5.00Wow! What a way to get a glimpse of Kelowna. The restaurants were more of your local places where staff was friendly and gracious. The food was superb and the drinks were just right.
Fun day on. A wine tour

5.00We had a fantastic experience on our walking food tour with Andrew, a true local “know it all” in the best possible way. His passion and deep knowledge of Kelowna really brought the city to life in such an engaging and entertaining way. We especially enjoyed the diversity of foods we were able to try, along with the stories behind each dish and the backgrounds of the restaurant owners. It added so much depth to the experience and made every stop feel meaningful rather than just a tasting. It was also greatly appreciated that food allergies were thoughtfully accommodated, allowing everyone in our group to fully enjoy the experience without concern. Andrew was incredibly personable, and it was clear this was reflected everywhere we went. The warm greetings he received from restaurant owners and even people we passed along the way spoke volumes about the strong relationships he has built in the community. His love for Kelowna was very evident throughout the tour—and just as clearly, that enthusiasm is reciprocated by the people and places that make the city so special. A wonderful experience from start to finish and highly recommended.
Excellent food and culture.

5.00The experience was precisely as advertised. All of the vendors were ready for us and were friendly and welcoming. Andrew was very knowledgeable about the history of Kelowna and shared some personal history as well. We found that he had a connection with our city in Alberta and that he really likes a BIG burger. Thank you for an interesting and tasty afternoon.
A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! The food, the drinks, and the friendly atmosphere were off the charts good! Andrew k
