Don't do any other foodie tour!! - This was an exceptionally good foodie tour. It was extremely well organised and the guide (Pretty??) was superb. Her local knowledge and her knowledge of Asian food was just amazing. In addition she was pleasant and engaging.
The food was to die for!! Exquisite and such generous portions. It was really good value for money. We would absolutely recommend this tour. We have done good tours in many countries and locations. This was by far the best we have ever experienced.

Memorable food tour, loved it! - If you’re considering a food tour, look no further. Angela was the highlight of our trip. She was so enthusiastic about showing us some of the great food places in Vancouver. The food was delicious. The pace was perfect. Come hungry because there is a lot of food. I highly recommend this tour.

Gastronomic Delight - We were excited for our second food tour upon our return to Vancouver, and we weren't disappointed. Our host and guide, Manuela, was most excellent. Her enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge re Asian food, culture and Vancouver's Asian food scene was a beyond impressive. It felt like we arrived as strangers and departed as friends!
The tour itself was unlike any of the many big city food tours we've taken. Rather that squeezing in 7-9 short stops, our tour was designed to include only 5, creating a more leisurely and intimate experience. Tasting is not a fair description of our food experience, as beside our "tastings" of dumplings, Asian soft serve ice cream, we also shared both a full sum dim and Korean BBQ meal. We completed our tour with stop to enjoy a delicious desert fruit drink that was a perfect ending to a wonderful gastronomic excursion. WARNING: come with a big appetite and pace yourself ... you won't leave hungry!

Delicious way to get to know Vancouver - We had only one day in Vancouver, so the tour was a great way to jump in and learn, eat and have fun. Our tour guide, Preethi, was not only personable, organized and professional, but also knowledgeable about food and the city. We loved all the food we had and appreciated that it was curated for us to enjoy highlighting both bigger restaurants and more hidden gems.

An absolute requirement while visiting Vancouver - It was an excellent excellent experience. Aside from the wonderful food, Manuela and Bronson were convivial and warm tour guides. I have been on food tours all over the world. This by far is the best.

A Taste of Richmond's Asian Culinary Gems - We had a great time on the Foodie Tour with our knowledgeable guide, Angela. What stood out was how each element of the tour was carefully selected to give a diverse experience. The food items we sampled were of high quality, reflecting the rich culinary diversity of Richmond.
Angela's insights into the local food scene not only made the tour informative but also provided an opportunity to gain valuable insight into the vibrant community of Richmond. Plus, the friendly group of fellow food enthusiasts made the experience even more enjoyable.
If you're looking for a tour that offers exceptional food and a chance to learn about the local community, the Foodie Tour with Angela is an excellent choice.

The experience was worth it! - Our Tour Guide, Angela, did an amazing job of introducing us to the area we were in, the food we were eating and the significance of both of these. She was engaging and made it comfortable for us! We enjoyed the different types of food we ate, the pacing, and thoughtfulness of food choice from start to finish (starting with "heavier" or filling food, then smaller amounts or snack size type of food.) Overall, would recommend, even if you're a local! Always good to learn about new food spots!
