What fun! We enjoyed 3+ hours savoring delicious French pastries, Asian noodles, gourmet cheeses, award-winning pizza, and ice cream from one of Santa Barbara's iconic institutions. Plus, two terrific wine tasting rooms! Our wonderful guides (Evan and Victoria) and vendors were friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We learned lots of fun facts and enjoyed a good sampling of local wine and cuisine. All in all, a great way to spend an afternoon in beautiful Santa Barbara!

My husband and I selected this tour based on the TripAdvisor reviews I read, along with the description, so I don't think this company really needs another excellent review, but I feel compelled anyway. Evan and Victoria are a great pair for what they do. Our group had about 10 people and it was a nice size. We got a taste of SB history, fun facts, and a great mixture of food, wine and snacks to sample. The folks at the establishments we visited seemed eager to share their specialties and some background with us, and we couldn't have felt more welcomed. This tour was a great value, truly, and the length was just right, in our opinion. My only complaint- the average home price in SB is a bit out of our price range :(
