Fantastic Foodie Tour - Great food tour of Granville Island Market. Gina was an excellent guide and provided an entertaining and informative tour of some wonderful producers and stores . Incredibly generous amount of food so our advice is to go with an empty stomach . Highly recommend

Fantastic time tasting! - We had a great time tasting with our tour guide Maggie. My friend is vegetarian and this was well-accommodated with alternatives available at the meat & seafood stops. We left very full & satisfied!

Great Food Adventure - We always find a Food Tour valuable in understanding a new place. The VFT was no different. But it was really well conceived and executed. Our guide Mack was exceptional. He was really engaging with the group, while his passion for the local producers and products blended into an enjoyable narrative. A very well organized and fun tour. Definitely worth it!!

Great way to spend part of the day! - My wife and I had a great time on the tour and had Michael lead our group- who was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history of all the vendors and the are and kept the tour moving at a nice pace. The food and treats we sampled were great examples of local artisnal food. We had a great time. If you get the chance take a water taxi from one of the local docks to get there. Super fun all around.

A great way to see the market - This review comes as part of an itinerary of a road trip arranged by Audley Travel. Gina, our guide, was really informative and very knowledgeable. The food we got to taste was really nice; some of the samples were outside of my usual menu, but I ate it anyway. After the tour we walked around the market and bought some of the food we tasted.

The only way to experience Granville Island Market! - Michael was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He made everyone feel included and welcome at all times, and navigated the busy market very well. His knowledge of the market vendors and their products as well as Vancouver overall exceeded our expectations. All of the food and beverages we tried (10+) were outstanding, a variety or sweet and savoury. The group size was perfect. There were a couple of dietary requirements within our group which Michael catered for. This was by far the best tour we did on our 3 week trip. This is definitely the best way to discover Granville Island - highly recommend!! Thank you

Granville Island tour - We’d been to Granville Island before in the height of the summer when it was crazy busy, we decided to take a tour this time to enhance our trip. I’ve forgotten the lady’s name who held the tour but she did a good job with a large group (14 ppl). I think the fact that the market wasn’t busy and we had good weather to allow us to stand outside as a group worked in our favour. If you’ve never been to Granville Island before, do consider joining one of these tours, it’s a nice way to meet other people. I appreciate that it’s not cheap but it’s a curated visit to a (often) hectic location, well worth it in my eyes, especially on a weekend.
