The best of Gastown’s culture and flavors - My husband and I have taken many food tours’ from NYC to Budapest. We now make sure this is our first adventure booked as it gives us a true feel for the culture of the city. Our guide, Nolan was outstanding ! He was born and raised in Vancouver’ therefore very knowledgeable about the history of Gastown. The owner of the company has selected a wonderful variety of foods giving a true taste of culture and flavor. Come hungry, the portions in all locations were large! My favorite was the cocktail and pierogi at Kosak.

Delicious and fun tastings in Gastown - This was the first time we have been on a foodie tour anywhere and we really enjoyed it. The tour was included by our travel agent and it was a great suggestion. We met our guide (Bronson) and three other couples and set off promptly. We visited three different restaurants and sampled dishes and drinks. Everything tasted good and the Mexican was our favourite. Bronson made the experience interesting and funny with lots of local stories. It was a pleasure to be on a tour led by a young Canadian as up until then we had mainly met British and Aussie hosts during our tours.

Start hungry! Leave full of great food and knowledge - We thoroughly enjoyed this food tour! We've done several, all around the world, and this was a really generous one in terms of food and drinks. Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent! We learned so much about Gastown and the history of Vancouver. He was able to keep our large group in sync, and we could always hear him well. Had a great time!

Beautiful day in Vancouver - It was a beautiful day in Vancouver Brandon was a good guide. The food was not what was listed in the discription but it was very good. I have went on many food tours. My only complaint is it takes to long. For the 3 hours they need one more food stops. Even if it's one where there bring out a tray with samples There is too much time waiting. Over all a good day
