About this activity
Meet your tour guide at the Gassy Jack Statue outside in the heart of Gastown, 15 minutes before your 3:00pm tour. You’ll get acquainted with your fun and friendly tour guide and small group of fellow food enthusiasts before setting off on a 3-hour walking food tour.

Before you know it, you'll be weaving through the cobblestone maze of Gastown, exploring picturesque alleyways, lesser-known architectural points, and learning Vancouver's history from your savvy tour guide. You'll do 5-10 minutes of casual walking between sitting down for plated dishes of Gastown's famous food and drink!

Over 3 hours, you'll skip the lines to indulge at 4 of Gastown's locally-owned restaurants for iconic dishes and boozy pairings that Vancouverites know and love. You'll savor Canadian classics like Tuc Craft Kitchen's pork belly crackling, tempura bacon scotch eggs, and parsnip fries, paired with local British Columbia wine.

This is progressive meal AND a historical walking tour of Gastown. You'll discover Gastown's famous 'Blood Alley', the Woodwards Building, the Steam Clock and more, while learning fascinating cultural insights from your Foodie Tour Guide. You'll also collect a Printed Guide of foodie recommendations and exclusive Gastown discounts to use for the rest of your trip.

For the grande finale, the tour concludes with an immaculate dessert that (almost) looks too good to eat! To uncover the alleyways and doors that hold Gastown’s gems, a Foodie Tour can’t be beat!
