My wife, our college student daughter and I had the best time. We were fortunate enough to have both the experienced tour guide as well as a local who was training for this tour. They take you to several varieties of establishments in Santa Bárbara. It is almost like you are being introduced to the local community by our expert guides. It is amazing to see how close knit the community is here. The food is wonderful and the wine is especially good. This is a “cant miss” tour. Highly recommend it!

We had originally booked this tour for last year with just my husband and myself, but had to cancel due to the fires. Our first opportunity to return to Santa Barbara was with our 6 and 9 year old sons, and I wasn't too sure how they would do walking around for 3.5 hours. But it was GREAT! The boys had fun, the food was excellent, our guide, Brittany, was wonderful, and we all had a great time. We even went back to one of the restaurants (Los Arroyos) two days later for lunch on our way our of town, and we visited one of the wine tasting rooms (Autumn Ridge) which Brittany had recommended. Evan, the owner of the company, was super accommodating with our rescheduling, and they easily worked around some dietary restrictions as well. Highly recommend, even for families with kids (perhaps not toddlers, but ages 6 and up will likely enjoy this tour).

Four of us did the S.B. food tour for my birthday. It was so well planned by our guide "Monica". Each restaurant were totally prepared for our visit and offered excellent choices. Adding in 2 wineries made it extra special. Monica has great knowledge of the history of Santa Barbara and made the day educational as well as fun. Wonderful Day!
