How does a Foodie Tour work?

These are walking city tours, with a progressive meal along the way. From one delicious stop to the next, you’ll learn facts about Vancouver’s history, architecture and culture. We’ll skip the lines to indulge in show-stopping foods and share expert recommendations and local tips!

What if I have Dietary Restrictions?

We offer vegetarian and pescetarian tastings on all Foodie Tours! All of our food and drink tastings are arranged in advance, so we ask that you note this in your online ticket purchase. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee substitutions for other dietary restrictions such as: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan, and other food allergies. For these diets, the Granville Island Market Tour is your best option, but you may miss out on a number of tastings.

What is the Best Tour for Children?

The Granville Island Market Tour is designed to be a fun event for the whole family – we offer a $10 discount for kids 12 and under! Tickets are required for children over 3 years old. Children 3 and under who will not be eating do not require a ticket. However, please email us in advance to let us know that you’ll have a little one with you!

We design all our tours like a progressive meal – savoury to sweet, in thoughtfully-crafted portions. By the end of the tour experience, most guests are fully-satisfied, as if they had a meal! For those with larger appetites, we recommend having something light prior to the Foodie Tour.

How do you choose the tour stops?

We handpick every one of our tastings and tasting locations. These are foods we crave and places we genuinely love to visit with our own friends and family. We pay our tasting locations for the tour tastings and we work together as partners in making memorable experiences for our guests.

“Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside…this caramel coffee bun is unlike anything you’ve had before…”

At Vancouver Foodie Tours, we’re continuously on the hunt for the best eats in the city – foods that are one-of-a-kind, unforgettable, indulgent, and fun to enjoy. For Valentine’s Day 2016, we’re excited to partner with Papparoti – inventors of the world-famous, dome-shaped caramel coffee bun. This melt-in-your-mouth bun is crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and holds a sliver of salted butter in its middle. It’s served with sweet and savoury pairings like Nutella, kaya (Malaysian egg jam), cream cheese, rose jam, honey and more…we’re proud to say that we’ve tried every single one!

Papparoti started in Malaysia and can be found in major cities around the world. Of the 400+ locations, their cafe on Robson Street is the only one in Canada! Oh Vancouver, we’re so happy to call you home!
