    We had a fantastic afternoon walking, eating and drinking our way through Gastown. Nolan, our guide, was very personable, knowledgeable and a fun host. The three spots we went to were all good and very different. Our group of six clicked too, we went out after as a group. I’d highly recommend this tour.

    It was a beautiful day in Vancouver Brandon was a good guide. The food was not what was listed in the discription but it was very good. I have went on many food tours. My only complaint is it takes to long. For the 3 hours they need one more food stops. Even if it's one where there bring out a tray with samples There is too much time waiting. Over all a good day

  • Loved the food/drinks
