Gastown Historic Walking Food Tour

Interesting and fun trip led by Sean. Tried some different food and drinks from small local businesses and got some history about the city An enjoyable afternoon

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.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun! Food and drink was varied and well spaced so we could enjoy it all!

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.

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

Our group of 10 family members totally enjoyed our afternoon food tour in Vancouver. Rachel did an amazing job keeping the tastings fun and interesting. We highly recommend this tour!

We enjoyed to whole experience. Sean, our guide, was friendly, informative and told interesting stories. The variety of food and drinks were fun and delicious. It’s a great way to try new foods. I wish we were staying in Vancouver a little longer to go back to try the places again!

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 .

Our guide Bonnie gave an animated tour which included interesting historical facts complimented with great food tastings

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.
