At Vancouver Foodie Tours, we believe food is more than what’s on the plate — it’s a powerful way to connect people, cultures, and communities.

Since 2010, we’ve guided thousands of guests through Vancouver’s most delicious neighborhoods, not just to taste the city, but to feel its heart.

People often join a food tour for the food — but they leave with something deeper: a sense of joy and excitement, a renewed appreciation for the place they visited, and often, unexpected connections with people they just met.

At the core of everything we do — from our approach to hiring, to the way we host our guests, treat our restaurant partners, and communicate with each other — is a simple truth: We exist to generate happiness and appreciation.

Why We Do This?

Vancouver Foodie Tours was born from a simple desire — to savour delicious food and connect through uplifting conversations.

We don’t believe life needs to be complicated. There is beauty in the simple joys — wholesome, delicious food, interesting conversations, and good people. Food is our medium. Happiness is our message.

And while any one story or moment may have hundreds of perspectives, we choose to frame our work through the lens of possibility, positivity, and hope — while always honoring the challenges and nuances of life. That outlook is baked into every experience we offer.

Today, our tours are known around the world — recognized by Forbes as one of the Top 9 Food Tours globally — but we still measure success by the joy on someone’s face after that perfect bite, the laughter between strangers-turned-friends, and the shared feeling that this experience meant something.

A Note from Our Founder, Michelle Ng

Hi, I’m Michelle — the founder of Vancouver Foodie Tours.

Vancouver Foodie Tours is my way of living out my life’s purpose: to generate happiness and appreciation.

I’ve always been energized by creating positive transformation. I believe that some of life’s most meaningful moments happen around food — when we slow down, share a meal, and connect as humans.

I started our very first tour in 2010 with a handful of guests and a big dream: to turn an ordinary afternoon into something unforgettable. To this day, my favourite moments are the simple ones — a guest’s belly laugh, a heartfelt thank you from a vendor, or a guide sharing how much joy they get from giving generously. It’s those moments that keep me going.

Every time you join a tour, you’re not just tasting food — you’re joining a ripple of joy. One that supports local makers, strengthens communities, and reminds us all to appreciate the world around us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for letting us be part of your Vancouver experience.

With appreciation,

Founder
Vancouver Foodie Tours
