Overview

Walk through Gastown, the place where Vancouver began, stopping at the local spots that have shaped its food scene for generations. Your guide knows every kitchen, and they'll share the stories behind both as you eat your way through one of Canada's most storied neighbourhoods.
Along the way, you'll taste dishes that reflect the real Vancouver: slow-roasted pork carved to order on ciabatta, a handcrafted dessert bar that started at a farmers' market and became a BC institution, classic Scotch eggs served in a pub dating to 1910, and more.
Morning guests enjoy exclusive stops including Vancouver's most beloved hand-made donut, fried fresh daily since 1979.
Afternoon guests add a chicken taco and artisan chocolate. Every tour includes our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.
Between bites, your guide brings Gastown to life: the city's origins, the Great Fire of 1886, and the rebuilding that made this neighbourhood what it is today. Quality drinks are included at select stops.

What's Included

  • Fermented Veggie Toast on house-baked sourdough (10am tour only)
  • Handcrafted Dessert Bar, salted caramel and dark chocolate
  • Classic Scotch Eggs with house seasoning

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Vancouver over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
