Our Founders

Doug & Jewel Taylor are serial entrepreneurs that have lived and worked together for over 40 years. They met at a restaurant on the water that Jewel had started after travelling internationally for 5 years. Doug had also travelled internationally and was playing music in Miami before coming to Vancouver where he offered to play for her restaurant guests. The rest as they say is history.
They started Taste Vancouver Food Tours out of their love for good food, hospitality and fun entertainment. “We also knew that having amazing tour guides would be a vital part of making the food tour not only delicious but really fun. For that reason, we hired professional actors and improv comedians that also have a passion for great food to guide our tours. They add a level of fun and spontaneity to our tours that our guests rave about. Hence our tag line “More Yum more Fun”!
