A very interesting dive into the cultural and historical aspects, and foods of Chinatown, Vancouver, lead by a very personable guide. It was very enjoyable to visit the museums and discuss the family stories with a descendent of an original immigrant. Food and tea tastings were woven into the heritage theme, helping to create a better understanding of the Chinese history in Canada.

We’ve done a number of food tours around the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and the time we spent with Bob learning about Chinatown was definitely one of the best. It was like you had an old friend who is an expert on Chinatown showing you around. He hit the right level of information sharing and pacing of the tastings leading up to lunch. I wasn’t really looking forward to the herbal medicine stop, but it was fascinating. The tea service was the perfect end to our afternoon of exploring.

This was amazing! I moved to Vancouver about 30 years ago and never really experienced Chinatown.
Bob was so knowledgeable about history and food -couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Now I know the best places in Chinatown to visit including the museums and of course the garden. Thanks so much Bob!!!

This was a great introduction to the Granville Market area. Rob was very knowledgeable about the history and the food customs and led us through sampling a wide range of foods. In fact there was so much we took a doggy bag home with us! Really enjoyed this insight into local Vancouver culture - and their sweet tooth! We would highly recommend it.

Bob, our tour guide went above and beyond to make this experice memorable. We learned a lot about the history and creation that went in to making all the historical buildings in chinatown. On top we tried some delicius food that as a local never even knew existed. Overall was a great tour that i recomend for those who love food and learn more on the creation of this historical town.

We had a lovely time with our guide, Bob! He was very informative; he talked to us about the history of Granville, the best foods in the market and knew the best picture spots! He even sent us a list of suggestions for places to eat in and around the city. We had a great time and felt really taken care of even though we were barely moving at the end, we were so full!

We were a group of 6 ranging in age from 19 to 80 with various food restrictions. Bob was very attentive to our needs. He made adjustments on the speed of the tour and the food choices based on our needs without losing the feel of the tour. We loved how he delved in to the history of the Chinese in Vancouver and Canada and wove in personal anecdotes that brought the culture to life. He thoughtfully described the evolution of Chinese food in North America and the significance of Chinatown to the lives of Chinese immigrants. He is an excellent ambassador for Chinese community in Vancouver. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It is a great introduction to Vancouver.
