Fantastic tour sampling some of the best food Vancouver has to offer. Great for deciding where to return for a full meal. Sean was knowledgeable and friendly; essentially, the perfect tour guide.
Perfect Afternoon in Gastown

We had transportation problems and were late for the tour. Couldn't reach anyone to tell them we would still try to get there but we did find another of their guides who told us how to catch up with our group. Sean was accommodating when we showed up as was the rest of the group and the Hart bartender who made us drinks. The rest of the tour was fun and the group gave us their input on a place we missed that was perfect for dinner. A really fun "1/2" tour.
Excellent tour

Dan was an excellent tour guide providing lots of history & commentary
There were a lot of desserts and we would have enjoyed another appetizer/main sampler instead of 1 of the desserts

The guide Rachel was GREAT! and the two places we got food was delicious but then three deserts I would recommend more food and less sweets. The one beer was IPA which was terrible I run a bar at home and you will find IPA drinkers don't mind drinking something else but you will hardly ever find someone who drinks Miller Lite for instance will drink a IPA. The two wines we tasted were great. So guide was great and very knowledgeable but just for you're information there's lots of walking and standing out in the sun. So need to decided if that's worth a few tastings of food. You will also learn a lot of history of Gastown .
Yum!

Jason was a blast - not to mention a trooper! 3 weeks after a major medical procedure, he was up on his feet and leading us on delightful path through Gastown. It's a real fun 'hood, all decked out with cobbled streets and historically cute buildings. The usual anti-corporatism is abundant here, but they do at least let the corporations in, so long as they hide their logos behind other thematically consistent brickwork. Our food tour did not include stops for shopping, but we passed several boutiques that looked like hours of fun browsing.
The food spots were well curated and all exceptional - we loved the waffle spot the most but everything was great! I was the only non-drinker in a group of 20, but Jason never failed to pause and ask me my preference for the substitute, and I got to sample fabulous homemade lemonade that IMHO the drinkers around me were sorry to have missed. Speaking of which, everyone was lovely and polite, yes, even the three guys doing this for a bachelor party weekend. We all switched up our seating with every new destination, and had great fun meeting new people all the tour long.
Jason was a store of hilarious anecdotes about Gastown, and as a resident, you could tell he had a real love for the district. Left Brain and I were in agreement - if we had to leave our home and start over somewhere new, Gastown would be pretty close to the top of the list. Great sales pitch, Jason! As usual with any good food tour, our only regret was that we didn't leave enough space at the end to go back and eat a full meal at any of the highlighted spots. Do yourself a favor and leave room for dinner at Brioche.
Great tour

Rachel was terrific. Every step of the way was well executed and effectively planned. There was plenty of food of all types and Rachel provided a great deal of historical perspective to the area. Highly recommended.

We had a really great time walking Gastown and sampling the food. Our guide was knowledgeable and it was good to get an insight into the area whilst experiencing some of the local restaurants. We went back to a few of the restaurants after our tour. Be prepared to be full after the tour though, so don't plan a big evening meal. Highly recommended.
Awesome, fun and informative!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
