“What an experience! We did the private Vancouver food tour with Mathieu, and he was just amazing. He was so knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about Vancouver history, architecture, and (of course) food. We visited a variety of places and sampled so much: a porchetta sandwich, toffee bar, Scotch egg, CBC taco, sushi, and local chocolate. The tour takes place around the Gastown district, so while there's a bit of walking, it's not overwhelming. Everything is well paced across about 2.5 hours (at least for our private tour option). HIGHLY recommend for anyone wanting to experience a sampler from Vancouver's best eateries!”

Explore Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant through bold murals, Beaumont Studios, local artists, and craft beer on a relaxed three-hour walking tour.
“Rather than a pub crawl where tasting (drinking) is the objective, the first two hours were focused on the plethora of large public art murals in the Mt Pleasant area of Vancouver. Fran was able to also bring us into several artists' studio/workspace, personalizing the artists ant their work. In the finl hour we sampled at two smaller craft breweries. Four rather than five stars because I felt the focus was not balanced between the crafts of the displays and the tastings. While we had several opportunities to rest, use the facilities, and even quaff a can of beer, saving the actual tasting to the end felt too much like…”
