5.00Andrew is the guide and owner so you are getting a very personal service on this tour. We have done many food tours on family holidays and this ranks up there in the top 3! So much food, so much fun and we learned so much about Kelowna. After the tour we used Andrew’s recommendations for breakfast and dinner restaurants which were all fantastic. If you’re visiting Kelowna, book this tour and let Andrew introduce you to his city and all the local producers & business owners that he is passionate about. Thank you Andrew, we had the best time.
