Our tour guide Jason was amazing and very knowledgeable! When we first booked this experience I was a bit sceptical because of the price but after the tour I was amazed and I will definitely be recommending this tour to friends and family. It wasn’t just a food tasting tour it was an interesting informative experience about the whole of Vancouver not just Gastown. Coming from New Zealand we were quite unsure about the history of the place and left with an abundance of facts. It’s a must do while visiting the city!!

Our guide, Jason was terrific. Really enjoyed hearing about the history of GasTown and sampling food and drink at different establishments there

This tour was great. The food, drink, and historical knowledge all made this a tour to remember! We highly recommend this one!

Was a very nice tour! We really like it! Have a good food with amazing information about the city

Luke was an amazing host, funny and witty. The food was real good!
