There is definitely enough food for lunch on the Lunch Tour and enough for dinner on the Finer Things Tour and the Hidden Gems Tour. The Dessert Tour features amazing delicious bite size creations at each stop that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
-
For sure, chefs can accommodate almost all allergies, as along as you provide notice 24 hours before the tour. We unfortunately are unable to accommodate food preferences.
-
The main difference between the two tours is the selected Whistler restaurants we visit. The Hidden Gems Tour focuses more on local favorites while the Finer Things Tour focus more on higher end fine dining. They are both fantastic and have received equal interest so rest assured there is no bad decision.
-
Depending on the restaurant & food course stop, on the dinner tours we are at each venue for between 25-60 minutes. The restaurants are always ready for our groups with the food and wine, so there’s nothing rushed about the experience. On the lunch tour we are at each restaurant for approximately 30-35 minutes to check out the venue and sample a bite size creation from the chef.
-
We walk between all the restaurants, but they are never more than a 7-10 minutes apart. We advise guests to be aware of the weather conditions prior to the tour & to dress appropriately.
-
On dinner experiences the minimum is 3 people and maximum is 12 people on the regular tours. However, we can accommodate much larger groups (upwards of 60 people) with enough advance notice. Guided Lunch Tours require a minimum of 6ppl otherwise we can turn that into a Self Guided Tour where we provide a tour itinerary for you to follow.
-
Yes. It is possible to buyout the tour with any group size to ensure your party will be the only people on tour. Contact us for details.

The dinner tours are about 3.5 hours, but guests often stay at the last venue for a few more drinks as they are enjoying themselves. The lunch tour is about 3 hours in length.

Definitely. The food alone is worth coming out on tour.

Not on our regular tours, the guides meet guests at the designated departure location. All departure locations are in Whistler village and easy to find. For private groups we can sometimes arrange to have the tour guide meet the group in your hotel lobby.

There is valet and self-parking available at most Hotels. It is also a short 5-10 minute walk from the day lots to any of the meeting venues. Additionally, we do not suggest driving if you will be consuming alcohol. Most accommodation is a short walk or taxi ride from our finish venues.

We keep the regular tours to adults 19 years of age or older. However, we can often arrange private tours for families that would like to include their children that are younger.

No, restaurants in Whistler will cater to everything from ski suits to fancy dinner wear. However, the most common is smart casual. Also, guests should wear comfortable footwear for walking between restaurants in the village and dress weather appropriate.
