“A wonderful way to try different cuisines in the Gastown area and learn about this area’s history. The foods included Japanese chicken karaage, Norwegian waffles, French potatoe dish, Italian pasta and more. We also got some alcoholic drinks as a part of the meals, either a local brewed beer or a locally sourced wine. Of course there are nonalcoholic choices too. In addition we ended up going to one of the restaurants the following day for dinner. We really enjoyed our tour guide, Connor. Great choice for 3 hours in Vancouver.”

“The food was great! I would have liked to have visited more of the vendors where the food came from. Our guide would have us wait in certain spots while he went to get the food samples. So we didn’t see where it came from and I couldn’t remember the names of the places. Also, our guide was VERY new and didn’t have the answers to many of our questions - even about the food we were eating.”

8.Vancouver Private Food Tour – Taste 6+ Local Dishes & Fresh Sushi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 36 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $140

Review of Vancouver’s private Gastown food tour, with six local tastings, sushi, history, practical tips, pricing, and honest drawbacks.

“Unfortunately, this food tour didn’t live up to expectations. While the concept sounded great—exploring Vancouver’s food scene with local insights—the execution fell short. One of the restaurants had completely run out of food, which was disappointing and made the experience feel disorganized. The other stops served tasting portions that were extremely small—barely enough to get a real sense of the dish, let alone feel satisfied. For a tour that promises a culinary adventure, the portions and planning just didn’t deliver. The cultural and historical commentary was interesting, but it couldn’t make up for the lackluster food experience. Overall, it felt more like a walk with a few snacks than...”

All of the food that we sampled (plenty of it!) was quite tasty, and we were especially pleasantly surprised with the butter chicken poutine and fried cauliflower at the vegan restaurant we visited. Our guide Landon was super friendly, professional, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Highly recommend, especially at the start of your visit to Vancouver, to get a great overview of the Gastown area and all of the amazing dining options.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $349

Taste four Fraser Valley wineries on a private half-day tour from Vancouver, with hotel pickup, countryside views, and generous tastings.

“Our driver was fantastic. While in the valley, he made a point to drive us along the US/Canada border, since we are from the US. The wineries were good and varied in types of wines. One specialized in honey wines. The tastings are generous and we were very glad to have a driver. We were a bit tipsy by the time we returned to Vancouver and our driver double checked to make sure we didn't leave anything in the car specifically making us check that we had our passports, covid cards, phones, and wallets on us before he left.”
