“My wife and I are locals who have enjoyed wine tours in New Zealand and Australia, so we thought we'd check out the local fare. Tyco, our tour guide was full of interesting tidbits of Victoria and her surroundings. We were pleasantly surprised that we were the only people going on this particular tour.

Review of Victoria’s Vistas and Views food tour, with three gourmet courses, harbor and mountain views, practical tips, price, and honest drawbacks.
“An interesting guide, with relevant information and lots of interpersonal skills. We liked the terrace of the first restaurant and the starters were delicious. The walk to the second place was pleasant if a little too fast. The history of the second restaurant, as well as its decor were very interesting.
