Gastown Walking Food Tour

Our tour guide Andrea is awesome. Very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable not just about the area we toured (Gastown) but also about the city of Vancouver. She made the experience most enjoyable. The restaurants we visited served very delicious meals. We even went back to one of the restaurants we toured for dinner one night. Highly recommend this walking tour.

Wonderful experience!

Our guide, Connor was friendly and very knowledgeable. The chosen sites for the food tour were all so good, there wasn’t anything I didn’t like. I liked that Connor talked about the history of the restaurants and food and that there was a variety. I would definitely recommend this tour for someone who will be staying a few days after the tour so they could return to the restaurants for a full meal.

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!
