Overview

Gastown after dark is the setting for this three-hour experience from Taste Vancouver Food Tours, and the drinks are built into the price rather than sold as an add-on. Guests meet a guide in a blue shirt or jacket inside Waterfront Station, beside the Starbucks at 601 West Cordova Street, at 4:45 pm. The tour itself starts at 5:00 pm and finishes back at the same spot.

Food-wise, the listing promises three chef-curated savoury dishes followed by a dessert. The included drinks are one handcrafted cocktail, two glasses of wine and a limoncello. Admission to the Top of Vancouver attraction is also covered, along with government fees. A storytelling guide leads the group, and the cap is set at twenty travellers.

Wheelchair users, pushchairs and service animals are all accommodated, and the meeting point sits near public transit. What is not covered: tips for the guide, payable in cash or by card, and hotel pickup. Groups should also know the tour needs a minimum number of bookings to run.
