5.00Our tour guide, Nolan, had a well planned walking/tasting tour of the Granville island Market. During a two hour period we walked the market and tasted a wide selection of foods and beverages. The tour was fun, and informative. A great tour giving us a broader flavor of Vancouver.
Good food and a great guide

5.00The market is crowded and it was a bit difficult to find our meeting spot, based on the instructions. Another couple had the same issue. But the tour representative was responsive to our phone call and directed us to the correct place. Our tour guide (Sharon) was knowledgeable and friendly. We had about 14 tastings at a variety of vendors -- and by the end of our tour at 12:30 we were full! The tour is in a covered market with a number of outdoor eating areas. Unlike many neighborhood food tours, the number of steps were fewer, which was nice for my husband, who had recently hurt his knee.
Had a wonderful morning...

5.00Had a wonderful morning with Sandra and the other guests. We had tons of tastings-bread, cheese, meats, and PICKLES!!, etc-very pleased with how much food was provided. Highly recommend doing a food tour here bc it would be hard to taste so much on your own without ordering huge portions. Thanks Sandra for a great tour!

5.00We enjoyed the whole tour. Lydia, our guide was wonderful. She was knowledgable, and she told us so many interesting things about the market. And, of course, all of the foods we tasted were delicious. It was one of the best food tours we have taken.
