Fantastic Food Tour with Chirug

Fantastic Food Tour with Chirug guide. We had a lot of fun and learned heaps about Gastown and its history. Food was all fresh and delicious - showed how multi-cultural the food scene in Canada is. Pace was slightly fast, some venues are just a drink stop for 5-10mins and then you need to get moving again. Making the tour 1hr longer with the same number of stops would make this tour PERFECT. Great afternoon regardless, friendly people and a wonderful guide.

Great Tour

If you have a Great Tour Guide, as we did, be prepared for it to take a little longer than advertised. She was full of information, and a joy to walk with. We even had someone on our tour that had been on the tour several years ago, and was (I felt like interupting her) and she handled it very well. Very well mannered, and did not make the individual fill like she was a burden.
