Al hosted my bachelor party crew for a great afternoon of beer and food tasting! The food was fantastic and the beer was just as good. What was best was the organization, toasts, and dad jokes go alongside it all. We appreciate the awesome experience Al provided us with that day! Thanks! And I highly recommend A Taste of Victoria Food Tours to any locals, islanders or folks coming to Victoria for a visit. Great time!

Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Victoria! Andy was an excellent host and you could really tell he cares about his city and the business owners behind the stops on the tour. The food was awesome and the history lesson while we walked from spot to spot was also very much appreciated and interesting. I have been on a handful of food tours in different cities and they never disappoint - and this was no different. Tasty mix of dishes and excellent value for the price. Would definitely reccomend to a friend!

I recently took the new Vistas and Views Tour and it was fantastic! It was a rainy February day but it didn't matter, because the views were still awe-inspiring and the food was outstanding.

Our guide Holly was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, answering some tough questions while also providing some memorable stories. At each restaurant, the staff welcomed us warmly and the food was really good.

At the first stop, the outstanding food was equally matched by a waterfront view of the inner harbour including Victoria's famous Parliament Buildings and Empress Hotel. Most people see brussel sprouts on a menu and keep moving on, but I was really happy with my savoury choice, as they were absolutely delicious, pairing nicely with a refreshing lager.

Next, after a brisk and scenic walk across the intriguing "Blue Bridge", we settled into the architecturally-beautiful confines of a historic bank building-turned-restaurant to enjoy a tasty pint and one of the best bowls of pasta I've had in recent memory. The pesto prawn linguini was amazing! We sat in a cozy room that looked like an old study and it had a patio with a unique vista perspective as well.

The final stop on the tour featured a delicious chocolate rum tart and an unmatched birds-eye view of downtown Victoria. From up there, we could see almost anywhere in the city and on a clearer day, across to the Olympic mountains of Washington State. We even spotted where we had started the tour across the harbour, which was a nice full-circle way to end this great little adventure.

I highly recommend taking this tour. The food, drinks, and views were all very enjoyable!

I HIGLY RECOMMEND this food tour. Andy is an incredible food tour guide (also the owner!) and knows so much about food, the city of Victoria and partners with many food vendors throughout the city. He is genuinely kind, entertaining, and we really enjoyed his company! We took our 3 kids on this tour (who are picky eaters) and they tried everything and really enjoyed it! We would definitely come back and try another tour next time in Victoria! Thanks Andy!

Our recent experience with A Taste of Victoria Food Tours was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Andy. From start to finish, Andy's passion for Victoria's culinary scene shone through, making the tour not just a tasting, but a truly immersive experience.

Andy was incredibly knowledgeable, offering fascinating insights into the history of the city and the stories behind each culinary stop. It was clear he put a great deal of thought and care into selecting the restaurants and food samples. The variety was impressive, seamlessly transitioning from savory to sweet, and everything in between was utterly delicious. Each bite felt like a curated experience, highlighting the best of what Victoria's vibrant food scene has to offer.

If you're looking for a fun, informative, and incredibly tasty way to explore Victoria, I highly recommend booking a tour with A Taste of Victoria Food Tours!

This was a fantastic afternoon experience! The walking portion of the tour was very manageable, and I appreciated the pace—plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. I especially loved the charming alleys and the historical stories shared along the way, which added real depth to the sights.

Each stop featured a unique bite that reflected the diversity of Victoria’s culinary scene. I was pleasantly surprised by the Hawaiian food—it was absolutely outstanding and not something I expected. All the tastings combined made for a filling and satisfying lunch.

This is a great way to get to know the city and enjoy a mix of culture, history, and flavor. Highly recommend! Andy is fantastic!

This tour is popular for a reason and should be the first thing you book once you decide to visit Victoria. We'll definitely be repeat customers.
Even on a rainy day, A Taste of Victoria Food Tours was a great experience and a great value. Andrew, who grew up in Victoria, shared both local history and great food from small businesses he's partnered with. Each stop felt like a true taste of the city.
