“Had 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.

A private 3.5-hour Gastown food walk with 6+ tastings plus sushi, paired with iconic sights like the Steam Clock and Lookout.
“Unfortunately, this food tour didn’t live up to expectations. While the concept sounded great—exploring Vancouver’s food scene with local insights—the execution fell short. One of the restaurants had completely run out of food, which was disappointing and made the experience feel disorganized. The other stops served tasting portions that were extremely small—barely enough to get a real sense of the dish, let alone feel satisfied.

“Karen was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. She was determined to give us the best experience possible—and she accomplished that goal!

She was always asking us to tell if there was something we saw that we would like to explore—and deftly managed to fit everything in. We could not have asked for a better guide The food stops were absolutely amazing! A wide variety— and much more food than expected (we saved money on dinner!)”
