What’s the Best of Downtown Tour?
THE BEST OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
As one of Canada’s most bountiful and multicultural regions, there’s no better way to experience Vancouver than through its food!
From West Coast seafood to Okanagan Valley wines, this is an all-inclusive culinary journey that highlights Vancouver’s unique, fresh, and seasonal fare from 4 unique downtown destinations.
WINES AND WEST COAST CUISINE
You’ll really get to know the local food and coastal lifestyle that Vancouver is known for! This progressive lunch features seafood 5 ways, each paired with award-winning British Columbia wines.
You’ll taste the three trademarks of Vancouver cuisine: authentic Chinese dim sum, seasonal Canadian dishes, and top-quality Canadian artisan products. And, you’ll top things off by skipping the line at a world-famous gelateria.
A FULL SERVING OF VANCOUVER LIFE
You’ll get an amazing meal, a friendly local guide, and a walking city tour of glass skyscrapers, historic hotels, and our First Nations origins.
As you walk amongst the downtown bustle and breathe in the oceanfront views, you’ll feel the rush that Vancouverites are addicted to. You’ll see why Vancouver is a beautiful place to live, work, eat, and call home!
