Locals, you’ll love this!

Published on Dec, 2024

A fantastic was to learn and eat your way through the city, as a local, I really enjoyed it! Highly recommend this locally owned and operated business.

Fun and Delicious Activity

Published on Dec, 2024

This was the perfect activity for us as we had just gotten off the ferry and dropped off our bags at the hotel across the street. One must be hungry as there are quite a few food stops. From Korean hot dogs to pork belly bowls to desserts it was quite fun. Ben was a great guide and kept our tour fun and informative. Met some great people too. All in all great activity and highly recommend when visiting Victoria!

Rain or Shine: Do it!
