Do it! Great way to discover local restaurants and learn some history at the same time.

Our group of 4 really enjoyed our food tour. Brenda was very knowledge and took us to some wonderful “off the beaten track” spots that we likely would not have discovered. We ate a lot of food, savory and sweet and all delicious! Plus she recommended some other restaurants and happy hours that we checked out and enjoyed.

Visiting the different places was great but Brenda would ignore me if I said something to her. Like what she said was so important and if I made a comment. It was ignored. Felt disrespectful. And I let her know how I felt.
There were 3 young ppl in the group as well, I think there was not good group cohesiveness.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Hello,
This is extremely unusual feedback for Brenda. She has been working with us as a certified tour guide for over 3 years and she has never had a personal bad review. I am so sorry you didn't feel like a part of the group and ignored. Brenda and I will be getting together today to discuss what happened and see if there is some room for improvement on our end. We are glad you still enjoyed the tour and food stops included.
Sincerely,
Bonnie
Fun, relaxing town & good experience

This little tour is jam packed with great food, drink and inside information and we were very pleased we gave it go. Our knowledgeable and attentive guide, Brenda, has a terrific rapport with all the shopowners and restauranteurs along the way and we were treated with one delicious surprise after another. if you visit Victoria, be sure to take this tour early in your stay so you have time to go back and sample the wares again! We thoroughly enjoyed it!
We loved this walking tour, enjoyed...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
