JUST EAT AND DRINK IT! - Sean was an amazing guide - so knowledgeable! He catered the commentary to our groups demographics and was sensitive to the diversity in age while walking and exploring. We had walked through town earlier in the day and passed many of the details of this amazing city without knowing it! Sean helped bring life to the town using storied history and cultural references to each area an establishment that we visited. And the food - well, yummmmm!!!! If you’re thinking about this one, DO IT!

Gastown with Gabriel - A little walking(of course), a little bit of interesting Gastown history, a variety of tastes of local cuisine (Brioche was tasty!), options of beverages, different wines and beers(Yes!) Gabriel was fantastic guide, knowledgeable, well spoken, did an outstanding job of tending to different dietary restrictions of the entire 14 people in the group! Started at 3pm, finished at 6pm, and we were so full, no dinner required! But…that was more or less planned on - overall, I recommend, met a variety of people, visiting at each stop.

Tour #2 - This was our 2nd Gastown Food Tour and it was even better than the first one. Kelsey was amazing, with meaningful information and setting up each of our food/drink stop. If you want to get a full understanding of Gastown, check out Taste Vancouver and request Kelsey.
