Perfect tour for newcomers and repeat visitors alike! - Maggie was fantastic! It was like touring the market with a close friend. She shared stories about the market’s history, her favorite vendors, and was super knowledgeable about the background of each vendor we stopped at. I had so much fun going back afterwards to do my own personal grocery shopping at several places we stopped. I booked this tour as someone who has been to the market many times but was stuck in a rut of visiting the same places every time. This was perfect for finding new stops! I cannot recommend this tour and Maggie enough!!

Degustation foodie lunch - Small group degustation tour of the Granville Public Market. Maggie was so knowledgable and clearly a foodie herself. The tour covered a selection of great tastes at the market as if it was a moving lunch party. Soooo much food!

Thanks Lydia!!! - Lydia was awesome! The whole experience was wonderful and we highly recommend doing a tour if you’re in the area. She also gave us great suggestions on where to grab cocktails and stores outside of the market.

Best way to experience the Granville Island market - Granville Island is chock full of things to see (and eat)... I felt that our guide Lydia really tailored the experience to us, and gave us an experience which was better than we would have had if we just wandered on our own. She told us the history of the different vendors, and had small tastes of food at each stand. The order of areas which we visited was very good, so that the tour 'flowed' like a progressive dinner. I would strongly recommend this tour.
