Suberb eats in Gastown! - Our guide Preethi was excellent! So knowledgeable and easy to talk to. And the 3 restaurants we went to, along with the food and drinks, was amazing. All in all we had a wonderful time!

Eclectic mix of foods - We thoroughly enjoyed our food trip around Gastown. Enjoyed an eclectic mix of Mexican fusion, Italian and Ukrainian foods. Pryti (my apologies I'm sure I spelled that wrong) did a wonderful job of relating the history of the area and pointing out the things that make it unique. Great place to visit with some wonderful restaurants.

Gastronomic Gastown Food Tour - Prethi was an outstanding guide. The venues were exactly right; interesting and tasty food. The margaritas at Monarca were a treat. The pizza at Gastown Gastronomy was very good and we closed out the meal with a special tiaramisu. Prethi's knowledge of Vancouver history and her Vancouver perspective were enjoyable and informative. We are very happy that we took this tour.

Gastronomic gaslight tour. - Very unique restaurants with great hosting and good times. Highly recommend. Not super plentiful in terms of volume of food and drinks but still enough for a good time.
Bronson as our host was very personable and friendly.

Great girlfriend foodie event! - Was a little more expensive but SOOO worth it! The three restaurants were definitely more upscale, wonderful iconic Gastown locales…. excellent food with great drinks. Our guide Bronson was outstanding! Very knowledgeable, high energy and lots of fun. We’ve done lots of foodie tours and this was definitely one of the best! Highly recommended!

Pleasant event - A group of 11 people soon started chatting and made for good company.
We ate at a lovely Ukrainian restaurant - which we would honestly not have considered if not on the tour. This was followed by Mexican , then Italian. All were located literally within one block so not much walking needed. Lovely chatty engaging informative and attentive guide Preedi ( sorry about spelling !🤣).

Fun time! - We had a great time with Bronson. He was full of information about Gastown ! He knew the food inside and out and introduced us to some new dishes. It was a fun few hours!

Great Event to Explore - We immensely enjoyed a great tour with our knowledgeable guide Bronson when we had our Gastown Gastronomic adventure with Vancouver Foodie Tours. We had out of town guests and it was such a pleasure to show them around this historic area. I would highly recommend the tour with the tasty food and beverage offerings, great samplings that paired well and fit the locations.

Enjoyable tour, but lacked something to make it special - We enjoyed our afternoon tour with Bronson. The format of the tour was short guided walks around a small part of Gastown, followed by food & drinks in a restaurant - this was repeated 3 times.
Whilst we enjoyed the food and drink we were served, we didn't feel that the tour lived up to some other food tours we have done in other cities - it would have been nice to see more restaurants, over a wider area. In particular, half the dishes served are in the final Italian-ish restaurant which, whilst perfectly tasty, didn't feel like anything we couldn't find in every other major city in the world.
Overall, we had a good afternoon, which was lifted by our guide's tour style and knowledge of the local area.
