From our Guests

“Meals make the society. The perfect meal or the best meals occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.” – Anthony Bourdain

“Downtown Food & City Tour was Amazing! go on a lot of food tours. This one was incredible. I experienced new and inventive dishes from all over the world. I guide was funny and knew so much that was not typical. I appreciate the "little extras" she threw in. She also was funny! I highly endorse this tour in Victoria.”

Lee S

“Excellent experience. My family and I took the tour in Victoria at the beginning of the fall season. It was very interesting and fun to visit the city and try unique and local food. I recommend taking this tour if it's your first time in Victoria. Lots of good food and information in 2-hour tour.”

Cicat

“Getting to Know Victoria. I would strongly encourage those residing in Victoria plus those visiting Victoria to take this tour. It was a great way to learn about this city and its history...through food. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about each business we visited.”

JJ W Ruth

“Great Combo of Historical and Culinary Information. We left with a list of places we wanted to go back to for full meals--more than we could possibly cover in our four-day visit--and Brenda offered suggestions for many other places that sounded enticing.”
