Why Our Tours?
"Because you are what you eat!"
After traveling to 52 countries seeking out good food and drink, A Taste of Victoria Food Tours owner Andy decided to begin a company that combined his love of tourism, history, and food. He came up with the idea of a guided walking food tour in his hometown and his favourite city, Victoria
Andy has a background in history and technology and has worked as a pedicab tour guide and historical interpreter, but most of all, he has always been a serious 'Foodie.' Join him on an exciting adventure that will satiate your palate with local products and pique your curiosity by bringing the eclectic history of this vibrant city to life.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

"Not only do you sample delicious food, but you get to see places in Victoria you may not even know existed! (This was definitely the case for us). Plus, you get a fantastic history lesson along the way. Andy, the tour guide and owner of a Taste of Victoria, is extremely knowledgeable. You can tell he has done his research, and his love for the city shines through. As well, it was awesome to see the mutual respect and admiration between Andy and all the shop owners we were introduced to." Kim - Vancouver Island View

"One of the stand out features of this tour is your guide and owner of A Taste Of Victoria Food Tours … Andy. In all the walking tours my wife and I have enjoyed over the years, none has been more informative and historically interesting than with Andy. With a vibrant personality and extensive knowledge of the local history, accompanied with the excellent venues visited along the way, made for a wonderful walking food tour in the city!"- Robert Tellier, Gr8 Travel Tips

"Our tour guide, Andy, walked us through Chinatown, Old Town, and the Inner Harbour. We loved this experience. It was nice to walk around the city while learning about the history, and best of all, we were stopping for food and drinks along the way! Our tour guide Andy was super friendly, and we met another couple who walked around taste testing and exploring with us. We tried meatballs, olive oils, perogies, craft beer, bread, tea, and chocolate!" - Eating and Drinking with my Hubby in Canada's Most Romantic City, by Jamie Dunlop Khau, Styling the Inside
