      Brewery Tour
      We did a brewery tour and had a great time with Kevin! We were there for a bachelorette trip and happened to be on a tour with another bachelorette group. Kevin let us sing and play our own music, took pictures for us and was very nice to chat with along the way. We want to come back for the wine tour in the summer! 10/10 would recommend!

      Very well organized, very rich, and very educational. It is not just a pleasure to have a tour with someone like Tim; it is an honor to meet such an expert of the industry. Thank you for such an amazing experience.

      Amazing
      We did the Vancouver Brewery Tour and our tour guide was Jeremy. The tour was great and so was Jeremy! We went to three locations, driven in a bus between the locations. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and shared lots of great information regarding the breweries across the lower mainland, as well as brewing/beer facts and processes. 100% would recommend this tour.

      EXCELLENT
      Ryan was an Excellent Tour Guide! Very knowledgeable, more than willing to answer any questions and very personable. He did an excellent tour especially during these strange times. Always felt safe and distancing was done the best possible. Some excellent beers and some not so much but everyone's tastes are different. We had a GREAT time!!! Fully recommend

      Excellent experience
      Ryan, our tour guide was just amazing, really beyond expectations; he explained not only all around 🍺 craft beer in Vancouver but also things about the city. It was our first time in Vancouver . We really enjoyed this experience. Highly recommended 😊👍. Thank you Ryan. Adriana.

      Beer, BBQ and Fun!
      This was our second Vancouver Brewery and Food Tour - Italian theme last year and BBQ this year. Such a great way to try new restaurants that we may not otherwise make it to and the craft brewery stop is always a highlight! Jeremie was an awesome host combining equal parts craft brewery knowledge, local insights, and humour. Highly recommend this tour!

      Terrific tour during Dine Out Vancouver
      Just finished a great tour that included not just beer but also specialty coffee, brunch and donuts! Good opportunity to meet locals, see other parts of Vancouver and discover some hidden gems. Guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended. I wish they had such a tour company in my home town!

      Craft Beer - MMMM good
      I am a non-drinker. I had a great time tasting the different craft beers. There was a nice variety to try. Jeremie was a great tour guide.

      Terrific brewery tour
      Our guide, Jeremie, was knowledgable, witty and entertaining. He showed us the various steps involved in brewing beer, and we had several beer samples at each stop. I definitely recommend this tour!

      Informative and delicious experience
      The Vancouver Craft Brewery and Food Tour was a great experience, Jacob was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about the brewing process and variations of beer. Each of the beers we tasted were unique and interesting and very good. The group was awesome and we had a fantastic time all around.

      So much more than beer!
      This tour was started under the premise of a beer tour but it turned out to be much more than that. Our guide Jeremy exceeded our expectations in terms of knowledge and personality. The tour included one casual but informative lesson on the process beer making, followed by a two excellent tastings. We learned about Gastown history along the way, and were provided excellent recommendations on beer, restaurants and must see places outside of usual tourist traps. Most impressively, Jeremy flowed easily into our small group of two unacquainted couples while still keeping us on schedule. I am confident that even if we did not clique as a group he would have been able to provide us with individual attention just as easily. When we return (not if!) I would definitely book another location as long as Jeremy is our guide.

      Best brewery tour in Vancouver
      Booked this tour as a surprise birthday gift for my boyfriend, and it was great! Definitely suggest to anyone debating any of these tours to do one. It was so great to learn more about beer and also about the local beer industry. Jacob was such a great tour guide, would love to have him again!

    Super awesome tour today with Ryan. The VIP access was nice and made it easy to get in and out of the breweries easily, but still felt like we really spent time at 3 different places. Ryan did and excellent job selecting the brews and expanding our palates!! Visiting the breweries on our own would not have been as much fun or as impactful. We had lots of beer and all of it was very good. Thank you for the great afternoon!

    We did this tour in October 2019 (pre-Covid), but forgot to post. It was an amazing experience. Our guide was very informative and friendly. Each of the breweries were unique and enjoyable. I love being able to try beers I can't get anywhere else. One of the brewer masters snuck me a taste of a unreleased beer that were working on (shhhh). I would definitely do this tour again.

    We had a surprise event for our group of almost 20. The surprise factor is typically a bit challenging as there may be surprise accomodation needed such as non-alcoholic and non-beer drinkers that we wouldn't know ahead of time. Darren, our host and guide was really great making sure everyone was well taken of. And Darren did everything with enthusiasm and probably his signature, his lovely smile! For a big group event, communication plays an important role to make sure everthing goes smooth. Darren made us feel at ease all along! Fun event and everyone had a great time! Thank you Darren for your great work to make this happen!

    Small groups of beer lovers made this very special. Two locals on the tour gave us a wonderful evening of conversation and insider info. I highly recommend Kevin as a guide—he was knowledgeable and easy-going, which helped us make a core memory out of this trip!

    Our tour guide Tim was very knowledgable on the science and process of beer. I would recommend him at any tour.
    He isn't only knowledgable about beer but also knows his stuff on Cider and Wine.

    Our guide, Michael, was awesome and very knowledgable. The breweries were fun and the beer was great! Most of all, though, the company of the other folks on the tour was what made it so much fun. We all had a great time together. I would recommend this tour :)

    Our guide Darren was awesome. We had a small group of people but they were a great bunch and we had an excellent time. Very different breweries and beers so there was something for everyone. Ordered food at our second stop which was also great. Would highly recommend this tour and thank you Darren for an excellent evening.

    Our tour guide, James was early for pickup. Loved the timeliness. He was gracious, friendly and full of knowledge about our beer selections and the brewing process. Our tour mates were great! Never met any of them before but by the end of the evening we had made some new friends. Fun and interesting!

    Went on the 3 Brewery Tour for a buddies stag and had a fantastic time!

    We had Kevin Williams for our tour guide and he was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the brewing process but kept the afternoon light . Very funny guy which was a hit with the group he took around.

    If your looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon and like beer take one of the tours!
