A MUST activity when you’re in Vancouver - The tour was a great experience! We loved seeing a different side of Vancouver, and uncovering some local tasty gems. Would highly recommend you try it, whether your visiting or are a local. Photos from Brioche Ristorante when we returned for breakfast!

Great tour with awesome guide and stops. - Had Connor as guide. Interesting history of area as we walked through. Really enjoyed his management of everything and covering everything. Even made sure to point out for the places that had usable bathrooms ( I’m guessing size). The food ( little snippits ) was so delicious that we decided to return back to one of them birthday dinner. Brioche. The food was delicious and had impeccable service. The staff and owner were friendly with everyone ( not just our table ) and the owner was the actual chef ( it is rare to see owners actually cooking in most well established kitchen ). Apparently, he himself has some interesting background. Think he would be interesting to have a drink with and listen to. Six acres. I’ve had poutine several times in Washington state and in Canada and disliked it. Could not understand why a Canuck would like it. I finally Found a place that obviously made it the way that Canuck’s like. Delicious.

Must do! - This is one of the best food tours I have taken. Rachel was a gem as a guide, sharing a lot about Gastown’s history and each dish we tried. I appreciated that the stops were varied, reflecting Vancouver’s culinary diversity. Although I am not vegan, the cauliflower wings we tried was easily the best cauliflower tasting of my life. Thanks, Rachel, for a fun and memorable afternoon !!
