Evan was INCREDIBLE. She went above and beyond to make my anniversary unforgettable. Nancy our tour guide was so sweet, we did a private tour and she would give us much needed privacy after showing us and informing us of a new taste experience. My fiancé and I learned so much about Santa Barbara and were even showed the courthouse. We told Nancy and Evan we were engaged and we were even shown restaurants to have our reception if we decided to get married in Santa Barbara. I recommended the tour the next day to every one at the spa I attended in my hotel. We were both very happy.

We loved everything about this tour. It was the perfect way to explore downtown Santa Barbara. Our tour guide, Maddy, walked us around town telling us about the history and architecture of SB, while stopping at local restaurants to taste some interesting and yummy cuisines. We explored some hidden coves around town that we never would have seen had we not been on the tour. Maddy was a great guide and we all thoroughly enjoyed her company, the sights, the history, and especially the food.

Taste Santa Barbara Food Tours made my wife's birthday an unforgettable one! Best of all, they made me look like a rock star b-day planner. Evan and her team catered the tours food and drink experience based on our wants and needs. We wanted to indulge in extra alcohol for our tour and they did not disappoint. The wine tasting and little cheese/cracker/olive box was the perfect way to start. The food was more than enough and so yummy. Those taco's were to die for! The walking and historical tour of Santa Barbara was truly just the right amount in between each stop. Our legs were never tired and we loved the backstories about the theaters and the courthouse. When our group detoured for an extra cocktail, Evan and our guide made sure we didn't miss the tour finale by hand delivering McConnel's ice cream to us to finish off the stellar tour! I can not say enough about this companies customer service. They delivered 100% customer satisfaction! I have been coming to Santa Barbara and State Street for 30+ years and this tour still blew me away. I will 100% be back to do another tour. All our friends are still talking about it weeks later!
