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.
