Gastown Historic Walking Food 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.

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.

Jason our tour guide was brilliant so informative. Food stops were fabulous and we all loved every minute of this tour so worth booking

Throughly enjoyed the food experience and the guide. Took us to places we had walked past. Our guide had a great knowledge

Jason was a wonderful tour guide. He made this event so special. Also met some wonderful people from all over north America on this tour.

What a great way to find restaurants in an unfamiliar city! Our guide was fantastic. He blended in a little history of the city as we walked between restaurants. I would definitely recommend this tour!

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.
