Didn’t rent a car but looking to hit all the hotspots in Comox Valley while you’re visiting? Island Gourmet Trails has you covered! Tell Mary and Francois what type of sights and tours you like to see and do and they’ll customize your day for you. Mary has a new, clean and comfortable Toyota Highlander that she’ll pick you up in at the front door of your accommodations. She even comes prepared with umbrellas for rainy season, water bottles to keep you hydrated and a cooler to keep any perishable purchases fresh (think cheeses, veggies and cured meats for a charcuterie board to snack on back at the hotel). From there she’ll take you to curated venues and tell you a bit about each place and local landmarks along the way (but not so much that you can’t enjoy your own personal conversations). We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and particularly our delicious lunch at Locals Restaurant. Value for money is off the charts, don’t hesitate to book for your next trip to the island!

We had an absolute blast! My sisters and I, totalling four of us, did a tour in July 2024. Mary did an excellent job communicating, setting Up our tour and making the experience lasting memory. I loved how she catered the tour to the birthday girls needs, it was a day to remember. Every moment was thoughtfully Put together. I love that we were able to be picked up at our front door and dropped off at the end of the day, we didn’t have to concern ourselves about timing or parking as Mary was very organized and guided us on our tour well. She was very knowledgable and easy to connect with. She let us have our own time and really made the experience enjoyable. I would highly recommend if you were in the Comox/Courtney area to enjoy a tour this way. You won’t regret it!

Could not have asked for a better tour guide! We had 4 sisters celebrating a 40th birthday. 2 non-drinkers but the birthday girl requested a wine tour. She also loves animals. Mary tailored a special day for us that tailored all our needs and loves. From wine samples to animal snuggles. The food by the Mustard Lady was incredible and it was such a great day!

We booked a day with Island Gourmet Trails while we were on a girls trip staying at the KingFisher Resort. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip. The tour was personalized and took us to the Farmers Market, for local coffee/art shop, to a beautiful restaurant, for a chocolate tasting, distillery and wine! It was one of the best tours I've been on. Thank-you Island Gourmet - what a pleasure.

Amazing custom experience! Delicious places and wonderfully beautiful locations. This a great way to explore the local area as someone who is new or just passing through! The tour director was very considerate and is so good at communicating! I cannot recommend this tour enough (in fact I may come back for a round 2!)
