Didn’t notify us that the tour was cancelled
Felt very let down. The tour got cancelled as there was only us two booked on, which would have been fine if they had let us know that it wasn’t going ahead. We weren’t notified so we headed to the meeting point but no one was there. Very frustrating and disappointing. Customer service let us down.

Fun Tour of Three Breweries
We had an excellent tour with about 10 participants on my husband's birthday. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and drove us through Vancouver in a very comfortable, spacious van to three quite different breweries we never would have found on our own. Except for us and two others from Ireland, the rest on our tour were fun, friendly Canadians. It was an excellent way to spend the afternoon and learn about beers we've never tried before.

Tasty, fun and informative
We had a great experience with our guide Tim. The breweries and the beers were well chosen and gave a great view into Vancouvers craft brewery scene.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $91 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.
Is Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 147 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour?
+
Around 51 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Grand Bicycle Tour of Vancouver, The Stanley Park Bicycle Tour, Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour?
+
Included: Transportation Included - pick up, drop off and to and from the breweries; and All beer samples included with tour. Not included: If you enjoyed your tour, gratuities to your guide are optional and appreciated. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour?
+

What languages is Vancouver Behind-the-Scenes Brewery Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
