5.00Excellent tour. Well paced with interesting and great food and drink sampling. Highlights were the tortellini at Italian restaurant and French goat cheese on toast. Our guide Sean was knowledgeable, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. Definitely worth the time.

5.00Andrea was a joy. Very informative, and the food experiences surprised me. We had a variety of beverages and food that was unexpected. I enjoyed getting to know Gastown more and we were lucky that there were only three of us in the group so it was a very enjoyable and intimate experience.
Great Taste of Vancouver!

5.00Loved our tour, especially our guide Chirag. Everything was well-planned, thoughtful and showed the full range of cuisine available in Vancouver. We also had a gluten allergy with our party and they did a great job of making sure they had great options at every stop.
