Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s a collection of our frequently asked questions. Got a question that isn’t answered here? Reach out to us via email or at 855-243-9224.

  • Does an itinerary-guided tour mean that we are on our own?

    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!

  • Why are guides optional on your tours?

    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!

    Prefer the added insights of a local host? Meet our hosts here and choose “host-guided” when booking your foodie tour.

    Interested in meeting like-minded people? Choose to join our limited availability Join a Group experiences. Still small groups, and a great way to meet other folks interested in the culinary world!

     

  • Does having no guide mean that we can show up anytime and that we have to pay for our food and drink?

    We’ve got you!

    Every delicious sip, morsel and experience has been planned for you. And all curated tastings are included in the price of your tour!

    While you will have some flexibility within your itinerary there are certain times that we have reserved just for you!

  • How much money should we take on tour with us?

    You would be fine if you left your wallet at home! Really! On every one of our tours 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!

    Note: Our chef-hosted tasting with Chef Vikram Vij at Vij’s includes one glass of welcome bubbles (alcohol or alternative). Should you wish to purchase wine or other beverages, you may pay the restaurant directly the night of your tasting experience.

  • Do you cater to gluten-free or plant-based or vegetarian diets?

    When booking your tour, please let us know of any allergies, restrictions or preferences. We want to provide food tours for all and will do our best to accommodate your requests.

  • I noticed that you serve alcohol on your tours, but I don’t drink alcohol.

    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.

  • Will there be anyone else taking the tour at the same time as our group?

    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!

    Be sure to check out our Join a Group option if you want to meet other people who love to discover communities through a culinary lens!

  • I’m thinking about bringing my partner on tour and he has a very big appetite. Will there be enough food with the curated tastings on tour?

    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! Some of our regular guests have even brought small containers with them to take home leftovers!

  • Is there a lot of walking on tour? I’m not sure that I can handle a long walk.

    All of our tours are less than 2 kms in length. This distance is spread out over about 5 hours on our walking tours. With plenty of time to sit and relax in between, you’ll find that it’s an active stroll. Our newest tour, 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 With The Chef options where you will stay at one location throughout the evening.

    If you want to do one of our tours but you’re not sure if you can manage it, reach out to us. We’d love to see what we can do for you.

  • I own a business and would like to take my employees on an outing. Can you custom curate a corporate outing?

    We love working with business owners to put together delicious tours for team building or client appreciation. Reach out to us for more information through our corporate page here.

    Please note that all consultations are subject to a $150.00 deposit prior to proposal presentation. This deposit is fully applicable to your tour upon booking.

  • We have plans to travel to a location in BC soon. Unfortunately there are no food tours available there. We are foodies and want to get a taste of the place. Can you help us? We love the Chew On This Tasty Tours model!

    You bet we can!

    We are experts at building itineraries and we have the connections to curate a delicious and memorable food-focused adventure wherever you go! Reach out via our Contact Us page for your custom curated itinerary.
