Terrible company
Terrible. They cancelled the night before via 1 email. They never bothered to call, even though they had all our phone numbers from the sign in sheet. 0/10 would NOT recommend.
Operator response
Hi there,
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a cancellation notice the night before your tour.
We’d really like to look into what happened. We typically don’t process cancellations directly for reservations booked through Viator or Tripadvisor, so we’d appreciate the chance to better understand the circumstances.
As we’re unable to identify your booking from the review alone, could you please contact us at info@foodietours.ca with your name and booking details?
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to learn more about what happened.

Don’t wait- book this tour!
My family of 5 took the Downtown Asian Eats tour with Anjela and it was amazing!!! The route is thoughtfully planned with stops at iconic Vancouver eateries, enough time between destinations to work up an appetite again, and fun little stops for shopping. Anjela was a fantastic tour guide and we learned so much history and interesting trivia along the way. Appropriate for little kids on up. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!
Operator response

Well worth the time and price tour.
My husband and I were excited to see this VC downtown tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and catered to our individual needs and concerns. The food choices were excellent, as were the variety of stores and markets that we visited. We would not have had such a wonderful experience if we tried to discover these places on our own. Definitely will be trying the other tours offered by this tour company. Definitely will go back to all the restaurants we visited. Shout out to Anjela guide. We'll try and book another tour her.

Don't do any other foodie tour!!
This was an exceptionally good foodie tour. It was extremely well organised and the guide (Pretty??) was superb. Her local knowledge and her knowledge of Asian food was just amazing. In addition she was pleasant and engaging.
The food was to die for!! Exquisite and such generous portions. It was really good value for money. We would absolutely recommend this tour. We have done good tours in many countries and locations. This was by far the best we have ever experienced.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We have forwarded your comment and wonderful words to Preethi. We hope to see you again!

Memorable food tour, loved it!
If you’re considering a food tour, look no further. Angela was the highlight of our trip. She was so enthusiastic about showing us some of the great food places in Vancouver. The food was delicious. The pace was perfect. Come hungry because there is a lot of food. I highly recommend this tour.

Gastronomic Delight
We were excited for our second food tour upon our return to Vancouver, and we weren't disappointed. Our host and guide, Manuela, was most excellent. Her enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge re Asian food, culture and Vancouver's Asian food scene was a beyond impressive. It felt like we arrived as strangers and departed as friends!
The tour itself was unlike any of the many big city food tours we've taken. Rather that squeezing in 7-9 short stops, our tour was designed to include only 5, creating a more leisurely and intimate experience. Tasting is not a fair description of our food experience, as beside our "tastings" of dumplings, Asian soft serve ice cream, we also shared both a full sum dim and Korean BBQ meal. We completed our tour with stop to enjoy a delicious desert fruit drink that was a perfect ending to a wonderful gastronomic excursion. WARNING: come with a big appetite and pace yourself ... you won't leave hungry!
Operator response
Hi Paul,
Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your second food tour with Manuela exceeded your expectations. It’s great to know her passion for Asian cuisine and Vancouver’s food scene made such an impact. We love that you enjoyed the more relaxed pace of the tour and the delicious variety of dishes, especially the Korean BBQ and dessert fruit drink!
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Vancouver or on one of our other tours!
Best,
