Fun food tasting tour - We didn't really know what to expect with this tour. There was a group of 10 of us. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our guide, Angela, who was extremely personable and knowledgeable.

Granville excellence! - Our tour guide was amazing! Sorry don't remember his name but he shared information about the market/surroundings and shared tastings in many of the sralls. We returned a few days later, enjoying a slower pace and buying some of what the tour guide recommended!

Amazing fun food tour - This is the most amazing, informative and fun tour. Twelve people led by an awesome guide to spend 2 hours moving around the stalls of Granville Market. Start with a lemon iced tea, artisan sourdough bread, cheese, salmon, charcuterie, Thai noodles, pickles and then chocolate, macaroons and doughnuts finished up with a coffee. Great value and great flavours. A memorable tom me for sure!

Something in Vancouver you must do! - Nolan was wonderful. I really loved the cheeses, but can't stop thinking of the donut. My least favorite was the noodles but It am glad I tried them.

Great way to experience Granville Island Market - The food tour was amazing! Nolan was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the vendors there and the market itself. My husband and I really enjoyed the tour and sampling something from a few of the booths. It might be different each time, not sure, but whatever it is that they do is fantastic. We got to the market early before the tour so that we could walk around for a bit before meeting up with the tour group. We ended up going to a few of the vendors that we were interested it so it worked out. The pickle booth was fantastic! So were the macaroons...and the tea! Yummy...this is a must do tour!

A 'must do' tour in Vancouver - The organization, participating vendors, and variety of foods was truly well done but the real star of this food tour was our guide Michael. I have been on many food tours, and I was so impressed with Michael's knowledge of the foods, the chefs/owners, process, history and cultural impact. He also is quite adept at keeping a group engaged, moving and safe (those seagulls can be a bit aggressive.) Thank you for an awesome experience!

Excellent Food Tour - We have taken a lot of food tours and this one was by far the best. The guide was friendly, and knowledgeable and the food selection was excellent. We tried a lot of different food in this lively busy public market. I highly recommend it
