Taste the best of BC’s food culture in style
Vancouver Food Tour’s guided culinary tours showcase the best restaurant gems in Vancouver’s most vibrant neighbourhoods and beyond. Unlike other tours, we lead you away from tourist traps instead of towards.
A passionate team of local food and drink experts entertain guests on the delectable and informative tours. Our guides are never hired actors because we believe you deserve a culinary professional as your guide.
Our evening tour is the best way for travellers to meet new friends while they learn about BC’s colourful history and food culture.
We take care of every detail on the V.I.P. experience the so guests can simply relax and enjoy the ride. As we dine from one stop to the next, our guides reveal our city’s unique secrets and stories.
Our progressive dinner menu focuses on local, seasonal, and sustainable fare, including BC wines, craft beers, cheeses and charcuterie, seafood, and much more. This tour is perfect for guests that love food, city exploration, and desires to taste Vancouver from a true local’s perspective.
We have ample experience in hosting private events such as bachelor parties and bachelorettes, corporate and company parties, and other milestones and celebrations. We welcome locals and businesses to contact us to customize a culinary tour for their group.
