Excellent tour! We wouldn't have found the street art nor had the background knowledge without our wonderful guide, Erica. Something different than the typical tourist attractions and it made our trip special. In addition, doing the 2 beer tastings at local breweries was great and gave us a way to sample local beers.

First, Erica our tour guide was fantastic. Super professional and knowledgable. We lucked out as we were the only people on the tour but regardless, I would highly recommend the tour. We would never have found the murals and street art, and if we did, we wouldn't have had the information about the art, the artists, and the festivals. We stopped at 2 craft breweries to try a flight at each one and had the chance to sample quite a variety of ales and lagers (thanks Erica for educating us on that as well!)
Erika was excellent! She was so full of knowledge and really cared about the art she showed us. It was nice to have her perspective on life in Vancouver.
Daniel was the best guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly, dinosaur nerd which is a plus always. Had great beer and some sweet street art. Loved the dinosaur one. Highly recommend!
Daniel was the best guide! Friendly and knew his stuff. Also a dinosaur lover, as am I. The tour was very nice, we were a small group so it felt quite intimate. Good beers, nice art (the dinosaur one was the best). Highly recommend!
Fabulous tour. Daniel was so knowledgeable about the art and the beer flights were great. Highly recommend.
Daniel is a great guy, very friendly and showed us a lot of things! I had a great time, and would love to do it again:)
This tour was great fun. Vancouver has many interesting street art installations that I wouldn’t have known about or seen. Daniel was a great guide as he was extremely knowledgeable about the paintings. Beer too!
Really great experience and had Daniel as a guide. This was a great tour and so many amazing murals to see! My gf came with me and she doesn’t drink so Daniel was nice enough to point out an amazing coffee spot and got her a kombucha at the final place so she could also enjoy!
Erica was amazing! We lucked out on having her provide us a private tour. Her knowledge of city history and that of the artist who created the murals was beyond impressive. The Electric Bicycle and Faculty Club had varied delicious offerings of beer. 3 hours well spent!
Alexis is a great tour guide. Even though I was the only one in the tour, still he did his best. His explanation about the Vancouver history, old architectures, Murals, art centers and beer shops was perfect. This tour course is great because the places we visit are where only locals know and enjoy. If you want to experience real Vancouver, it is must do tour!!!
We enjoyed the Vancouver Street Art and Craft Beer Walking tour with Alex. She provided good information and took us to outstanding local breweries.
A wonderful day with Alexis learning about history, seeing beautiful street art and great beer too . We learned so much from Alexis, she was personable and polite and a great guide. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Alexis was fun and full of fun facts! He knows a lot of great history and tidbits to share. Loved the street art and coffee - great, unique tour of Vancouver!
We had a beautiful day for our tour and a knowledgeable and engaging guide in Erica. More than just giving information on the art and brews, she gave us some background knowledge of the different areas of Vancouver we were passing through. We had a great time and would recommend!
Special highlight to our amazing guide Daniel, who was super attentive and supportive throughout the tour. It was a super interesting experience—we learned a lot about Vancouver and enjoyed some tasty beers along the way.
We had a wonderful experience! We saw great art and drank great beer. Erica was an excellent guide!!
Great event. Explanation of the street art was so interesting. Erica our tour guide was great, adding a 3rd dimension to all of the art! Really enjoyed the neighborhood and the local brew pubs were great!
This experience was a great look at Vancouver's murals (they have a mural festival every year) in addition to some excellent craft beer! My husband prefers art, and I prefer beer, and this satisfied both of us - our tour guide, Erika, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a fun overall experience together! One thing to note is that it is a walking tour - outside - so dress accordingly!
Fran was amazing at the tour. Such great local knowledge on the artists and the history behind the murals. She gave great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Vancouver as well. A fab tour!
We had the most amazing day with Toonie Tours and Erika! She was amazing showing us the best spots in Vancouver. She was so knowledgeable and was an incredible guide. Would highly recommend!!
It was a fantastic experience with a small group of great people. Amazing, what's all hidden behind the more famous part of the Olympic Village. Ondrej gave us a wonderful impression about the combination of numerous amazing murals and the art of handcrafted beers made the tour indeed something special. My personal favorite place of the tour was the Faculty Brewing Co. since they provide the recepies of all their offered beers (where all we tasted were outstanding) on their web page. Perfect for a hobby brewer like me 😅
It's a great way to get to know a different side of Vancouver. Having some beer and getting to know fellow travelers is also a plus. I loved it. Ondrej did a great job as a guide. I highly recommend this tour.
Unforgettable! Amazing street art - Fran told great stories about them and is very knowledgeable in the local art scene. And the beers! So good 🍻. Lots of fun and an excellent way to see and learn about parts of Vancouver not on the usual tours.
Andrew! He was a great tour guide and knew the area so well. He could tell us about the history of the art and the area and also make great suggestions for flights of beer to try.
This was a really fun tour. Our tour guide Andrew was knowledgeable and made it was a lot of fun. The street art was beautiful and the beer stops only made it more fun
Cameron was aweome! Great steet art and brewery tour! Awesome so knowledgeable about the street art. Fun and knowledgeable
Andrew was an amazing g tour guide and historian. We felt as though we were spending the afternoon, exploring the area with an old friend.
What a fun tour! We were the only 2 lucky people on this tour. Andrew gave us a great private tour of some impressive street art, the Beaumont Studios with so many good artists and delicious craft beers. We would have never found all of this on our own and Andrew made it all enjoyable. He even managed to get us great weather for the tour.

This is a fun tour of mostly street murals, with a stop at some artist studios. Mix that with stops at a couple of unique breweries, and a personable and knowledgeable guide Andrew) and it was a great time.
The group was fun! Our tour guide was informative as well as lively! We had a great time. We would do it again!
The guide was so knowledgeable and we got so many photos and was so much fun would definitely recommend for any one.
Great and fun tour!! Franziska was a Great guide very knowledgeable and helpful on my stay on Vancouver with a lot on information on where to go and do!.
Cameron was a great tour guide and spoke clearly, had a lot of knowledge about the street art and history of Vancouver and was respectful.
Our guide was Andrew, and he definitely delivered a great experience for us. He was funny, informational, and all-around welcoming. The art was amazing and we even got to meet some of the artists! Definitely would recommend!
Im so glad i stumbled upon this tour last min during my short stay in Vancouver. If you like street art and brews, look no further! Fran, our tour guide was knowledgeable and super friendly. A must do if you are in the area.
We had such an amazing time on our tour with Andrew! I thought it was amazing how this tour brought us together with people from diverse backgrounds. We shared so much laughter, enjoyed beautiful artwork, and amazing beer (I’m not even a beer drinker but the beers were AMAZING!) Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable of local art culture and he was so welcoming. I loved that he took time to build personal connections with everyone on the tour. This made our visit to Vancouver sooo special! Definitely would (and have already) recommend to others!
This tour was awesome! Fran, our guide was very informative and engaging and shared lots of info. We saw and learned lots about the street murals, the Olympic Village and had personal visits with local artists in their studios. The beer tastings were fun and yummy!! Great tour. Highly recommend this Vancouver experience.
We did the Street Art & Craft Beer tour with Fran in Vancouver. She was friendly, fun and shared a passion for the art in the city. It was a full 3-hour tour with walking, and also…delicious beer. She made great recommendations for beer tasting as well as other places to check out in the city. Highly recommend to get a more neighborhood feel of parts of the city may not have otherwise checked out.
On my solo trip to Vancouver, I decided to go on the Street Art & Craft Beer Tour. I did so for the art but was pleasantly entertained with the tour of the brewery and the free beer sample. Couldn't complain about the bar food either. I was more so charmed with how informative Logan was. Ever question our tour group threw his way, either about beer, art murals, artist, Canada, etc., he answered with expertise and excitement to spread knowledge. This tour is perfect for solo travelers, beer fans, art lovers, and all in between. My only regret was not joining the other tours Logan, Nathan, & Joshua had to offer!
This was a wonderful walking tour. Andrew is a great guide and storyteller. Thoroughly enjoyed learning about the local street art scene and tasting some delicious beers 😊
Wonderful tour, led by Dan Fraser. Not big beer drinkers but enough selection to please....and the street art was amazing. Dan made this a memorable afternoon and was adept at engaging with participants to keep things interesting and lively. This was time and money well spent in Calgary! Thank you Dan!
This is an excellent way to enjoy the sights and tastes of Vancouver. Josh, our Group's Tour Guide, is quite knowledgeable of the art and artists and definitely has a passion for his hometown. The second brewery's flavors were nowhere as good as the first, though.
I had an amazing time! We were lucky to have an amazing weather as well, but I am sure, our guide could have made any day sunny! Great alleyways and corners that you'd never see without a guide!
Street Art with Craft Beer Tastings…our tour w/Joshua & Andrew was a great afternoon to evening. Speaks well of the company who stands by their commitments and does the tour for just the two of us. A “private” tour that felt personalized through an extraordinary neighborhood, Mount Pleasant, that we could not have done on our own. The art is “everywhere” and there are many stories behind the works. The tour went fast and before you know it…you’ve done over six tastings! Thank you to Joshua & Andrew for their laid-back approach; four new friends checking out Mount Pleasant, the street art & raising a glass or three!
We chose this tour because we knew it would show us a different side of the city than we had been exploring and we were right. Every stop on the tour was amazing and unique. It was also just great to see how much the city has embraced art and artists. If you have the time I would suggest you check this tour out.
We loved this tour, which was not only about beer but also about street art and the history of the area. Joshua was a great guide who made us feel welcome right away! He has a lot of knowledge and is great at storytelling. It was like being with friends and it is definitely something that we could not have experienced on our own. Highly recommended.
Our tour guide Josh was super informed about the murals around Mt. Pleasant and had some sweet picks on local breweries. As locals of the area, we might have been able to scratch the surface. However, it was a way deeper experience having someone guide us to the best murals and give exciting stories and insights into each piece we looked at. I would have no problem recommending this tour to someone just visiting Vancouver or a local looking to do something fresh and exciting.
I had a wonderful time during this tour and saw a different part of Vancouver, accompanied by some delicious beer. If you're looking for a unique and fun experience while in Vancouver, I highly recommend!
