Vancouver Local Taste Trail

What a great experience. Brian is an engaging and informative guide, with lots of stories, information and chat. We enjoyed spending time with him and the culinary treats. Cookies to die for, smash burgers and spicy fries, a cheeky orange natural wine (a first for me) and an indulgent ice cream to finish it off…. We will not be eating again for a while. Would not hesitate to recommend this walking/boat bus trip. Thank you Brian for your professionalism and charm. Grace and Nick

If you want to experience Vancouver like a local, you should book this tour with Brian. From the very start, Brian’s relaxed friendliness completely set the tone for the afternoon. He feels less like a rigid tour guide and more like an old friend showing you around his favourite neighbourhood spots. He is incredibly warm, welcoming, and happy to share great insider tips about the city without ever making the tour feel rushed or scripted. While the smash burgers were incredible, the absolute star of the show for me was the gourmet chocolate chip cookie. It is definitely not "just another" chocolate chip cookie - Oh No! It has another gourmet surprise ingredient - but I am going to keep that a secret; you will just have to book one of Brian's tours to find out what the secret ingredient is. Brian ensures you get full-sized, generous portions and personalised choice at every single stop. Just make sure you skip lunch!

My wife and I completely enjoyed this tour with Brian. We were late to the tour but Brian was understanding and flexible. The food and drinks were great and his knowledge of EVERYTHING Vancouver, from food and drink, to points of interest and historical matters was fantastic. We have been on tours around the world and this one was well worth the time because of Brian and the little known food and drink establishments that he showed us . He also gave us recommendations for other restaurants and venues which was an unexpected and well appreciated bonus!

Enjoyed the tour food was good

Got to eat tons of yummy food. Bryan promised to give us the best cookie in all of Vancouver and he was not wrong.

Brian was amazing! We saw Vancouver from the 42nd floor and received a local’s perspective of the town: history, best local food, cool spots with great views. I had high expectations and the tour surpassed those. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

All I can say is, "Wow!" Brian is a true local who knows exactly where to find Vancouver's best food and drinks. We spent an incredible afternoon exploring the city through a local's perspective, with every stop better than the last. From an unforgettable popcorn, marshmallow, and chocolate chip cookie to one of the best smash burgers we've ever had, every bite was outstanding. Unlike many food tours that offer only small samples, Brian treated us to full-sized portions at every stop. We left with full stomachs, great memories, and a whole new appreciation for Vancouver's food scene.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Brian. Great chat, great food and even better beer! Brian's local knowledge was 2nd to none. He had plenty of great stories and gave us invaluable advice for the rest of our stay in Vancouver. 11/10, would go again! 👍

Brian was extremely friendly and informative. We met in a local coffee shop, and then proceeded to a nearby rooftop where we munched on an unusual cookie while experiencing the panoramic views of Vancouver. We then walked around parts of Vancouver and visited a local park then onto a burger joint and finally ice cream. Enjoyable start to our vacation.

Great food, local sites, & great tour guide.
