Why the Surrey Spice Trail

is the Best Summer Activity for Friends

taste the world in one afternoon

Taste the World in One Afternoon: The Spice of Life tour takes you on a 4-hour journey through Surrey’s vibrant multicultural food scene, inspired by the ancient spice routes. You’ll sample everything from aromatic Thai Tom Yum soup and Afghan saffron tea to Indo-Chinese fusion and Indian sweets—all without leaving British Columbia

Perfect for Groups

Whether you want a private, host-guided adventure just for your crew or to join a group and meet fellow culinary explorers, the tour is designed for flexibility and fun. Private tours guarantee a relaxed pace and special attention, making it ideal for celebrations, reunions, or simply catching up with friends

Self-Driving Freedom, Host-Guided Experience

You and your friends drive yourselves between each of the four handpicked, culturally diverse restaurants, spending about an hour at each. At every stop, your host—often Lise Hines, culinary curator and founder of Chew On This Tasty Tours—greets your group, introduces you to the owners, and brings the stories behind the food to life with engaging anecdotes and local flavour

Every stop introduces you to passionate chefs and family-run eateries. Hear their stories of resilience, migration, and the power of food to bring people together. This isn’t just a meal—it’s a cultural experience that deepens your bond with each other and the community
