5.00The walking food tour was wonderful! Ali was very welcoming, knowledgeable, personable, and lots of fun. His story telling about the history of Gastown and Vancouver was very interesting. He took us to some very historic buildings and some amazing eateries, especially the Meat and Bread sandwich shop with the absolutely delicious pork porchetta sandwich! It's a must that anyone visiting Vancouver try this sandwich (if you eat pork). The sushi, tacos, donut, and Scottish egg was also delicious. Ali also treated us to some great alcoholic beverages. I appreciate Ali being very caring and courteous; making sure he wasn't walking to fast, as I'm in my sixties with a total knee replacement in each knee and a total hip replacement. The pace was fine, even for me. Thank you Ali, for a very memorable experience!

5.00Landon took us to several local restaurants. The walk itself is not far, all within a couple city blocks. Our original guide had to cancel at the last moment and Landon, fortunately, was able to jump in.
Yummy food tour

5.00Ashram was an excellent tour guide and shared historical and architectural information about Vancouver. The restaurants were fantastic and covered a stratum from late night taco dive bar to Michelin starred sushi. Everything was excellent and Ashram’s enthusiasm was evident.
Educational and diverse eating experience!
