If you are looking to something fun to do and love food this is the tour for you. Our tour guide Chirag was amazing. He not only has a passion for the city he loves but also for the local food. He took us to some amazing places and we learned so much about Vancouver and Gastown. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Vancouver, this is a must do .

Chirag was our tour guide and he was wonderful; funny with good history and stories. Lots of details about the entire Vancouver area. A huge breadth of knowledge of food and drinks in the area. He kept the tour moving at a good pace and was able to recommend other activities for us to do beyond the scope of the tour also.

We loved learning and tasting many different dishes throughout the tour. Our guide Kate was wonderful and very engaging. We learnt so much information about Gastown old and new. Thanks for a wonderful tour Kate. We left with very full bellies.

First, Katie was a great guide. What we didn’t like were the choices of food and having to stand outside to eat at two establishments. Also, we were offered no water in a three hour time span. Having done many food tours all over the world, we feel there is room for improvement with this tour.

Enjoyed our tour, and our tour-guide, Chirag, who did an outstanding job! The bites that we enjoyed allowed us to experience multiple restaurants in the Gastown area, and helped us decide what our dinner plans will be. Chirag was knowledgeable about the area, and able to answer all our questions (even ones that had nothing to do with the tour). This was our first "food tour" while traveling. Part of the pleasure of doing this was meeting other guests from different countries, and speaking with them during each stop. The food, the guests, and the guide were all good. I definitely recommend this tour.
