    A Walking Taste of Vancouver

    Nadine_K, Aug 2025
    It was a very rainy day with many people deciding to stay in as our guide, Brian Feldbloom, a very knowledgeable individual about the Vancouver area stated that we would get a private tour. Brian provided a taste of the city at places that were local knowledge. We started at Timbertrain Coffee Roasters in Gastown. It’s a small shop with very friendly staff, great coffee and excellent chocolate chip cookies. We were provided a chocolate chip, popcorn and marshmallow. An interesting take that was very good. As we were out and about walking, we went to the top of an apartment building, name escapes me, where we enjoyed the cookie and an birdseye view of the inlet and a brief history of the area. As we were headed to our next stop in Chinatown, we stopped in and viewed the Chineses garden. A very peaceful place in the middle of the city with a large Koy pound , benches and pathway. We then stopped for a smash burger at Between Two Buns Burgers. Again, a local eatery with great staff and varied selection of burgers, fries, beers and ciders. We had a cheeseburger with jalapeño and a regular cheeseburger. Next stop was for a beer/beverage at what as termed as a pop up. We were able to get a local wine or beer, which were a good sampling of local products. After taking the waterbus across inlet and a short walk around the sea wall, we finished off the tour with some gelato and then said our goodbyes. Brian explained different options for us to get back to our hotel, a very short walk, with different views depending on how you returned. We opted for a sea wall stroll, then over a bridge and back to the hotel. The rain had actually held off for our tour which made for a very nice day.

    This tour was great. We started off with the best chocolate chip cookie ever, and no doubt it was the best chocolate chip cookie ever. They were beautiful views, the weather was perfect, Brian, our tour guide was wonderful, and all the food and drinks we had were great. We even threw in a little extra beach time. I would recommend this tour to anybody that wants to see Vancouver in a different way. Well done.

    I traveled with my husband, as well as another couple. And we were lucky enough to be joined by a 3rd incredibly lovely couple. Brian was a perfect guide- he’s a local guy, so knew some great foodie spots. As well as local history & points of interest. An all around fun outing that we all highly recommend.

    Great food and great discussion

    The chocolate chip cookies were great and the ice cream was spectacular. It helps to understand Vancouver by walking it with a local. Brian gave a great tour

    Thanks for the awesome review, Fran I'm thrilled you enjoyed our Vancouver Local Taste Trail. Those chocolate chip cookies are pretty hard to resist, aren't they? And I'm glad you got to experience our spectacular ice cream - it's definitely a local favorite. It was my pleasure to show you around and share some insights about our beautiful city. Walking and eating is the best way to get to know Vancouver, in my opinion! Hope you'll join us again next time you're in town for more delicious adventures.
