A Worthwhile Experience

Leresse_P, Jan 2026

A lovely morning/afternoon exploring some of Vancouver’s yummiest Asian cuisine and history. Connor was an amazing guide, with so much knowledge to share.

A must!

Stephanie_W, Sep 2025

Preethi was amazing. So knowledgeable and helpful! I would recommend this to anyone. If you’re thinking about it do it, Do It. And do it at the beginning of your trip.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Stephanie, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your tour with Preethi — she’ll be so pleased to know her knowledge and helpfulness made such a difference.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope we can welcome you back for another foodie adventure in the future! Warmly, The Vancouver Foodie Tours Team

Memorable food tour, loved it!

Joanne_N, Sep 2024

If you’re considering a food tour, look no further. Angela was the highlight of our trip. She was so enthusiastic about showing us some of the great food places in Vancouver. The food was delicious. The pace was perfect. Come hungry because there is a lot of food. I highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you so much for joining us! We have forwarded your kind words to Angela and we hope to see you in Vancouver again!

Gastronomic Delight

Paul_B, Aug 2024

We were excited for our second food tour upon our return to Vancouver, and we weren't disappointed. Our host and guide, Manuela, was most excellent. Her enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge re Asian food, culture and Vancouver's Asian food scene was a beyond impressive. It felt like we arrived as strangers and departed as friends! The tour itself was unlike any of the many big city food tours we've taken. Rather that squeezing in 7-9 short stops, our tour was designed to include only 5, creating a more leisurely and intimate experience. Tasting is not a fair description of our food experience, as beside our "tastings" of dumplings, Asian soft serve ice cream, we also shared both a full sum dim and Korean BBQ meal. We completed our tour with stop to enjoy a delicious desert fruit drink that was a perfect ending to a wonderful gastronomic excursion. WARNING: come with a big appetite and pace yourself ... you won't leave hungry!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hi Paul, Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your second food tour with Manuela exceeded your expectations. It’s great to know her passion for Asian cuisine and Vancouver’s food scene made such an impact. We love that you enjoyed the more relaxed pace of the tour and the delicious variety of dishes, especially the Korean BBQ and dessert fruit drink! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Vancouver or on one of our other tours! Best, Vancouver Foodie Tours Team x

Delicious way to get to know Vancouver

Sinda_M, Jul 2024

We had only one day in Vancouver, so the tour was a great way to jump in and learn, eat and have fun. Our tour guide, Preethi, was not only personable, organized and professional, but also knowledgeable about food and the city. We loved all the food we had and appreciated that it was curated for us to enjoy highlighting both bigger restaurants and more hidden gems.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you Sinda! We have passed these kind words along on to Preethi and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour. We hope to see you in Vancouver again!

An absolute requirement while visiting Vancouver

Tennis_S, May 2024

It was an excellent excellent experience. Aside from the wonderful food, Manuela and Bronson were convivial and warm tour guides. I have been on food tours all over the world. This by far is the best.

AMAZING Asian Food Tour

Angia_H, Jul 2023

A wonderful way to spend a day with our multigenerational family reunion. If not for this tour, we would not have ventured to Richmond. Lydia and Michelle were amazing guides with a lot of knowledge about the area and the amazing foods we tried. They also gave us recommendations for other places to eat and places to go visit. This would definitely be an area we would visit again when we are in Vancouver again.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you again! We love a Family reunion and are so delighted that Michelle and Lydia were your guides. Kindest regards!

Great food and learned a lot about Asian communities in Vancouver

Robin_P, Feb 2023

Angela was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. I had no idea that the Richmond community existed and it was wonderful to see and support all of the local businesses and restaurants. Great food and a good way to spend an afternoon learning about the Asian communities in Vancouver.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hello Robin! We're so glad that you enjoyed our Authentic Asian Eats Tour. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We hope to see you again, with more tours coming this summer!

Pleasant tour of Richmond food

Luyen_P, Nov 2022

This tour was a nice introduction to the food and culture of Richmond. Without this tour I probably would not have gone to Richmond. It was well paced and we had a nice variety of food. Our guide was very friendly.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Luyen! Thank you so much for your kind review. We hope this is the first of many Richmond food adventures.

Great tour with wonderful food

Delaney_S, Aug 2022

We had a great time! the tween, teen, Gen X and boomer on our multigenerational trip all enjoyed it. Daray was a wonderful tour guide. Learned lots and the food was amazing. Recommend this tour highly!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi Delane! Thank you so much for your support. Bringing people together with food is one of our missions and we're so happy that you were able to join us. We also offer our Granville Island Market Tour and will be re-launching a Gastronomic Gastown Tour in the spring of 2023! We hope to see you again.

Best food tour ever

Rena_L, Jul 2022

THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE!!! This tour was one of the major highlights of our time in Vancouver/Richmond. Anjela and Michelle were absolutely lovely and amazing as they shepherded us through fantastic stop after stop. They were patient with questions and quick to provide background information to enhance our tour. Highly recommend.
