Well organized tour that visited a variety of restaurants from Pizza Port to Gonzo Ramen. The tour guide/owner allowed plenty of time to eat & enjoy one another’s company. I loved the fact that there were only 6 people on the tour. Tour guide also infused a little bit of the history of Carlsbad along the tour. I highly recommend!

Carlsbad village is a really fun place that we would have totally missed without this tour. Really enjoyed David's historical notes. Italian, crepes and strawberry shortcake were excellent. Wine was very so-so, tacos al pastor meat very dry. Gelato fair, some flavors way better thsn others. But overall a really enjoyable way to spend the day and we were not hungry after! Even got to try famous Carlsbad water.

Carlsbad is a great place to stroll through the streets of its european style village by the sea. We have a lot of great restaurants and shops to explore in town. And learning about Carlsbad's history while doing so is even better. We are however sorry to hear that you did not enjoy some of your tastings, we will take that into consideration for future tours.

It is interesting to see that there are many different guides named in reviews for this tour. We had David and really enjoyed our time together. I feel food tours are the best way to learn about an area when the guide both explains the history of the area as well as introducing local restaurants. David's tour was exactly that combination. He even carried a booklet to show early pictures of various locations to enhance our experience and the facts he presented. So history is interesting and going home with some knowledge of the place you visited is nice but there are many different tours that can do this.... but eating and exploring local food along the way is FABULOUS. Even better, you have some suggestions for the rest of your stay.
