Tour requires quite a bit...

Published on Feb, 2025

Tour requires quite a bit of walking so good mobility and good walking shoes required. Dress for the weather. Great experience and would recommend the tour.

Would absolutely repeat!!

Published on Feb, 2025

Andy was amazing; friendly and knowledgeable with lots of great stories to share about Victoria's downtown both from a historical point of view and from the point of view of the vendors whom we visited. His relationship with the vendors is obviously very positive. Highly recommend!!!

Victoria Food Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Andy's suppliers provided a wide range of multi-cultural menu items that we never would have sampled outside of this tour. His knowledge of the history of Vancouver was extensive. His energy, passion and enthusiasm was amazing!

A wonderful experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Andy was a wonderfully personable and informative food guide. We will be recommending his services to all our friends and family members. We will definitely look him up to try one of his other tours next time we are in town.

Great places to eat in...
