Experience Details

Walk through Gastown, the neighbourhood where Vancouver began, with a guide who knows every street and every kitchen, and your group has them entirely to yourselves. This private tour covers the same beloved local stops, the same stories behind the Great Fire of 1886 and the city's origins, and the same food that has made this neighbourhood one of Canada's most distinctive eating destinations.

Along the way you'll taste dishes rooted in Gastown's history: slow-roasted pork carved to order on ciabatta, a dessert bar that grew from a farmers' market stall into a BC institution, and classic Scotch eggs served in a pub from 1910. Your menu varies depending on your tour time: morning guests enjoy Vancouver's hand-made donut fried fresh daily since 1979, plus fermented veggie toast on sourdough. Afternoon guests add a chicken taco and house-made artisan chocolate. Every departure includes our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.

Quality drinks are included at select stops.

What You Get

12pm and 4pm tours:
Classic Scotch Eggs with house seasoning.
Slow-Roasted Pork Sandwich on ciabatta
Hotel Pick-up and Drop-off
Gratuities

Good To Know

  • Due to the nature of creating a well balanced and thoughtful gastronomy experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate certain dietary restrictions. Please contact us prior to booking your tour to see if we are able to accommodate your dietary needs.
  • Please note: the itinerary and menu is subject to change, based on the locations’ availability, weather, and other circumstances.
  • Please dress appropriately as weather in Vancouver can bring all 4 seasons in one day! It does rain often, so keep that in mind.
  • Please ensure to contact us in advance of the tour for any dietary requirement, to ensure we can cater for them the best we can.
  • We strongly advise wearing comfortable walking shoes to all of our guests. Our tour runs a little over 3 hours.
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
