Here’s a collection of our frequently asked questions. Should you not find the answer you are looking for here, don’t hesitate to reach out to us here.
Absolutely not! A self-guided tour takes you on a culinary adventure with the aid of an itinerary. It tells you where to start, where to end and every step in between. Your hosts are expecting you with a sip, a taste and a smile! Don’t be surprised if they welcome you by name!
During the pandemic, in order to continue to offer the tours during the tightest restrictions, we shifted to a model where our itinerary took on the role of a remote guide.
You’ll love having a day fully planned for you where you can just hang out together. No need to decide or agree on where to go or what to do. Just show up hungry and ready for fun!
We’ve got you!
Every delicious sip, morsel and experience has been planned for you.
While you will have some flexibility within your itinerary there are certain times that we have reserved just for you!
You would be fine if you left your wallet at home! Really! We have factored in the cost of all of your tastings, takeaways and even tips!
However, you might want to bring some spending money just in case because you’re definitely going to see some great things along the way!
As this is a food tour there will be occasions where a bakery doesn’t have gluten-free options or a chocolatier doesn’t have dairy-free options. But we do work with our destination hosts to cater to as many of your needs as possible.
Our tours are food focused. Although you will have the option to enjoy a glass of wine or beer or a cocktail depending on which tour you take, we always ask you your preference before the tour. Your destination hosts will be prepared to offer you an alternative.
Although you may see other folks on tour, you will always be seated at your own table or moving between locations on your own schedule.
At certain locations the hosts may speak to more than one group at a time but our tours are always intimate in size.
Give a wave to the other folks with the Tasty Totes but enjoy the day all to yourself!
100%!
We have never had anyone say that they didn’t have enough to eat on tour! On the contrary, you may have to take some of your tastings home with you!
All of our tours are less than 2 kms in length. This distance is spread out over about 5 hours. With plenty of time to sit and relax in between, you’ll find that it’s an active stroll. Our newest tour, DIG IN & DISCOVER in Chilliwack’s District 1881 is only about 400 m over the entire tour making it ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
If you would prefer to linger over a chef-hosted experience, see the options available through our sister company With The Chef.
