The open faced sandwich was good , however, at a food court in the mall? Wine tasting was barely enough wine to taste. Chocolate and macaroon stores were good. Cheese tasting was very small. Korean corn dog was at a corner store, and Mexican food was a taco at a real small restaurant. I was expecting more in the restaurant setting than fast food, especially for the price.

Nice tour. Guide was interesting. Thought it was strange that 1st food was in a mall food court, tho the sandwich was very good. No story to go with it. Food was plenty. We asked for vegetarian. Went to place that served something like a fried corny dog. Nice that they offered fried & battered cheese, but was fried in same oil as the meat, so we didn’t eat it. Enjoyed the wine & cheese tasting. Portions small here, but delicious.

The wine shop that specializes in BC wines which I knew nothing about, was very interesting and educational and the wine was good. Also Ate, the Filipino restaurant, was an interesting and delicious stop. The cheese shop, L’Apero, was also good and the owner gave us a short but informative explanation of the cheeses. Amazing chocolate shop too, learned about drinking chocolate (as opposed to hot chocolate) and delicious samples. At least three of us from our tour went back later. Our guide, Ben, kept everyone engaged and on pace to enjoy the whole tour. He’s a local who seems to really know the restrauranteurs and enjoy what he does.

It was nice to hear little tidbits about the history of the town. My favorite place was Chocolate & Co. We had a truffle and a drinking chocolate that was like a milkshake, but without sugar! It was delicious!

Good tour with wide variety of foods. Our tour guide was good and helpful explaining historical Victoria as well as food stops. This company gets a lot of guests from the cruise ships in for the day so be prepared for those days.
