Food & Brewery Tour Testimonials
“One of the Highlights of our Vancouver Trip”
This tour was one of the highlights of our Vancouver trip! My boyfriend and I didn’t know that much about the craft beer scene before this, so the tour was a great introduction to the city, its beer and its people.

“Such a Step Up From Your Average Beer Tour!”
I learned so much, not just about craft beer, but also really cool nuggets of Vancouver history. The choice of beers was diverse and introduced me to a few new favourite brews. Highly recommended for Vancouver locals and visitors alike.

“More Interesting Than Doing a Beer Tasting on Your Own”
We enjoyed learning about beer, local history and the local neighborhood. The small group size was perfect for conversation along the way and each location had a different and unique vibe.

So this was a very last minute booking but Chad was very accommodating. I wouldn't say I'm actually that into craft beers but the different breweries he took us to actually had a lot of different styles of beer and different vibes. I discovered i liked some of them a lot more than i thought. It was also extremely interesting to see the actual process of behind the scenes of exactly what goes in the beer making world. The bloke is also just super easy to talk to and get along with. Time flies by and before you know it the tour is over hahahaha. A really great cruisy afternoon vibe and easy way to explore the area a bit.
Joined this tour with my wife, who is a beer enthusiast. The guide, Chad, is extremely knowledgable and provided clear explanation of different beers that we tasted. I like he blended in a little bit of history and background of the breweries we visited. Each brewry provided a good variation of staple and seasonal options. Not a complain. After the second stop, I was quited full already and was a little hesitate for the 3 third stop. I myself usually stop at 2 pints. Wish there could be a 2 stops options for told who cant drink as much. But again i love all the 3 breweries visited. Highly rated experience for both locals and visting Vancouver.
4 friends and I had a great time on the Mount Pleasant Brewery Tour! As most of us live in the neighbourhood, we were expecting to just be walking around having a few drinks. It was so much more than that. Chad was a wealth of information and taught us a lot about the beer making process. His knowledge of both the breweries and the history of the area took this tour to the next level. I can’t recommend this tour enough for a great afternoon getting to know the neighbourhood while tasting some delicious beers along the way. Thanks Chad!
The tour was absolutely amazing. The group and myself walked away informed and a little inebriated. Chad was super knowledgeable about the beers we sampled, the area we toured and everything else in between. Would highly recommend 🍻
Had a great time with Chad on a tour of Mt. Pleasant. He showed me and our group some great spots for food and really gave me a feel for the local culture. There was a “no car day” event going on, and even though Chad was a little worried it might mess things up, everything went smoothly and it actually added to the experience. Chad is super down to earth and interesting to chat with, I definitely felt like I was getting a local’s perspective! If you're looking for a guide who knows the area and just makes the whole experience chill and enjoyable, this is the one to book.
The mount pleasant food tour was fantastic! Great variety of flavours from around the neighbourhood (and the world), and it was great to learn so much about the area from a local! Tomer is a knowledgeable and approachable guide, and he clearly has built strong relationships with the community here. I especially loved learning a bit about the many murals in the area. Would highly recommend!
We had an excellent time with Chad today! We toured 3 different local breweries and learned so much about the history and culture behind the beers the whic defined the breweries. Definetley reccomended for beer afficionafos and beer needs alike! Highly recommended!
We had a great afternoon. We booked the walking tour as we wanted to get away from being stuck on a coach and have a more relaxed feel, really glad we booked it. Our guide was excellent just the right balance of knowledge and friendliness. Felt like having a few beers with your mate but learnt a lot about the local beer scene and the local area. I couldn't recommend it highly enough - Rich & Jen
We had a great time on our brewery tour! The guide put a lot of effort into tailoring the experience to our tastes and he was very friendly and knowledgeable 😊
Super fun day on this craft beer tour in Vancouver! I don't know a lot about beer and honestly am not a huge fan of it, but our guide Chad was very knowledgeable and cool, and helped me find some beers I actually liked! We also got to see inside the back of some of the breweries, and learn more about the magic behind the scenes of beer making, a unique experience. Overall it was a super fun time, good vibes with a nice group, and Chad was happy to offer tips on what to do after the tour in the neighbourhood. Definitely recommend this tour even if you're a bit beer-hesitant like me!
My partner and I live nearby (Burnaby), but we wanted to stretch our wings and discover some breweries in our backyard that we'd not been to before. We joined for the Craft Brewery Tour and had an awesome time! We found some awesome new beer that we will certainly be returning to and learned a lot about the beer we were drinking and the neighborhood it came from. Really great experience and knowledgeable guide! Definitely recommend!
Absolutely awesome craft beer tour with gorgeous locations and so much different beers. Including background information about the beers and beer brewing process. Thank you Chad for this fantastic event.
Thank you for the tour today, Chad was seriously such an expert in beer. My boyfriend Diego had an amazing time. I learned so much about beer and what I really enjoyed the experience!!
Consistent, professional, and great to work with. A strong presence in their local market.
Chad is a fantastic guide and the tour was awesome! I finally got my head around how exactly the brewing process looks like at the first steps (often missed out for some reason on other tours). The tastings were carefully selected and adjusted to our beer preferences. This is a walking tour, which is a rare thing, but it’s a great opportunity to visit smaller breweries and explore the neighborhood like a true local. 10 stars out of 5! 🍻
Chad took us on the local brewery tour. We had a lot of fun, great way to spend an afternoon. If you’re in the Vancouver area make sure you check it out!
Amazing experience with Chad! Warmly recommended.
I recently went on Chad’s craft beer tour in Vancouver, and it was such a fun experience! We visited three breweries—and it was great to explore the variety of local beers available. Chad kept the group small, which made the tour feel personalized and allowed us to ask questions and really learn about each brewery. I had no idea there were so many types of craft beers! The whole experience was relaxed, informative, and perfect for both beer enthusiasts and those new to craft brews. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Vancouver’s brewery scene!
A group of us went (locals) as a bday gift for our friend and had Chad as our guide.The tour was fun, informative and we all had a great time! Highly suggest booking with Chad for a great day with a lot of knowledge!
As we dipped into hidden-gem eateries, leaning into the significance of local flavours and histories—and people who generated them—I couldn’t help but feel charmed by the rediscovery of my own neighbourhood. Thank you, Vancouver Local Adventures, for a memorable afternoon. I would recommend this tour to locals and newcomers exploring off the beaten path.

Every route was designed by our founder, a Cicerone Certified Beer Server who has led tours and designed travel experiences around the world since 2006. Each one is built around brewers, cooks, and owners we’ve known for years, so whoever hosts you walks in as a regular.
Could you visit these places on your own? You can. You just won’t get greeted like a regular, or hear the story behind each pour from someone the owners and staff treat like family.
