Vancouver Private Food Tour: Taste 6+ Local Dishes & Fresh Sushi
Overview
Walk through Gastown, the neighbourhood where Vancouver began, with a guide who knows every street and every kitchen, and your group has them entirely to yourselves. This private tour covers the same beloved local stops, the same stories behind the Great Fire of 1886 and the city's origins, and the same food that has made this neighbourhood one of Canada's most distinctive eating destinations.
Along the way you'll taste dishes rooted in Gastown's history: slow-roasted pork carved to order on ciabatta, a dessert bar that grew from a farmers' market stall into a BC institution, and classic Scotch eggs served in a pub from 1910. Your menu varies depending on your tour time: morning guests enjoy Vancouver's hand-made donut fried fresh daily since 1979, plus fermented veggie toast on sourdough. Afternoon guests add a chicken taco and house-made artisan chocolate. Every departure includes our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day.
Quality drinks are included at select stops.
