I had instructed him that he was to pick a family member of mine and had given him the contact information, yet he still was texting me as though I was the person he was to pick up. Arranging an Uber would have been easier and half the cost.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 36 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $140

Private Vancouver Gastown food tour with fresh sushi and local favorites, plus key landmarks like the Steam Clock and Vancouver Lookout.

“What an experience! We did the private Vancouver food tour with Mathieu, and he was just amazing. He was so knowledgeable, energetic, and passionate about Vancouver history, architecture, and (of course) food. We visited a variety of places and sampled so much: a porchetta sandwich, toffee bar, Scotch egg, CBC taco, sushi, and local chocolate. The tour takes place around the Gastown district, so while there's a bit of walking, it's not overwhelming. Everything is well paced across about 2.5 hours (at least for our private tour option). HIGHLY recommend for anyone wanting to experience a sampler from Vancouver's best eateries!”
