I was in town last weekend with friends (3 couples total) and we took this tour on the first day of a long weekend in town. It was a great way to get a feel for downtown. Food and wine portions were generous, along with a great variety and fun locations. Guide was very knowledgable and did a nice job of pacing. I would definitely recommend doing this tour.

What a treat and fun day! Evan and her assistant, Dylan, led a marvelous tour through the heart of Santa Barbara guiding us through much of the history of this wonderful city and ensuring our hearts, minds, and bellies were happily full. A great array of different types of cuisines, olive oil tasting and wine tasting...it was a really fun way to spend the afternoon and get to know some new people. Evan has wonderful people skills and does a beautiful job at creating a comfortable fun environment for everyone on the tour - you may be strangers at the beginning but everyone feels like friends by the end! I really appreciate how accessible the tour is: we meat at Reanaud's on State and parking was very easy, and then we walked our way around 6-8 city blocks and the end of the tour was close to where we started - so smart. And don't worry, you definitely get enough to eat! I was shocked by how full I was actually. Overall, a totally wonderful experience. Have fun on your tour!

My husband and I took my sister-in-law that was visiting from the East Coast. We live in Santa Barbara. We had the BEST time! Evan was a warm welcome to the usual boring tour guides. She made everything super fun and welcoming for the whole group. Can we talk about the food for a second? Ah-maz-ing! I've eaten at a few of the restaurants before and the tour definitely selected the best of what they serve. Plus it was more than enough to fill our bellies! If you're visiting SB, live in SB and want to entertain, or just want a SUPER fun thing to do for a day date... then this tour is for you! Plus it makes an amazing gift for an anniversary, birthday or even bachelorette party. A MUST do for Santa Barbara!
