Sean was fun and informative. The food was good and our stops were well executed. The steam clock went off right on cue! An enjoyable afternoon!

I highly recommend this foodie tour we took in historic venues with Sean as our guide. We learned a lot of history of this part of Vancouver and he timed it so we experienced the music of the famous steam clock when it chimed at 4 p.m.! If you're on the fence about this one just do it! We met some great people and enjoyed a delicious
variety of foods.

Kelsey did a wonderful job of sharing food and culture with our small group. A minimal amount of walking and she gave us a written list of the places we visited making it easier to return to them if we wanted. Highly recommend this tour.

This tour was fantastic! Kelsey was a WONDERFUL guide on the Gastown food tour. The food was delicious, and everything was very well planned out to be ready exactly when we arrived. The pacing was good, with lots of stops and chances to sit as well as walk, and it was a fun way to spend a few hours. I went as a solo traveller and had a great time.

It was very informative. The background stories gave it a nice flavor.
The guide spoke very fast and was difficult to understand sometimes, especially since we were in a larger group and there was much background noise.
