Chirag was energetic and engaged and made our experience great! He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every stop on our Gastown tour.

The food was good and my husband’s no dairy issues were accommodated nicely. More standing around between restaurants than expected. Hard on my husband. The meeting place to begin was WAY too noisy and couldn’t hear much. Very annoying.
Our tour guide was new and tried so hard, but would have preferred someone more experienced.
Felt rushed overall at restaurants.
