to someone visiting as something fun to do or someone local even- wonderful first date idea! So much to spark conversation and learn in the process.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the intimate, unrushed pace of the tour. It's exactly the experience we aim to create so guests can truly soak it all in. It’s great to hear your guide helped bring each stop and Victoria’s story to life. We couldn’t agree more, it really is a fantastic first date idea… and honestly, it might be even better for a second date 😉 Hope to see you again soon!

Tour guide Eric was...
Tour guide Eric was friendly and knowledgeable. We got to sample some very yummy treats and tacos! It’s a great way to learn of some great places for food and treats in Victoria. Plus we learned some fun facts and history. We will definitely sign up for another walking tour next time we visit.

Great and informative tour!
Great walking tour of Victoria with delectable chocolate treats, what more could you ask for? Also learned a few things about my favourite sweet.

Delicious and Fun!
100% worth the money to do this tour! Not only was the food amazing, but our guide (Ben) was nothing short of fabulous, taking the time to get to know each person on the tour and making certain each guest was taken care with met needs. This easy walking tour gives your a glimpse of Victoria while taking a long look at chocolate. David at The Chocolate Project was interesting and passionate about his love for chocolate. The drinking chocolate and truffle at Chocolat & Co. were incredible. The mole taco at La Taquisa was my first of the kind and I'll likely never have another one so good. The OSO donut was a chocolate caramel - delish. By the end of the tour we were having to box our macarons (Bon Macaron - you pick 2!) and were thrilled Roger's provided them pre-bagged (amazing, by the way). The Nanaimo bar at the end was my favorite! Go hungry and take a reusable shopping bag (the only way to visit Victoria).
