Vancouver Food Tour - We enjoyed a wonderful food tour exploration of Vancouver with Brian in early December. He was a fun and entertaining guide! His expertise and experience led us to great food and drink choices. We toured places on our visit to Vancouver that we would not have seen without his guidance. We highly recommend his services as a food and drink maven.

Great Food, Excellent Guide, Fantastic Tour – Highly Recommended - My wife and I visited Vancouver to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and we’re so glad we booked this tour! From the moment we reserved our spot, communication was seamless. Brian was incredibly helpful, even recommending some fantastic restaurants for us to try before our tour. On the day of the tour, it was just the two of us, which made it feel like a more personalized experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the snacks and drinks were a perfect touch. The views were stunning, and the entire experience felt incredibly well-organized from start to finish. It's no surprise that this tour has such glowing reviews — we can’t recommend it enough!

The hits kept coming - Absolutely delightful time! Our guide was so knowledgeable of the area and showed us some real gems. There's no way we would have found the places we visite, but now we have places to go back to! A great way to spend the afternoon!

Book this one! - Book this tour! If you want to experience Vancouver like a local, this is the tour to book. Brian was AMAZING. Communication before the tour was spot on and very helpful. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! The food stops were all delicious, and the information he shared about the area was great. The tour starts with the most wonderful views and the tastiest cookie! We did not get to see the garden, but Brian made up for that with an extra special treat at Annabell's! The other stops were also fantastic. The smash burger was so good, and don't sleep on the fries! The pop up bar had a fun vibe & the ice cream shop was excellent! Our group of 4 enjoyed the casual nature of the tour and loved the conversations we shared with Brian during our tour. He gave us great tips on other things to do/see during our visit and made sure we knew how to get back to the train after our tour concluded. 10/10 would book this tour again.

Great Food, Amazing Food, Tremendous Value - I took the tour as a culinary introduction to Vancouver on my first day arriving to the city. Brian is so knowledgeable and a caring person. The tour was only him and I which made it seem private which I enjoyed and he tailored to my likes. Even though I don’t like heights I enjoyed the view from the high rise building and learning about the history of the city. I also enjoyed going to the Chinese garden, a zen place in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city. Now onto the food… each stop was amazing. First stop, coffee and a specialty cookie. Which I still think about. Next stop, a smash burger and fries that are to die for. Finally, ice cream that I will gladly travel to. Overall, the tour is great and it’s a must do whenever in Vancouver. Thank you for a great time Brian!!!

Fantastic Tour! Highly Recommend! - Brian was warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about Vancouver and the favorites of the locals. He took us to see a beautiful view of the city and we enjoyed a delicious specialty cookie, a smash burger that was to die for, and delicious ice cream (we don’t drink, so we didn’t partake of any alcohol that would have otherwise been part of the experience). Brian tailored our tour for us, even noticing that I kept adoring all the dogs we passed by and deciding to take us to a nearby dog park to enjoy watching the pups play. It was just such a great experience that I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

The best of Vancouver, for locals and visitors alike! - First time to Vancouver and traveling solo. Took a chance on this tour and was so happy I did! Brian took us away from the crowds and introduced us to some of the best coffee I'd ever had, unique bakery items such as popcorn marshmallow chocolate chip cookies, blackberry ice cream, and local brews along the way. He gave some local restaurant recommendations, and they were awesome! Along the tour, got to go to a rooftop to experience panoramic views of downtown and the harbor, and stroll along the water. The tour was a small group, and he was able to customize it to the interests of the group. Super easy walk with plenty of stops to soak up the local vibes and get some cool info on the city and its history. This tour would be fantastic for locals and visitors alike! Definitely recommend!

GREAT TOUR, EXCELLENT FOOD & AWESOME TOUR GUIDE! - This was such a fun, interactive and delicious way to see a (surprisingly) large part of Downtown Vancouver! I made a very last minute booking with Brian (2 hrs. before start time) and he was so kind to accommodate me as his only tour guest. Not only did we see parts of the city I would have NEVER have had access to on my own, but we had such great conversation and some of the tastiest local food & drinks I've tasted in any of the cities I've visited. We started with a fantastic cookie from his favorite coffee shop, then on to the rooftop of a local high-rise to get unparalleled views of the city and its history. Then we were off to a food truck turned brick & mortar smash burger spot (cheeseburger, fries and a beer), then a walk across Gastown to a pop-up bar for a local craft cider, and finally a water bus ride over to Olympic Village where I had the best cookies & creme ice cream OF MY LIFE! The tour had great structure but also elements of "choose your own adventure." Brian kindly made so many great recommendations for future food and drink spots, then got me settled on a city e-bike and navigated me to a local spot for a pint and phenomenal sunset viewing. KILLER DAY, with a GREAT city bike ride to top it off- would do this tour (or any of his others) again in a heartbeat!
