Fun and Filling - What a fun and filling experience! Our tour guide Kelsey was funny and super knowledgeable about the history of the market and the shipyards. The kind of guide that makes a place come alive in a way you can't just get by walking around. Food stops focused on local businesses and each one was unique, from carpaccio to fried chicken and donuts - this was a tasty tour!

Tourist AND locals will love it! - What a wonderful afternoon to spend time with work colleagues right in our own back yard around the Lonsdale Quay! This is truly something for both tourists and locals alike! Trust me there will be lots in the tour as a local you didn't know and it will be fun to find out. Kelsey was full of historical facts and delivered them better than any history teacher you had to keep it interesting, fun and informative. The food and drink spots we stopped at were the icing on the cake! Delicious and perfectly timed throughout the afternoon. Next I've just got to do the Gas Town tour and will be gathering some friends for our next event! Thanks so much to all who are part of these events! Sincerely, Brenda

A must-do! - We did the North Vancouver Shipyards Food Tour with Kate and loved it! Kate shared a lot of her local knowledge and guided us through several very tasty stops. A must-do on your next trip to beautiful Vancouver.

Great tour and these are the reasons why….. - Best time ever!!! This is our first time in Vancouver and thought it would be fun to do a food tour. There were a few companies to choose from and boy are we thankful we chose this tour. First off Kate our tour guide was bubbly, full of knowledge and just all around fun. We were also lucky enough to have a guide in training Rachel join our crew. She was witty , funny and all around delightful. What makes a great tour? The people and the guide. Kate got us talking and laughing. Some people on our group are from North Vancouver and they were delighted and surprised by some of the places we went. We had a great experience and at the end we all hugged as we went our separate ways. We even got invited to an improv show and before we left the island we retraced our steps and bought lovely yummies at some of the vendors we visited. I mean a fried chicken glazed donut sandwich. You have to go back.! Thank you for introducing us to the wonderful food scene of North Vancouver

So much fun! - We booked the tour to get us out of our usual restaurant rut and to try some new things. The tour did not disappoint. Kate was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and brought us to some unique places to sample their dishes. It was my guy’s first tour and now he’s chomping at the bit to go on another. WARNING… do not eat anything after breakfast! You will want an empty tummy for this!

North Vancouver Culinary Exploration - This local food tour blends historical accounts from yester-year Vancouver with some hidden culinary gems. Numerous stops at a variety of eclectic quay and nearby restaurants gives you a taste sized sample of the culinary options available. While portions are on the smaller side the multiple stops will ensure you are satiated by the end of the 2.5 hours. Kelsey, our guide did a great job blending humour, history and tasty delights.

Doing their best with what's on offer - This tour is doing its best with what they have. The tour guides are utterly amazing, amusing, interesting, and fun. The food, on the other hand, needs more than a little work to be amazing, particularly for anyone who is a "foodie". On the NV tour, the best thing was the alley food/drinks...because the venues were totally interesting, tho' I was a bit wary about fried chicken on a donut! That said, hope the tours encourage food outlets to up their game big time.

Missed potental - Tour was our introduction to North Vancouver- or so we hoped. It turned out to be centred around the mall ( 4 of the 9 stops) beside the Seabus terminal. We were expecting information on the history of shipbuilding in the area. We were lucky (psychic?) to have visited the MONOVA beforehand so we had some facts about the area and its successes and failures over the years.
