Legal: Affiliate Disclosure And Privacy

This page collects the two notices that govern a visit here: how the affiliate links work, and what happens to the little data a visit produces. Nothing is sold on these pages, and every booking happens on the platform at the other end of the link.

Affiliate Disclosure

How This Site Earns Money

Some links on this site are affiliate links, and each tour card leads to a live listing on GetYourGuide or Viator. Book through one of those links and the platform pays this site a small commission. Your price does not move by a cent. The from-price on a card, whether for the $109.78 A Wok Around Granville Island tour or the $349.63 private half-day wine tasting, is simply what the listing displays, and nothing is added for arriving here first. The booking itself happens on the platform, never on these pages. That commission keeps the comparison pages running.

Walking Tours, Hotels, And Other Links

Two other link types sit under the same arrangement. Free and pay-what-you-want walking tours are linked from GuruWalk, while the hotel cards point to Expedia through Travelpayouts. A booking through either can also pay this site a commission, and the price you see stays untouched regardless of where the link came from. The terms match the food and drink tours exactly.

To be clear about what this site is not: it owns no tour, runs no walks, employs no guides, and sells no product of its own. It never takes a booking directly. Affiliate commission from the platforms named above is the only revenue it receives.

How Tours Are Chosen And Ranked

Rankings follow what the listings themselves show: the rating, the review count, the from-price, what is included, and how long the tour runs. An operator cannot pay for a higher slot. A Mount Pleasant walk with a single-digit review count sits beside a Gastown tour carrying over two thousand reviews, both on identical terms. Ratings and review numbers are the platforms' own figures, drawn from the live listings, so they shift whenever a price or a rating moves. Every tour is run by the company named on its booking page. If dates or prices look different from what a card shows, the booking page you land on is the authority, and the FAQ covers the common questions.

Anything unclear can go through the contact page, where you will get a straight answer. The privacy policy below sets out what data a visit produces. Thanks for reading this far, and enjoy eating your way through Vancouver.

Privacy Policy

Reading these comparisons requires no account. There is no sign-up form, no newsletter, and no checkout anywhere on the site, and nothing is sold directly through these pages, so whether you are browsing Gastown food walks or Fraser Valley wine tours, you never hand over personal details.

What Gets Collected When You Browse

Like nearly every website, the server keeps standard logs for each request. These records typically include your IP address, the browser and device in use, which pages were opened, and the time of each visit. They exist to run the site and keep it secure, not to identify individuals comparing one Granville Island market walk against another.

Cookies And Analytics

Simple analytics may count visits, which pages get read, and how often readers click through to live booking pages. The purpose is measurement: finding out whether the comparisons are actually useful. No personal profiles are built, and the numbers are read in aggregate rather than tied to any one visitor.

Third-Party Services

Every tour link leaves this site for an external booking page, and occasionally for a partner page as well. Those partners include GetYourGuide, Viator, GuruWalk, Expedia, and Travelpayouts. Once you click through, the provider's own privacy policy governs the visit, not this one. The same goes for any payment or confirmation later, since no booking is ever processed on these pages.

Asking About And Deleting Your Data

You can ask what information is held about you, or request its deletion, through the contact page. Because so little is collected, most answers arrive quickly. Cookies can also be blocked in your browser settings without losing access to the tour listings.

Changes To This Policy

This policy may be revised from time to time, for example if a new analytics or booking partner is added. When that happens, the current version replaces any earlier one on this same page. Checking back here is the simplest way to stay current with what this site collects and why.
