Very enjoyable tour of the food market. Got to stop at a bunch of stalls to try samples of different foods available at the market. It's a great way to start the day and spend time on the island. Afterwards, you can take a quick ride on a ferry across the water to get back to the mainland. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun.

Our guide Laia was informative and knowledgeable and shared some good food stories of her own experience. The samples were interesting and plentiful. Granville is grand!

This tour is TOP NOTCH! Michael was enthusiastic and very informative. We tried maybe 20 different types of food, very versatile from tea/coffee, to break, to pickles, to Thai food, to dessert! (And many of each). Grenville Island is so quaint and you get time to purchase afterwards (and you get a discount with your name tag). So Fun! My teenage kids would have loved this!

The Granville Island Market is a Vancouver icon, and this tour is the PERFECT way to explore and learn. The market's location is great, taking the Aquabus to the market is a must-do, the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, every food vendor on the tour is amazing.... and if that's not enough, you also get to skip the line for samples while you're on the tour :)

Michael was a great and funny guide! This is our second time taking this tour, each time had a few different stops but we learned different things and enjoyed all the tastings! Such a great way to spend a morning at Granville - highly recommend!

Enlightening, and exactly the right length. There is so much to see, it was wonderful to have a guide. Plus, plenty of time the rest of the day to further explore.

Book this trip! Been all over the world and done many other tours but this one was the best by far.Ingred was an amazing tour guide.She is very knowledgeable and if you love rescue dogs like I do be prepared to meet many of the dogs she helps on sanoa island . We had the perfect day for weather and the many stops we checked out on the tour were fantastic. This was a smaller speed boat tour which allows you to do much more than the large catamaran boats. The highlight of the tour for myself was the overall service including the morning pickup, the many various stops that were included on the tour and the amazing lunch,( the chicken was better than marybrowns or kfc!) At one point of the trip my wife and I had our own personal photographer shooting photos of us on the beach and the package to purchase them was very reasonably priced. I read many different reviews for many companies before settling on taking this tour and after the amazing day we had it is the best tour you can book.ps- if you like beer like I do ,served at lunch was a beer called #1, great beer! Forget the rest and book the seavis sanoa vip island full day tour,it will be the best day of your holiday and possibly your life!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Granville Island food tour. Michael was our tour guide. He was fantastic. He’s full of knowledge about all of the shops inside of the Public Market, as well as, Granville Island itself. He gave very clear instructions throughout the tour (got crowded quickly inside) to transition from one tasting to the next. Would recommend if visiting Granville Island for the first time, as it can feel very overwhelming with the many vendors inside of the Public Market. The tour helps narrow down which shops/vendors to choose from:) Also, recommend taking an Uber or Lyft to Granville Island as the parking spaces are pretty scarce/limited.

Michael our tour guide was amazing and our guests loved the entire experience. This truly is one tour everyone should experience when visiting Vancouver and Granville Island. It allows you to taste the highlights of the market with an experienced guide. Vendors have the samples ready upon arrival so no waiting in line. Thankyou

The food tour of Granville Island Public Market provided our group with tasty samplings from about 20 different vendors. Our tour guide was Lydia who was very knowledgeable about the individual vendors but also about the food we sampled. The market itself is quite large and offers a diverse array of foods. Lydia was great at keeping our group of about 10 people together as we walked through the market. We sampled cheeses, lemon squares, bread, maple cured salmon, teas, coffee, doughnuts, charcuterie. It was a lovely, fun and filling tour. I would highly recommend it. And save some time to walk around the shops close by the public market. The market is one of the stops on the Hop on Hop off bus route so it’s very easy to get to.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Granville Island VIP Food Tour! Our guide, Michael, was a wealth of interesting knowledge. The tour was very well organized and the samples were delicious! We were game to try things we don’t normally like and were pleasantly surprised that we LIKED them! We also appreciated the history behind each of the small businesses that we got samples from. We were so full from the fantastic samples that we didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day!

My family and I visited Vancouver from the Bay Area, California as a fun birthday/anniversary trip. Most of us had never been to Vancouver before, and none of us had been to the market. This tour was the perfect way to get to try things that we most likely would not have tried ourselves, and was a great way to get to learn all about the different vendors, and the history of the market itself. Our guide Preeti was AMAZING! She was so knowledgeable about everything we were trying and she really made everyone on the tour feel included. We had a great group and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

We had a GREAT time on our foodie tour of Granville Market. Our host was informative and personable. The food we sampled was interesting and also yummy. It was well worth the money we paid to go.

We were really happy with the amount and the types of food stops on the tour! It was a busy Saturday afternoon, but Michael was able to show us the vendor storefront and knew a quiet place to talk about the food. I really appreciated the history of the market and of each vendor. Additionally, we were late (warning: don't drive to Granville Island unless you get there an hour early to look for parking! We definitely underestimated the traffic and very, very limited parking spaces). Michelle was SO nice when I called to let her know we were late and she told me where the first few stops were and an approximate time they would be there. We missed the first two stops and caught up with the group on the third. Michael was incredibly kind and thoughtful to save our tastings from them! Excellent tour and fantastic customer service. Thank you!
