Fun and Tasty Tour

Our guide Sean was great! He was pleasant, funny and presented some great Gastown/Vancouver historical facts. There were 16 people in our group, which is larger than what I would prefer. Not the same ambiance as a smaller group. We had seven stops for food and drink. Everything was delicious.

Food and history combined

Dan was our tour guide and did an amazing job! We visited more food stops than I thought we would. I was full by the end of it. It includes quite a few drinks too which was nice. All of the food was good. We were seated and served quickly. Dan gave lots of good information along the way. He was very knowledgeable and engaging with the whole group. We finished right on time, with double dessert!
