Brunch and History! - I had the opportunity to join this tour last Tuesday, and it was a wonderful experience! I love learning about the history of a city, and this tour was a fantastic way to explore Gastown’s rich past while tasting delicious food from different local restaurants. The portion sizes were generous, and I really appreciated how they thoughtfully accommodated our food allergies. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys good food and fascinating stories!

Great way to experience local brunch spots! - Sean was a great guide! Not only was he knowledgeable about many cool facts of the city, he also kept the group entertained with his great energy and was approachable to answer any questions we had. The tour is unique in the sense that you get to visit many non touristy spots and experience true local businesses with a cool vibe. One of my favourites was visiting a cafe that used to be a nightclub! For food, you get to try a few different bites at 5 different spots. Even though they are "bites" or samplers, we were stuffed by the end and everything was delicious!

A Must-Try Food Adventure in Gastown! - This was such an amazing and delicious tour! Our guide was lovely, very funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about Gastown’s history. The tour was well-rounded — we enjoyed a fantastic mix of savoury and sweet dishes, along with fresh bread, coffee, tea, a mimosa, and even a waffle! Highly recommended!

Good fun, Great food! - We had so much fun on the Gastown Brunch Tour. Sean was our main guide, with Chirag and Gabriel along as well. They were all so fun and friendly. They made sure to make everyone feel special and seen. We laughed, ate amazing food and learned so much about Vancouver/Gastown. I highly recommend any of their tours! PS: There was a woman on our tour who was gluten-free and they accommodated her so nicely at each stop. She raved about the food, too!

Delicious & Delightful Gastown Brunch Tour - What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning! I don't find myself in Gastown very often, and was genuinely surprised by these hidden gems that we were taken to! From the architectural inspiration of Waterfront Station, to the San Fransico oriel windows, it was a great reminder of just how much history there is in Gastown. Our tour guide was friendly, fun and informative, and my husband and I were both blown away by the variety of food we got to try! As a vegetarian, I was very impressed with the selections that were offered and will definitely be going back to these restaurants!

Exemplary Gastown Experience with Taste Vancouver Foods - Connor was our guide and he was fantastic. From the get go, we knew he was in commnand, by explaining the afternoon agenda, where we were going, access to comfort locations, menues, building access, safety precaution & how the event would end. He then entertained us the entire 3 hours with much humour, stories, historical events, provided a detail chef's explanation of the food preparations and contents at each location. 2 guests had food allergies, Connar looked after their needs at every stop. Connar did a magnificant job, both of us were indeed impressed. Thank you Taste Vancouver Food Tours. Lynne & Bob Delta, BC
