this was our first food tour in Santa Barbara and Taste Santa Barbara Food tours did not disappoint! Evan is so fun and professional. The food was more than we bargained for. All the stops were different, a nice variety. Loved it!!! Jeff & Vickie from Visalia, CA

As one of the stops on Evan's fabulous tour, I can't say enough about the quality of the tours she brings through the doors. I know restaurants and food shops can sometimes feel overwhelmed by large crowds of people walking through the door, but the Taste Santa Barbara Tour never feels that way; Evan has created an efficient, courteous, and downright entertaining framework that appears to be a home run every single time! The accolades I hear from people as they leave the store only reaffirm her organizational and creative skills! I welcome each and every tour with enthusiasm, and look forward to seeing what Evan does next!

What do you get a boyfriend who is a foodie? A food tour with Savor Santa Barbara. Erin, our guide for the tour, set clear expectations of what she intended to provide for us on this tour, gave us cultural and historical background information at every stop and even landmarks along our food path as well as selected locations that not only were indeed savory but whose tastes cohesively complimented each other. It was a joy to discover places are local favorites and contributors to the local economy. I had never been on a food tour before this weekend but from now on the bar is set high for the next tour company that we decide to book with in the future. A couple more positive notes- the tour started on time, Erin and her associate Kara were organized in addition, all communication from the website /etickets was clear and concise. In addition, the coupons given with the handout was not only helpful but useable afterwards. My only suggestion for improvement would be to make the handout digital- possibly save on paper. In short, this review is a rave- Use this food tour company and in addition earn karma points by supporting a local small business! I know I will be checking back with Savor Santa Barbara to book other tours!
