This tour is doing its best with what they have. The tour guides are utterly amazing, amusing, interesting, and fun. The food, on the other hand, needs more than a little work to be amazing, particularly for anyone who is a "foodie". On the NV tour, the best thing was the alley food/drinks...because the venues were totally interesting, tho' I was a bit wary about fried chicken on a donut! That said, hope the tours encourage food outlets to up their game big time.

A very fun and tasty time celebrating our dad's birthday. Our kids were also welcome on the tour. We enjoyed all the food that was offered.

Best time ever!!! This is our first time in Vancouver and thought it would be fun to do a food tour. There were a few companies to choose from and boy are we thankful we chose this tour. First off Kate our tour guide was bubbly, full of knowledge and just all around fun. We were also lucky enough to have a guide in training Rachel join our crew. She was witty , funny and all around delightful. What makes a great tour? The people and the guide. Kate got us talking and laughing. Some people on our group are from North Vancouver and they were delighted and surprised by some of the places we went. We had a great experience and at the end we all hugged as we went our separate ways. We even got invited to an improv show and before we left the island we retraced our steps and bought lovely yummies at some of the vendors we visited. I mean a fried chicken glazed donut sandwich. You have to go back.! Thank you for introducing us to the wonderful food scene of North Vancouver

We booked the tour to get us out of our usual restaurant rut and to try some new things. The tour did not disappoint. Kate was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and brought us to some unique places to sample their dishes. It was my guy’s first tour and now he’s chomping at the bit to go on another. WARNING… do not eat anything after breakfast! You will want an empty tummy for this!

Tour was our introduction to North Vancouver- or so we hoped. It turned out to be centred around the mall ( 4 of the 9 stops) beside the Seabus terminal. We were expecting information on the history of shipbuilding in the area. We were lucky (psychic?) to have visited the MONOVA beforehand so we had some facts about the area and its successes and failures over the years.
