We really enjoyed our Gastown walking food tour. Our guide Andrea was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. We learned about the area while enjoying food and drinks. Portion sizes were perfect so you weren’t too full. Having alcoholic and non-alcoholic options was nice for all the guests. The variety of food choices was also really good.

Perfect ride on a perfect day

Such a great way to see the city if you’re low on time. We had only one day/night in Vancouver and this was the perfect way to relax with a fun bike ride whilst taking in the gorgeous city. Daniel was our guide for our group of 4 and he was excellent! Easy-going but kept us on track, always looking out to make sure everyone was safe. He was fun and kind, and had a great accent. Highly recommend the tour and highly recommend Daniel!
