Early on the day of the tour received a text with a starting location change. When we arrived at the tour start the guide informed us that the Art Walk and Craft Beer tour we signed up for was being change to a more historical walk and pub crawl. We were given the opportunity to cancel, that in hindsight we should have done. The changed tour was not worth the almost $200 we paid for the original tour. The tour offer should be updated to reflect what is actually being provided and the price adj st accordingly.

We had a fascinating tour with Jamie. He was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs. He willingly exceeded the three hours by a long way and included various tips and suggestions for us. Thank you Jamie, we have some great memories of Caldery.

By chance, I ended up getting a solo tour with Sarah. She was very knowledgeable about all the beers we sampled and humored me when I peppered her with questions about Canadian culture and history. The murals she showed me on the sides of buildings were quite interesting, but I would say this is first and foremost a brewery tour. I realize some of my experience was shaped by the fact that I was interacting with her one-on-one, but I would absolutely recommend the experience.

It seemed like we were given access to areas that most people would not see when visiting the brewery. It was surprising to see so many wall murals. Most locals are probably not aware of the locations. Our guide Sarah was also amazing :)

This fantastic tour got us off the beaten track and introduced us to both art and beers we wouldn't have found on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, art, and beer. It was a great experience overall.

Sarah was a fantastic tour guide. Super knowledgeable and passionate about both beer and her city. So many interesting tidbits and sprinkles of fun facts that made the whole tour fun and interesting. She made sure to tailor the trip to the tastebuds of the entire party and even found a sour beer that I did not hate!
Great way to spend time getting to know Victoria!

Great tour and great company. Sarah took us through the whole brewing process and answered so many questions we had. She listened to what we liked and geared the samples to that for us to try which was something you don’t get everywhere. Introduced us to some great new types that we will be looking out for back home in the East Coast. The murals and background of the paintings were really interesting and it was great to see the talent in the city. Definitely worth the time to do this tour!!

Sarah was a fantastic host! The art was eclectic and the neighbourhood (Rock Bay) was a hidden gem. Kelsey at VI Brewing was knowledgeable and the tour informative. Ike Sauvage was our favorite beer flight. Would definitely recommend for locals and out of towners.

Wow! What a great time! Sarah was so great - she insured everything was perfect. Her knowledge about the artist’s that painted the murals was wonderful. The brewery’s were so unique and their spirits were so tasty. Don’t worry if you’re not a beer drinker because Sarah and the brewery staff will offer tasty options sure to please. Loved every part of this tour.

I recently did the Craft Brewery and Street Art tour and it was such a great tour! Loved the brewery tour, learned a ton about different brewing styles and very cool to see the whole production of craft beer. Loved the three different breweries, all with their own unique style of beer! The tour guide Sarah definitely knew her stuff, she shared great info about the different beers plus had great story telling about the local art murals. It’s a fun, unique tour that highlights awesome breweries and gets you seeing art and areas of Victoria I had never explored before! HIGHLY recommend
