A Wok Around Granville Island Public Market Food Tour

Very enjoyable time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful in selecting food items to try from the market. It was a very nice experience

Bob was a wonderful guide through the Granville Market. All of the food selections were thoughtfully curated to provide a wide range of tastes. I appreciated the history of the area included in the experience. :)

Very disappointed! Unlike any food tour we’ve taken. We had a bite of candied salmon then a chai latte tea. With all the tea to choose from, we were only offered that one. I asked for an iced tea instead. No, here’s a lemonade. Next a macaroon, then a small cup of soup. Dessert next with a Nanaimo bar and then focaccia bread and cheddar cheese with 4 bites of meat. Then more dessert with a small chocolate and a donut. Why can’t all the sweets be at the end? Where’s the real food? For a 4pm-6pm time frame we expected to have this as dinner. Instead it felt like all junk food! This is $100+ pp for what?? Don’t know who picked the menu but we expected more from a “chef.”

Very relaxed and conversational tour focused on the history and food of Granville, plus getting to know the very friendly and informative tour guide.

The food vendors at Granville Market are next level in respect to quality and flavour. We enjoyed delicious samples from a wide range of curated vendors at the market. Our guide was friendly and informative and shared tidbits about the history, geography and architecture of the area. As he was a trained chef, he was knowledgeable about the vendors and foods sampled. As a first time visitor to the Market I appreciated the guided experience. I will definitely return and I recommend this tour!

Michael was personable and engaging. Since he is a chef, he had a lot of great insights and introduced us to some really good food at the market. Highly satisfied with his tour. Even gave me cooking tips! If you go, you will not need dinner afterwards.

Michael, our tour guide, was a delight to spend time with! He told us about the history of Granville Market & since he is a trained chef was able to point out unusual fruits & vegetables when we walked through the fresh food area & talk about how some of the cooked foods were prepared. The tastes were fantastic!! My husband LOVED the soup--I think the focaccia bread & cheese/charcuterie paring was great (but a bit of wine with it would have been nice!!)--BUT we both agreed that the chocolates were amazing!! I think we tasted around 10 different prepared foods--you didn't need dinner. It was great fun & I highly recommend it! I've done Viator tastings in other cities & they are always memorable because you have the chance to interact with a local resident who has great insight into the area.

Loved having Michael, a knowledgeable local, retired chef as our guide. We tried items from 10 different vendors & covered quite a bit of ground around the public market. This tour takes the overwhelm out of visiting a market of this size. Everything about booking guided tours through Viator has been top notch - on time & well taken care of throughout.

We walked throughout the Market and had a lovely selection of both savory and sweet bites. There was plenty of food to qualify as a meal. Our tour leader Michael guided us through local points of interest, as well as his experience growing up in Canada and traveling the world as a chef.

A wonderful way to get to know the city, experience the magic of the market and have some great food!
