WHY THE GASTOWN?

Gastown is one of the most stylish neighbourhoods in the world and the first settlement of Vancouver. Its cute, European style streets make you feel like you are in a different country. Best yet, the trendy shops, bars, nightclubs and restaurants bring a unique culture to the area that can entertain anybody. Learn about the first original settlement of Vancouver and how it almost didn't survive to tell the tale on multiple occasions. Discover its rough and rocky past and how it has turned the corner to become a hip and trendy area with many attractions for both locals and tourists. Come see this area for yourself and enjoy some of the delicacies that Vancouver is so well known for. Vancouver's large Asian population and proximity to the ocean, has resulted in it being home to the most authentic and freshest sushi in North America.

Is there enough food during your tour?

Think of the tour as a tasting menu. As we travel you get many delicious treats that comprise a meal with desert, fruit, and snacks. You will not feel hungry after the tour.

Where do I add my discount voucher?

I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and see if there is anything we can do. We cannot promise, but we will try our best to sort something out for you.

Is there a lot of walking?

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 35 mins of walking but it is not too difficult and is broken up between food stops.

Where does your food come from?

Top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable here in Vancouver. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
