Very fun tour. Wide variety of restaurants/food/drink. Evan is funny and engaging and loaded with "tasty" tidbits about Santa Barbara!

I don't usually take the time to write reviews...But I had such a great experience with this tour, I wanted to take the time to share my experience. The food was fantastic and everyone was so knowledgeable. The guides did a great job keeping the conversation going between all of us on the tour. I learned A LOT about Santa Barbara - and I grew up here. : ) I would highly recommend this to anyone. Next time I have family and friends in town, I'll definitely include this on our to-do list.

I am a Santa Barbara native and have never been on a food tour. I had the most AMAZING time and incredible food which are all go backs! Kendall was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable, fun, and personable. This tour is an absolute MUST for tourists and locals alike. I learned so much about this beautiful town, fun facts, and history. I highly recommend Taste Santa Barbara! Great way to spend an afternoon!
