We did participate the Gourmet Ice Cream Tour and it was very good. It is nice to see that there are these more focused food tours also. The ice creams in this tour were amazing and it was nice to taste also some ice creams that I would not maybe try normally. The only down side for me as a ice cream enthusiastic, was that I would prefer even more tasting stops =)

Hello Jani82,

Thank you for your review, we really appreciate the feedback. So glad you enjoyed the Gourmet Ice Cream Tour. We will be changing the tour for 2018 and we are adding pizza! So there will now be three ice cream stops and 2 pizza samples for an even more diverse tour. Hope to see you on another tour,

Bonnie

we went to 5 different places where we sampled food (4) and wine/beer (1). It was very interesting to get to know the neighbourhood of Powell street/ Railtown and see how it is developing. We'll be back!

Hello alex n,

Thank you for the review, we love getting feedback from our guests. So glad you enjoyed the Railtown Urban Eats Tour. Yes, this is definitely a neighbourhood that is changing, I think it is what Gastown was 15 years ago. We are excited to be showing off this interesting, historic, and authentic Vancouver 'hood. Looking forward to seeing you on another tour,

Bonnie

I was expecting this tour to be fun, since it's about food after all, but I was surprised how much I learned as well. Julie must be the World's Best Guide - she is adorable and so full of information. My friend and I enjoyed it immensely, and it was just the right length. Thanks so much!

Hello Katherine W,

Thank you for the review of our Railtown Urban Eats Tour, we appreciate the feedback. So glad you ejoyed the guiding services of Julie, we are lucky to have her! And like all of our tours, they are much more than just food! Especially our Railtown tour that contains so much history of Vancouver, Japanese immigrants, and architectural history. We think this neighbourhood is one of the most interesting (and tasty) areas of Vancouver!

Hope to see you again,

Bonnie

We come to Vancouver several times a year and were looking for a food tour in a neighborhood we had not yet explored. This was an excellent introduction to Railtown and included 5 very nice stops that we would never have found on our own. It was a lively group of 8 on our tour and after introductions everyone mingled well and shared their food with each other. Got some history of the neighborhood and were shown some historic photos but would have liked to have learned more and would have liked to walk closer to the port to get a sense of place. Food was good, albeit a bit pricey given the cost of the tour plus tip. Also might have been coordinated a bit more as two stops offered tomato soup and two had similar salads. All in all it was a fun afternoon with nice company and worth taking if this area is new to you. If brand new to Vancouver I would suggest the tours in the more popular areas to get acquainted with the larger city first.

Did the Canada 150 Food Tour in Victoria with Bonnie this past weekend. It was fabulous. Great information, interesting stops, and great host. The food samples were generous (not large, but good size sample to get a good taste). The history of Victoria and the food items was fantastic. Bonnie is knowledgeable, passionate, polite, and organized. She even brought little surprises in her backpack for us. The walk is not strenuous, and it is a good pace. It was myself and my husband along with a family of 5 adults from the States, and we all enjoyed the tour.
