5.00Our afternoon w/Bob was fantastic. We learned so much about the Chinese Canadian culture & food and visited places we would have never found/gone to on our own. At each it was truly like having a personal docent with us. Also the food was wonderful (& a lot... ). He is so knowledgeable about both history and current events, places in Vancouver. Cannot recommend this highly enough! Book it now.
As good a food and culture tour as I’ve ever experienced.

5.00Bob is a superior guide. He has familial and historical ties to Chinatown. Everywhere we went the business owners were genuinely happy to see him. We did not eat at every stop but were totally full by the end of the tour. We were impressed by the historical, cultural and philosophical insights that Bob shared with us.
Wow what a brilliant...

5.00Wow what a brilliant tour. Bob was a great guide, passionate and engaging with a subject close to his heart. A perfect balance between cultural insight and food tasting, we’ve done several similar tours in other cities and this was our best by far.

5.00This was the BEST cultural and culinary tour we have ever experienced anywhere in the world. Bob, our guide went far beyond any guide explaining the culture behind the food we were experiencing. Bob tied the history of the Chinese people and culture in with their entrance into Canada and their importance to the country. We would recommend this tour to anyone of all aged.
