As an anniversary gift to my husband I booked the Savor Santa Barbara Food tour. Since we were traveling during the week, we did the tour on Friday and were the only ones with Erin! We saw 6 different locations tasting Tacos at Rudy's, Beer at The Brewery, Lobster Bisque at Enterprise Fish Company (OMG SO GOOD!), wine at Santa Barbara Winery, Coffee at The French Press and lastly Ice Cream at McConnellā€™s! Great way to spend the day, Erin also threw in history of Santa Barbara and great facts of the city's architecture. Thank you Erin for creating a great experience for my husband and I!

The foot tour of Santa Barbara was excellent! Erin is the perfect guide.....and the places we visited were unique and tasty! We had seven stops all different and delicious! Not only did we learn about the flavors of Santa Barbara eating and drinking establishments, we learned some history as well!

What a perfect way to get a taste of Santa Barbara (literally)! We were celebrating our 14th anniversary and our guide Erin made it extra special! Every stop on the tour was so delicious, especially the heavenly lobster bisque at Enterprise Fish Company. We made a purchase at Santa Barbara Winery and Erin even went the extra mile and dropped it off at our hotel after the tour so we did not have to carry out purchase. I cannot think of a better way to spend an afternoon in Santa Barbara.
