Breakfast in Gastown

Lovely way to spend our first morning in Vancouver. The tour of Gastown with Sean was informative and gave us the background of the city. Our food stops were a mix of sweet and savory so everyone found something they liked. A very enjoyable tour.

Operator response

Thank you so the wonderful recommendation. Our breakfast tour is still new for us so the feedback is super helpful :)

Great tour!

Connor gave us a fabulous tour. We loved all the food stops, but the highlight was definitely hearing about all the history of Gastown from Connor.

Operator response

Thank you for the fabulous review! Connor will be thrilled :)

Breakfast tour

We don't have a large breakfast appetite and each of these stops could be considered a meal. Advice is to sample lightly. First stop was a great glazed donut, but should only have had a bite considering what was coming. Coffee stop was just so so. Really strong. We are more of a Dunkin fan. Egg Bolenese was incredible. Ukranian pancake was a delicious surprise, but had no more stomach capacity, so couldn't eat it all.

Operator response

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry the generous portions felt overwhelming and the coffee wasn’t to your taste. We’re glad you enjoyed the egg Bolognese and Ukrainian pancake, and we appreciate your helpful suggestion about sampling lightly.

Went on all 3

Kelsey was great! The North Vancouver tour was filled with the history of the dockyards, I took her advice and went to see the museum after and saw a pic of her in her Rosie the Riveter outfit. I also took the Gastown tour, both the brunch and afternoon ones, with Daniel and Andrea. Both guides were knowledgable and entertaining. While some of the spots I ended up at twice, I wasn't served the same thing.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We really appreciate you going on all three tours with us. We really appreciate the recommendation!
