I have been travelling to Santa Barbara for twenty years but you never know a city like a local. The best hang outs are always a couple block off the main tourist areas where you would never look. SavorSantaBarbaraFoodTours.com provided a perfect day in beautiful Santa Barbara. Erin lead an intimate group through some of the best haunts in Santa Barbara, some new and some old, with interesting city history along the way. The food was perfectly sized for an eating adventure and the short walks between stop gave us an opportunity to relax and reflect on the great food we had just experienced. We also stopped a local watering hole and one of the best wineries in town. All in all, a wonderful day!

I really enjoyed my tour with Erin at Savor Santa Barbara! Because I signed up for a mid-week, off-season tour, I ended up being the only one on the tour. They were very nice and emailed to see if I'd prefer to go on a different day with a group. But since I was only in town for a few days and only had that day free, they went ahead and did the tour just for me. Erin was great! It was like visiting a new city with a friend. The restaurants we visited were very good and the food/drinks were excellent. Erin knows a lot about the city of Santa Barbara and gave lots of good info and history about the area. Every place we visited was someplace that I'd go back to for a meal. I'd highly recommend this tour if you're in Santa Barbara and looking for a fun way to try new places and see the city.

Honestly this was the first time I went on a food tour and I gotta say I really really enjoyed this tour! The diversity of the food you taste are soo delicious! I don't think I can say I didn't like any of the food on this tour but I definitely can say my favorite was the Lobster Bisque and the Acai Bowl! Lobster bisque is soo delicious and so creamy and the puff pastry on top just finish it off with a nice touch! Loved it! As for the Acai bowl was super good and all natural and healthy! Definitely don't mind driving back to get more! Not only you get to taste the many different kinds of food on this tour but you get to learn the history behind every restaurant and how they became who they are and also the history behind Santa Barbara and learning the many different architectures and why it is the way it is! Such a wonderful experience! It makes me wonder about my hometown and the many history behind it! Haha Last but not least! Our tour guide was awesome! She was really great and entertaining and kept us on out feet! Really enjoyed this tour and experience! I do not mind doing it again and for the price it's for! Thanks so much!
